Firewall in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is a suite of system and network administration tools that allow administrators to restrict access to network ports, protocols, and services. Firewall policies can be created to allow or deny incoming and outgoing traffic on a per-service, per-port, or per-protocol basis.

The firewall can be used to protect systems and networks from unauthorized access, and to control the flow of traffic between systems. Firewall policies can be configured to allow or deny traffic based on the type of traffic, the source and destination systems, and the type of protocol.

In order to create a firewall policy, administrators first need to identify the services and ports that need to be protected. Next, the ports that need to be open on the Target system must be identified.

Finally, the policies that will be used to control the traffic between the systems must be determined.
