Add Management Gateway Firewall Rules

Maintaining the safety and security of your SDDC management infrastructure is critical. By default, the management gateway blocks traffic to all management network destinations from all sources. You must add management gateway firewall rules to allow secure traffic from trusted sources.
  1. Log in to the VMware Cloud Services Console at https://console.cloud.vmware.com/csp/gateway/discovery.
  2. Launch the
    VMware Cloud on Dell
     service.
  3. Click the required SDDC name.
  5. Click
    Security
    Gateway Firewall
    .
  6. On the
    Gateway Firewall
     card, click
    Management Gateway
  7. To add a rule, click
    ADD RULE
     and give the new rule a
    Name
    .
  8. Enter the parameters for the new rule.
    To edit a parameter, move the mouse pointer over the parameter value and click the pencil icon () to open a parameter-specific editor.
  9. Create a firewall rule for managing the Citrix Delivery Controller inbound traffic.
    For example, create the firewall rule for vCenter Inbound, and provide the details as captured in the following table to enable access from Citrix Desktop Deliver Controllers to SDDC vCenter.
    Name
    Source
    Destination
    Applied To
    vCenter Inbound
    Citrix Delivery Controller
    vCenter
    All Uplinks
    The new rule is enabled by default.
  10. Click
    PUBLISH
     to create the rule.
    The system gives the new rule an integer
    ID
     value, which is used in log entries generated by the rule.
    Firewall rules are applied in order from top to bottom. Because there is a default
    Drop
     rule at the bottom and the rules above are always
    Allow
     rules, management gateway firewall rule order has no impact on traffic flow.
