Forward traffic from 80 to 8080

Its very simple to Forwarding traffic from 80 to 8080 using iptables

First make find the entry from ifconfig

 

[root@malta1562 httpdocs]# ifconfig 
em1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr F8:B1:56:AF:77:09 
 inet addr:85.25.211.175 Bcast:85.25.211.191 Mask:255.255.255.192

 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
 RX bytes:74317559 (70.8 MiB) TX bytes:74317559 (70.8 MiB)

 

Here its em1 so add the entry

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i em1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

Now traffic to 80 will be forwarded to 8080
