a) Linux 7 onward:

IPtables and Firewalld are disabled by default in downloaded VM, therefore this step could be skipped. However if you'd like to setup:

Download latest binaries:

No Format
yum install -y firewalld firewall-config

Check the IPtables are inactive, enable and start the firewalld feature:

ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service' '/etc/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/firewalld.service'

add new ports' exceptions to firewalld and reload:

success
[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
success

b) prior to LInux 7:

Setup the firewall rules (iptables) and open up the ports for SQL*Net (1521) and for Dbvisit Replicate (7901, 7902).

No Format
vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables

a. Add the following entries.
