Tables in nftables hold chains. Each table only has one address family and only applies
to packets of this family. Tables can have one of six families.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 uses firewalld
for firewall management. When nftables
is
the firewall backend used by firewalld
, an
family table called
is used.
To verify that the nftables
table used by firewalld
exists, run the following
command:
$ sudo nft list tables
table
This table is automatically created by firewalld
when it is started.
