Manage iptables of multiple machines centrally

[premkumar]

Hi Forum,
I have around 1000 linux servers, I am looking to manage iptables of all the linux servers centrally
Like If there is a change in iptables of 500 machines that should be done from once central web browser
Also any addition / deletion of iptables on linux boxes can be done from central web browser itself
Can fwcloud solve this problem
Thanks for the support

Hi,
I think that you can manage this very easy with FWCloud, but it would be great if you give us more detailed information about what you want to do.

Please, may you give us more information?

Thank you.

Requirements are as follows
1. Have a centralized web UI to add and delete iptables to Linux Servers
2. Create groups of Servers based on Iptabels, Add modify the group and push the iptables to the group
3. Currently if there is even a small update in iptables like a public IP, Then manually around 500 to 600 Linux servers iptables have to be updated
4. Overall looking for a centralized iptables management of Linux Servers (Centos 7 / Centos 6 / Oracle Linux )
5. Also some Linux servers are in AWS and Oracle cloud, Will fwcloud be able to take care of linux servers in Oracle cloud and AWS Cloud
6. Can you please provide videos / Support pages to achieve the above
Thanks & Regards,
Premkumar Waghmare

1. Have a centralized web UI to add and delete iptables to Linux Servers

FWCloud meets this requirement.

2. Create groups of Servers based on Iptabels, Add modify the group and push the iptables to the group

You can create clusters of any number of nodes all with the same IPTables/NFTables policy.
Even you have the option of apply one policy rule to only one node instead of applying it to all nodes (default action).

3. Currently if there is even a small update in iptables like a public IP, Then manually around 500 to 600 Linux servers iptables have to be updated

In a firewalls cluster all node share the same policy, then you change it one and then load it to all cluster nodes.

4. Overall looking for a centralized iptables management of Linux Servers (Centos 7 / Centos 6 / Oracle Linux )

FWCloud can do it.

5. Also some Linux servers are in AWS and Oracle cloud, Will fwcloud be able to take care of linux servers in Oracle cloud and AWS Cloud

Of course, with FWCloud you can manage any Linux firewall with IPTables or NFTables as packet filtering system.
For improve management security of public cloud hosted firewalls we usually create what we call management VPNs. VPNs created from the destination firewall to the FWCloud console for manage it securely. It is very easy create them using FWCloud.

6. Can you please provide videos / Support pages to achieve the above

You have lot of video tutorials and documentation in this section of our web:

And a full FWCloud-UI users manual:

Please, let me know if you have further questions.
