The -t option cannot be used in iptables-restore

Question

I got this error when I want to restore my iptables rules from a file.

iptables-restore v1.4.21: The -t option (seen in line 5) cannot be used in iptables-restore.

Error occurred at line: 5
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.

There are my iptables:

*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
-A FORWARD -i eth0 -o lxcbr0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i lxcbr0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
COMMIT

I cannot do this without the -t option.

Answer 1

I solved this:

*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [1:76]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
-A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
COMMIT
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [95:5492]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [48:3648]
-A FORWARD -i eth0 -o lxcbr0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i lxcbr0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
COMMIT
