iptables v esxcfg-firewall

[Oli_L]

Hi,

Just wondering what is the best method to manage the firewall in ESX. I am seeing mixed results when restarting iptables

using the console on ESX. What ever I put in esxcfg-firewall does not stick when using IP tables

Anyone have an opinion on useing iptables v esxcfg-firewall?

Cheers

Oli

Although it is based on iptables, it does not standard configuration files (for example /etc/sysconfig/iptables).

So the best way is always use the  esxcfg-firewall command.
