IPTABLES Fail to save on CentOS 7 box

[Fern.3.P.O]

Support Group,

Need your help, I'm running CentOS 7 with IPTABLES version 1.4.21, when adding new rules to the policy chains and save my entries by entering
#service iptable save and reboot the box. The new entries are nowhere to be found at restart, entries not saved. I've made sure to disable firewalld to not cause any conflict with iptables. Can you help me understand what configurations I'm missing to successfully save my new entries.

You you tell step by step what did you do?

Did you literally type #service iptables save ? If so then the # made it a comment and it would not have done anything. OTOH, maybe you meant to use the # to indicate that you were at a root command prompt at the time, in which case it should have worked.

@TrevorH - I typed in the command without the # I also followed the instruction set on https://www.svennd.be/iptables-in-cento ... l-install/ to disable the firewalld and install iptables services. Can you guys tell me were I'm going wrong please.

It's service iptables save not iptable
