Hello again,
I remember I asked this question some time ago, but don't remember if it was fully answered (means not). the iptables is disabled after the installation and the reason is: security. Could someone tell me what wrong with iptables if it is considered as security threat? I like MAC-IP binding in iptables for an example, so I know employees won't screw something up. Am I able to use iptables or not? and what was the threat of using it?
