Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

name

Yes

String

  • Specifies the security group name.

  • The value can contain 1 to 64 characters, including letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).

vpc_id

No

String

Specifies the ID of the VPC that the security group is associated with.

Currently, this parameter is not recommended because it is only used as a prompt and does not restrict that the security group must be associated with the VPC.

enterprise_project_id

No

String

  • Specifies the enterprise project ID. When creating a security group, associate the enterprise project ID with the security group.

  • The value is 0 or a string that contains a maximum of 36 characters in UUID format with hyphens (-). Value 0 indicates the default enterprise project.

Table 6 security_group_rule objects

Parameter

Type

Description

id

String

Specifies the security group rule ID, which uniquely identifies the security group rule.

description

String

  • Provides supplementary information about the security group rule.

  • The value can contain no more than 255 characters, including letters and digits.

security_group_id

String

Specifies the security group rule ID, which uniquely identifies the security group rule.

direction

String

  • Specifies the direction of access control.

  • Possible values are as follows:

    • egress

    • ingress

ethertype

String

  • Specifies the IP protocol version.

  • The value can be IPv4 or IPv6.

protocol

String

  • Specifies the protocol type.

  • The value can be icmp, tcp, udp, or an IP protocol number (0 to 255, for example, 47 for GRE)

  • If the parameter is left blank, all protocols are supported.

port_range_min

Integer

  • Specifies the start port number.

  • The value ranges from 1 to 65535.

  • The value cannot be greater than the port_range_max value. An empty value indicates all ports. If the protocol is icmp, the value range is shown in ICMP-Port Range Relationship Table.

port_range_max

Integer

  • Specifies the end port number.

  • The value ranges from 1 to 65535.

  • If the protocol is not icmp, the value cannot be smaller than the port_range_min value. An empty value indicates all ports. If the protocol is icmp, the value range is shown in ICMP-Port Range Relationship Table.

remote_ip_prefix

String

  • Specifies the remote IP address. If the access control direction is set to egress, the parameter specifies the source IP address. If the access control direction is set to ingress, the parameter specifies the destination IP address.

  • The value can be in the CIDR format or IP addresses.

  • The parameter is mutually exclusive with parameter remote_group_id.

remote_group_id

String

  • Specifies the ID of the peer security group.

  • The value is mutually exclusive with parameter remote_ip_prefix.

remote_address_group_id

String

  • Specifies the remote IP address group ID.

  • The value is mutually exclusive with parameters remote_ip_prefix and remote_group_id.

tenant_id

String

  • Specifies the ID of the project to which the security group rule belongs.
