 <h3>Firewall Configuration</h3>
 <p>
-LON-CAPA uses the traditional iptables package instead of the recent Firewalld, included for the
-first time with CentOS 7.  Accordingly, you should install iptables-services, disable firewalld,
-and enable iptables.
+Starting with LON-CAPA 2.11.3 you have the option of using either firewalld or iptables to
+manage the Firewall on your CentOS 7 server/VM, as both are compatible with LON-CAPA's
+port management.</p>
+<p>Enable access to standard web server ports (i.e., http and https) as follows, if
+using firewalld::</p>
+<pre>
+systemctl enable firewalld
+systemctl start firewalld
+firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-service=http
+firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-service=https
+firewall-cmd --reload
+</pre>
+<p>If you prefer to use the traditional iptables package instead of the default firewalld,
+you will need to install iptables-services, disable firewalld, enable iptables, and then
+use the system-config-firewall-tui tool to configure the Firewall.
