8.13.2 Configuring the Network and Firewall
Network and firewall configuration commands are often wanted in scripts. Use
yast
lan
for network configuration and
yast firewall
.
To display the YaST network card configuration options, enter
yast lan help
. To
display the YaST firewall card configuration options, enter
yast firewall help
.
The network and firewall configurations with YaST are persistent. After reboot, it is
not necessary to execute scripts again.
To display a configuration summary for the network, use
yast lan list
. The first
item in the output of Example 8.4, “Sample Output of
yast lan list
” (page 185)
is a device ID. To get more information about the configuration of the device, use
yast
lan show id=<number>
. In this example, the correct command is
yast lan
show id=0
.
Example 8.4 Sample Output of yast lan list

The command line interface of the YaST firewall configuration is a fast and easy way

. For examples of how to
enable a service or port, use
yast firewall services help

querading, enter
