OpenHPC: Configure Firewalld

Setup a trusted internal zone

################################################################################
# Configure the firewall
################################################################################
# Ensure the firewall is active (some VM images don't include it)
yum -y install firewalld
systemctl enable firewalld.service
systemctl start firewalld.service

# Allow all traffic on the internal cluster network interface
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=trusted --change-interface=${sms_eth_internal}

# Perform NAT for traffic going out the public interface
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-masquerade
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.d/ip_forward.conf

# Be restrictive on the external network interface
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --change-interface=${sms_eth_external}

# If there is an InfiniBand fabric, trust its traffic
if [[ "${enable_infiniband}" == "true" ]]; then
    firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=trusted --change-interface=ib0

# Reload rules for them to take effect
firewall-cmd --reload

Configuring Firewalld to forward traffic between Internal and External Interfaces
