How can i flush iptables??

I want to restore iptables to state which is same as newly installed Linux contains.I added and then deleted a lot of rules and want to restore them to their default state.

depends on the distribution. On RH based (I think)

Code:

service iptables restart

usually it is achived this way

Code:

iptables -F

iptables -P INPUT ALLOW

iptables -P OUTPUT ALLOW

iptables -P FORWARD ALLOW

But be warned ... this practically removes any filtering you may have and sets all policies to accept. No filtering no closed ports no Masq no nothing
