Firewalld instructions are incorrect

Question

It seems that the Firewalld instructions are incorrect. Specifically, the very last group of commands, I get the following error:

[root@jira services]# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rule ipv4 nat OUTPUT 1 -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8443
usage: see firewall-cmd man page
Wrong usage of 'direct' options.

I am very new to firewalld, so I am unclear as to how to correct this issue.

Hi Rene,

It was missing the --direct flag on that command. I've already updated our documentation. The correct command is:

firewall-cmd --permanent --direct --add-rule ipv4 nat OUTPUT 1 -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8443
