Add Compute Gateway Firewall Rules

By default, the Compute Gateway blocks traffic to all uplinks. Add Compute Gateway firewall rules to allow traffic as needed.
  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.
  4. Click
    Network
    Network & Security
    Gateway Firewall
    .
  5. On the
    GATEWAY FIREWALL
    card, click
    Compute Gateway
    .
  6. To add a rule, click
    ADD RULE
    and give the new rule a
    Name
    .
  7. Enter the parameters for the new rule.
    Parameters are initialized to their default values (for example,
    All
    for
    Sources
    and
    Destinations
    ). To edit a parameter, move the mouse pointer over the parameter value and click the pencil icon () to open a parameter-specific editor.
  8. Create two firewall rules, one for managing the connection server inbound rule and another for managing the load balancer inbound rule.
    For example, create the firewall rules, Connection Server Inbound and Load Balancer Inbound, and provide the details as captured in the following table.
    Name
    Sources
    Destinations
    Applied To
    Connection Server Inbound
    Jumpshot
    Connection Servers
    All Uplinks
    Load Balancer Inbound
    VDI-User-Desktop
    Load Balancer VIP
    All Uplinks
  9. 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.
