OCI: How to stop unwanted firewalld processes

edited Jul 4, 2023 7:12AM in Linux

Applies To:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Linux x86-64


Goal:

This document outlines the steps required to stop any unwanted firewalld processes


Symptoms:

The firewalld.service is stopped and disabled, but the “firewall-cmd --state” indicates that firewalld is “running.

$ firewall-cmd --state 
running

The “firewall-cmd” is not dependent on the firewalld service, and if the firewalld process is started independently of the firewalld.service, then the “firewall-cmd --state” will show that firewalld is “running”.

To confirm, check the firewalld.service:

$ systemctl status firewalld.service
● firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:firewalld(1)

Howdy, Stranger!
