 So, the structure is: 

 iptables -> Tables -> Chains -> Rules.

IPTABLES 

• Tables
• Chains
• Rules

sudo yum install iptables-services
Once installed, start and enable the service.

sudo systemctl start iptables
sudo systemctl enable iptables
Afterwards, you can simply save the current rules using the following command.

sudo service iptables save

/etc/sysconfig/iptables

[ec2-user@ip-10-79-197-70 sysconfig]$ sudo ls | grep ip
