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.

Launch the

VMware Cloud on Dell

service.

Click the required SDDC name.

Click

Network

Network & Security

Gateway Firewall

On the

GATEWAY FIREWALL

card, click

Compute Gateway

To add a rule, click

ADD RULE

and give the new rule a

Name

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.

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

Click

PUBLISH

to create the rule.

The system gives the new rule an integer

value, which is used in log entries generated by the rule.
