iptables: how to delete postrouting rule? [closed]

Question

I would like to delete POSTROUTING rule below,

[root@hostname ~]# service iptables status Table: nat Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) num  target     prot opt source               destination           Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) num  target     prot opt source               destination          1    MASQUERADE  all  --  192.168.1.0/24       0.0.0.0/0             Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) num  target     prot opt source               destination          

then I typed below,

[root@hostname ~]# iptables -D POSTROUTING 1 iptables: No chain/target/match by that name 

Is there anything wrong?

Answer 1

Try adding the table name explicitly:

iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING 1
