IPSET not loading configuration

lazydog · 07-03-2019, 07:38 AM

Hello one and all,

I'm having an issue I cannot seem to figure out. IPSET doesn't load the configured tables when started. I can add them manually but on next reboot the tables are blank once again.

Anyone have this issue and get it working?

CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)
ipset v6.38, protocol version: 6

IPSET was installed using YUM.

Ipset does not itself persist its set data (not to be confused with iptables "tables").

I do not know whether CentOS itself provides the means of persisting that data, but it must be scripted somewhere to work.

You can easily script the set initialization to read data from a file, or to save the previous state using the save and restore commands. But again, it is not done automatically by ipset itself.
