Hi folks, I have a question about IPtables rules and such.
The jist of my network is as follows:
Server 2008 running veritas 12
Fedora Core 7 with the ralus agent.
Currently I have my scripts backing up what I need at 1am. At 2am I flush IPtables. At 2:05 am Backup exec goes in and grabs the files, at 3am the iptables rules are back in effect.
Currently the rules for IPTables that I have allow backup exec to communicate with the FC7 box, but when the actual backup goes it fails.
The only things that I could really find was that it backup exec uses port 10000 with the nmdp protocol. I tried making some rules but IPtables didn't recognize that protocol.
Here's what I have so far for my IPTables that is related to the Backup exec end of things:
#for backup exec
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 6101 --sport 1024:65535 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 6101 --sport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -i eth0 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 10000 --sport 1024:65535 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 10000 --sport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -i eth0 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
Thanks for your help!
Derek
