IPTABLES : Linux based firewall
If you are Apps DBA, I assume you never have to do this but if you are in situation like me (Apps Server running IPTABLES firewall and you handling both Linux server and Apps) then here is quick way to open port from linux based software firewall IPTABLES.
1. Identify Port which you need to open on firewall (For Apps 11i/R12 with port pool zero, open port 8000/web & 8100/forms )
2. Open port in firewall with below command
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp –dport <port_number> -j ACCEPT (replace port_number) like
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp –dport 8000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp –dport 8100 -j ACCEPT
3. Save IPTABLES like configuration
service iptables save
4. Restart service IPTABLES like
service iptables restart
