Fedora 16 - Iptables installed, but no iptables service available

Question

I'm trying to open ports on my fedora OS.

In the past, this was as easy as adding an rule like

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

I went to restart my iptables service and there is none. I went to install iptables and yum says it's installed and up to date (version 1.4.x)

How do I get the service?

EDIT: The answer is below, but I also wanted to let people know, if you're having trouble adding the rule to the /etc/sysconfig/iptables config... I would recommend using the $> system-config-firewall command to bring up a gui port editor that appears to work with the command below to restart the ipstables service via systemctl

In Fedora 16, the approach to restart service has taken a giant (flighted) leap from SysV init script style to systemd approach.

To stop, disable, enable, start iptables service via systemctl command.

[root@fedora ~]# systemctl stop iptables.service 
[root@fedora ~]# systemctl stop ip6tables.service 
[root@fedora ~]# systemctl disable iptables.service 
rm '/etc/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/iptables.service'
[root@fedora ~]# systemctl disable ip6tables.service 
rm '/etc/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/ip6tables.service'

After configuring iptables rules, save them to some file like:

[root@fedora ~]# iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
