   My platform is Redhat 7.2 in  default congiguration.

  While I execute "iptables  -nvL input"

  I got the following message on screen:


   [root@myfirewall account]# iptables -nvL  input
iptables: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

    why?  how to find the talbe? does  it need a special patch?

 Thanks.

Hi

The built in chains are in CAPITALS. INPUT is a chain in the filter
table (the default if not specified).

try:
iptables -nvL INPUT

  It's case sensitive:

07:25:43 0$ iptables -nvL  input
iptables: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
root@jimblewix:/other/backup;
08:07:48 0$ iptables -nvL  INPUT
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
...

Just type what you were told to, respecting the case...

root@elendil:~# iptables -nvL input
iptables: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

root@elendil:~# iptables -nvL INPUT
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 133K packets, 72M bytes)

Try iptables -nvL INPUT
Default chains are in capital letters.
By the way : Reading the man page would have answered this.

Table names are case sensitive. Use INPUT, not input :-)
