Adding Firewall rules on a public IP address in a VPC
959+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
960+
961+
In a VPC, once the public IP address is acquired, you can create firewall rules
962+
for the public IP address. Firewall rules are created to allow traffic from
963+
specified source CIDRs to a tier through the selected public IP address. For
964+
example, you can create a firewall rule to allow SSH or HTTP traffic to the Web
965+
tier.
966+
967+
Firewall rule management in a VPC depends on the Firewall service capability
968+
configured in the VPC offering. When creating the VPC, use a VPC offering that
969+
includes the Firewall service with VpcVirtualRouter as its provider.
970+
971+
Steps to add a firewall rule on a public IP address in a VPC are as follows:
972+
973+
#. Log in to the CloudStack UI.
974+
#. In the left navigation, choose Network.
975+
#. In the Select view, select VPC.
976+
#. Enter Public IP addresses section and click on the
977+
Public IP Address to which you want to add firewall rules.
978+
#. Click the Firewall Rules tab, which will appear only if the public IP address is associated with a tier.
979+
#. Click Add Firewall Rule and specify the following:
980+
981+
- *Source CIDR* - The CIDR that defines the source of the traffic.
982+
983+
- *Protocol* - The protocol that defines the type of traffic.
984+
985+
- *Start Port* and *End Port* - The port range that defines the destination of the traffic.
986+
If you are opening a single port, use the same number in both fields.
