Add a port for tcp connection

zhshqzyc · Post by **zhshqzyc** » 2016/03/21 17:20:00

I want to establish a tcp connection from my Windows desktop to a CentOS server. So I added a port by the command

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=5004/tcp

Is it right?

If you run it with --permanent then it only affects the saved configuration not the running one. You need to run it twice, once with and once without --permanent

The second time when I run the command without --permanent. It warns me:

ALREADY_ENABLED

The other thing is even I added the port. It is still rejecting external connection.

Start the service using that port.

How? Please advise me a little details.

How should I know? You are the one wanting to use that port.

Okay. Sorry for misunderstanding. I thought it was something else.

But it still rejects me. Not sure why? Also can I put the port into a configuration file? I don't know which file is for that?

CentOS
