Firewalld - allowing ICMP in custom zone (centos 7 / redhat 7)
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I want to enable ICMP echo-reply in a zone defined by source.
I have a zone MONITORING where I want to permit some services like mysql and echo-reply. Permiting services like mysql is simple, but I can't figure out how to enable echo-reply without using direct rules. Is it possible?
Main interface uses BLOCK zone, so packets are rejected with icmp-host-prohibited, when they don't fall to zone MONITORING.
Thanks

Just to help those who have the same problem, I use the following command:
firewall-cmd --permanent --direct --add-rule ipv4 filter INPUT 0 -p icmp -s X.X.X.X -j ACCEPT
it adds a rule that permits ICMP protocol if the source is X.X.X.X

Add --icmp-type 8 to only enable ICMP echo-reply.
The full command would be:
firewall-cmd --permanent --direct --add-rule ipv4 filter INPUT 0 -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 8 -s X.X.X.X -j ACCEPT

You can do that by allowing ICMP echo-reply in the MONITORING zone:
firewall-cmd --zone MONITORING --add-icmp-block echo-reply
firewall-cmd --zone MONITORING --add-icmp-block-inversion
That will work even if the main interface uses a zone rejecting ICMP packets as packets are matched by zones based on sources before zones based on interface. You can see that by looking at the INPUT iptables chain:
# iptables -nL INPUT
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
INPUT_direct all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
INPUT_ZONES_SOURCE all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
INPUT_ZONES all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
DROP all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 ctstate INVALID
REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

An echo-reply ICMP packet is always a response to an echo-request ICMP packet. I just learned that echo-reply packets are considered as ESTABLISHED by iptables backend and are thus always allowed by firewalld. I think your problem is that you want to allow echo-request packets instead of echo-reply packets. If I am correct I will update my answer.
