We need to set up some ip tables on a remote Linux Server. &nbsp;I want to take the precaution that if a wrong ip table is entered we will loose access to the remote box.<br />
<br />
With a Cisco Router I save the configuration and I use the command &quot;reload in 5&quot;.<br />
Then I enter the configuration. &nbsp;If something goes wrong, the router reboots with the previous configuration and no harm done.<br />

Is this possible with a Linux Centos Server where ip tables are being applied?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Experts,

We need to set up some ip tables on a remote Linux Server.  I want to take the precaution that if a wrong ip table is entered we will loose access to the remote box.

With a Cisco Router I save the configuration and I use the command "reload in 5".
Then I enter the configuration.  If something goes wrong, the router reboots with the previous configuration and no harm done.

Is this possible with a Linux Centos Server where ip tables are being applied?

Thank you.

Remote reboot for linux - ip tables

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.

Linux Security

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
