I was holding off on deploying a few servers until 15.0 came out. I was going through my first 15.0 install (server mode / ssh) and got to the firewall configuration and received the message telling me yast has no firewall module and to please use firewall-config or firewall-cmd. zypper shows yast2-firewall is installed but SuSEfirewall2 is not. Before I tried to force the issue I figured I would ask if there’s been a change to how network / firewalls should be administered in this version.

Yes, there’s been a move to using firewalld as SuSEfirewall2 has been deprecated. However, it’s still available if desired.

systemctl enable firewalld

systemctl start firewalld

then either use the graphical UI (firewall-config) via YaST, or the CLI tool ‘firewall-cmd’.

A graphical guide…

firewall-config

The man pages

man firewalld

man firewall-config

man firewall-cmd
