1. List all zones Use the following command to list information for all zones. Only partial output is displayed. 
firewall-cmd --list-all-zones
Output:

work
 target: default
 icmp-block-inversion: no
 interfaces:
 sources:
 services: dhcpv6-client ssh
 ports:
 protocols:
 masquerade: no
 forward-ports:
 sourceports:
 icmp-blocks:
 rich rules:

drop
 target: DROP
 icmp-block-inversion: no
 interfaces:
 sources:
 services:
 ports:
 protocols:
 masquerade: no forward-ports:
 sourceports:
 icmp-blocks:
 rich rules:
 .....


Public is the default zone set, if you do not change it. To check the currently set default zone use the below command:
firewall-cmd --get-default-zone
public


2. List allowed service and ports on the system To show currently allowed service on your system use the below command. 
firewall-cmd --list-services
dhcpv6-client ssh 



To list the ports that are open on your system: 
firewall-cmd --list-ports

You would normally see no ports listed here when you have just enabled the firewalld.

 

3. To Enable all the incoming ports for a service You can also open the required ports for a service by using the –add-seervice option.

To permit access by HTTP clients for the public zone: 
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=http


success To list services that are allowed for the public zone: 
firewall-cmd --zone=work --list-services
dhcpv6-client http ssh 


Using this command only changes the Runtime configuration and does not update the configuration files. The following sequence of commands shows that configuration changes made in Runtime configuration mode are lost when the firewalld service is restarted: 
systemctl restart firewalld
firewall-cmd --zone=work --list-services
dhcpv6-client ssh



To make changes permanent, use the –permanent option.

Example: 
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
success


Changes made in Permanent configuration mode are not implemented immediately.

Example: 
firewall-cmd --zone=work --list-services
dhcpv6-client ssh 


However, changes made in a Permanent configuration are written to configuration files.

Restarting the firewalld service reads the configuration files and implements the changes.

 Example: 
systemctl restart firewalld
firewall-cmd --zone=work --list-services
dhcpv6-client http ssh



4. Allow traffic on an incoming port The command below will open the port 2222 effective immediately, but will not persist across reboots: 
firewall-cmd --add-port=[YOUR PORT]/tcp

For example, to open TCP port 2222 : 
firewall-cmd --add-port=2222/tcp

The following command will create a persistent rule, but will not be put into effect immediately: 
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=[YOUR PORT]/tcp

For Example, to open TCP port 2222 : 
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=2222/tcp

To list the open ports, use the command :
firewall-cmd –-list-ports
2222/tcp



5. Start and stop firewalld service To start/stop/status firewalld service use the below commands: 
systemctl start firewalld.service
systemctl stop firewalld.service

To check the status of the firewalld service: 
systemctl status firewalld.service
