# Issue an iptables command to verify that both the the iptables rules have no rules for those chains for your '''c7host''' and '''centos1''' VM's
# On your '''c7host''' VM, issue add (append) an iptables command to set the default firewall <u>'''policy'''</u> rule to '''REJECT''' <u>incoming</u> requests to http ( via TCP, port:80) by issuing the command:<br><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">iptables -P A INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 REJECT</span></code></b>
# NOTE: '''c7host''': if '''http://localhost''' stops working locally, add the following iptables rule to centos1, as root <br /><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">iptables -I INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT</span></code></b>
# On '''centos1''' confirm that the httpd service is stopped so it cannot interfere with your observations.
