Have firewall ports been opened for RPCBIND and whatever else is needed?

How to open ports for the NIS and NFS in iptables?
I have followed the below to link configure for the NIS configurattion now.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNISHowTo
But I was not able to open the ports I have given in the website
I have also installed the iptables-persistent in the ubuntu server but the default path to edit rules was not able to identify.
When I use the rules for the port I have opened means the error coming here is
Bad Argument"IP" -

Same way as the other times you opened ports in iptables. Just change the port numbers. For now, while you are trying to figure things out, just turn iptables off.

Bad Argument"IP"Instead of describing the issue in cases like this, supply the screen shot or a copy/paste of the commands that fail and the error. In almost all cases it's just a typo or missed argument. In every case we will ask you to do this. So instead of making us ask, just start by providing the information so we can assist more quickly.

Configured Properly and now it is working
-
What was wrong?
-
I have not mentioned the server at /etc/hosts and ypbind does not happen because of this option the whole setup has issue.
-
I am guessing that you do not have all of your servers listed in DNS and that might be causing the problem requiring /etc/hosts to have an entry?
-
You can use IP addresses in your configuration files too, instead of hostnames if you are lacking DNS.

OK.
