Adding a Security Group Rule¶
Scenarios¶
After a security group is created, you can add rules to the security group. A rule applies either to inbound traffic (ingress) or outbound traffic (egress). After ECSs are added to the security group, they are protected by the rules of that group.
Inbound rules control incoming traffic to ECSs associated with the security group.
Outbound rules control outgoing traffic from ECSs associated with the security group.
Procedure¶
Log in to the management console.
Click
in the upper left corner and select the desired region and project.On the console homepage, under Network, click Virtual Private Cloud.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Access Control > Security Groups.
On the Security Groups page, locate the target security group and click Manage Rule in the Operation column to switch to the page for managing inbound and outbound rules.
On the inbound rule tab, click Add Rule. In the displayed dialog box, set required parameters to add an inbound rule.
You can click + to add more inbound rules.
