Adding iptables rules after implementing fail2ban

I recently implemented fail2ban on a fresh debian server which left me with some default iptables configuration automatically,

root@plutarchy:/etc/apache2# iptables -S
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
-N fail2ban-ssh
-A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports 2222 -j fail2ban-ssh
-A fail2ban-ssh -j RETURN

Now, when I add some old iptables rules that I don’t want to run through fail2ban, I end up with the following,

-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
-N fail2ban-ssh
-A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports 2222 -j fail2ban-ssh
-A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1/32 -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2222 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -j DROP
-A fail2ban-ssh -j RETURN

Note that I need to add the line -A INPUT -p tcp –dport 2222 -j ACCEPT or I cannot ssh into the box.

Will fail2ban still protect ssh (port 2222) when I have this line inserted? If not, how can I make sure ssh still goes through fail2ban while I have port 80 opened for normal operation?
