Hi,
How can firewalld be configured to allow access to sshd from only specific IP addresses?
For each IP address, I'll explicitly allow access:
firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.1.0/24" service name="ssh" accept'
But how does one reject the rest? source address="0.0.0.0/32" isn't allowed.
Thanks, MikeC

Hi,
You could do it by inverting your source address like this:
# firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="192.168.1.0/24" invert=true service name="ssh" reject'
The "invert" option is described in the firewalld.richlanguage man page.
Anyway, I don't think you need to explicitly reject it as that's the default target for the public zone (assuming that's what you're using) so, in a nutshell, any incoming traffic, for which there isn't an "ACCEPT" rule, is going to be REJECTed anyway. In my case, I go one step further: I change the public zone's default target from REJECT to DROP. You can easily do this with firewall-config by editing the zone's properties.

But I have several addresses.

I'll look at setting the public zone default target to do what I want.
I must have changed this default somehow. I had to learn about, then create a list of rich rules with accept for sshd because all ssh connections were being dropped (or rejected).
Thanks, MikeC
So I'm rather new to firewalld however here's how I would go about doing it.
Pick a zone for your interface (public,internal,dmz,whatever). Then look at its default policy (ACCEPT,DROP,REJECT). I presume most of them have a default policy of REJECT. Once you have your interface tied to a zone, then look at the default services that are allowed. Suppose you pick public, it has default policy of REJECT. Lets also assume it has enabled the ssh service. This basically means that it rejects all but ssh.
If you take that zone, remove ssh from the default enabled service, add your rich rules for the source addresses you want. It should now only accept ssh connections from the rules you've provided.

Then don't use the invert option and specify the address you want with the "reject" at the end. But as I already mentioned, this doesn't make sense if you allow the "default target" to be REJECT or DROP.

You can restore the defaults by copying the zone definition files from:
/usr/lib/firewalld/zones/* (the stock ones) to /etc/firewalld/zones

Is there firewalld-cmd syntax for this? I'm assuming there is given I must have screwed the default up in the first place. I'm using Fedora 19 running in a headless VM.

I'm really not sure about firewall-cmd but you could just modify the XML definition file for the zone located at:
/etc/firewalld/zones/public.xml
..and change :
<zone target="REJECT"> to <zone target="DROP">
...followed by:
# systemctl restart firewalld

None of my zone's seem to have existing xml for "zone target":
[root@node zones]# pwd /etc/firewalld/zones [root@node zones]# grep target *.xml [root@node zones]#
I might add it and play around.

This seems to work. I needed to remove the ssh service as well. Having the ssh service might have been the problem in the first place. Regardless, it seems to negate my rich rules. The clue was that the rules would disappear (guessing optimized out) from one
"firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-all" to the next.
I have (since removed) the --add-port protocol="tcp" port="80" for Apache, and added it as a service.
Time for a pint.
Thanks everyone MikeC

Firewalld has a separation between built-in zones and customized zones. The built-in zones are located in /usr/lib/firewalld/zones, the customized are located in /etc/firewalld/zones.
If there is no customized zone file in /etc/firewalld/zones, the built-in is used. You can also revert to the built-in zone settings easily for example with the configuration tool or by removing the matching file in /etc/firewalld/zones.
Everything that is not explicitely accepted or dropped with a setting in a zone or by a zone binding by incoming interface or source address is rejected in the end. Within a trusted zone (target=ACCEPT) all things are accepted that are not explicitely dropped or rejected. Within a drop zone (target=DROP) all things are dropped that are not explicitely accepted or rejected. Within a reject zone (target=%%REJECT%%) all things are rejected that are not explicitely accepted or dropped. Within a zone without the target setting or with the default target setting the final REJECT rule in the firewall will apply for all things that are not configured differently in the zone.
I hope this helps a bit more to understand the concept of zones within firewalld.
[root@node zones]# pwd /etc/firewalld/zones [root@node zones]# grep target *.xml [root@node zones]#
