Do something like

Code: Select all

service iptables start

to make sure its running.

[edica]

# service iptables start
iptables: unrecognized service

To restart the service type in SSH logged in as root.

service iptables restart


To ensure that iptables starts when the system is booted, use the following command:

chkconfig --level 345 iptables on

this is for centos.
