I’m taking Red Hat Satellite 6 exam next week and rather than trying to memorize everything I’m trying to find documentation/man pages that are installed on the server itself.
What I’m looking for specifically is firewall rule exceptions for Satellite and Capsule servers in a man page/info page or /usr/local/share/doc directory.
So far, I’ve had zero luck. Since the Red Hat exams have no internet access, what are my options for documentation?
I can get satellite/foreman installed just fine, but I know I’m going to be stressed out on test day and I’ll need LOCAL references.
Can anyone assist on where/how I can get the documentation installed locally?
RHEL 7.1 introduced the RH-Satellite-6 service in firewalld. That’s probably the easiest way.
Unfortunately, that shortcut (–add-service) doesn’t include tftp, dhcp, dns or bootp as part of the service – which is critical for the functionality of Satellite/Foreman if doing provisioning.
In addition, Capsule Server requires a few others that aren’t documented outside of an Internet URL.
Thanks, Brian
Often getent services (which reads services from all sources, including /etc/services) can be useful. Though some services aren’t named as you’d expect them. For example dns is domain. That’s why I’d advise piping it to less.
Another strategy can be to use netstat or its modern version ss to see what’s listening.
