iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

[chemcat9]

I'm trying to add two ip addresses to my iptables using the instructions found on the didforsale website:

1. SSH to your PBX
2. Run the following commands:
iptables -A INPUT -s 209.216.15.70 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s 209.216.2.211 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A WHITELIST -s 209.216.15.70 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A WHITELIST -s 209.216.2.211 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
service iptables restart

​

... but get the message "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name" when I enter the command "iptables -A WHITELIST -s 209.216.15.70 -j ACCEPT" ... is this of concern? ... did my enteries register with iptables? ... and how can I tell?

Thanks!

Do you have a CHAIN for 'WHITELIST' ? Incredible PBX or are you just using the PBXinaFlash ?

If not you need to use -I [input] and then -A [append].

Maybe do a ist and see what's there
iptables -L
iptables -L INPUT
iptables -L WHITELIST

I goofed ... you are most correct in an observation. Some times two heads aren't better than one, a friend and I just set this up - he thought I ran the incredible script ... and I thought he did. Turns out neither of us did. It's the little things that get ya.

Problem solved.

Thanks!
