Configure network firewall rules

Configure network traffic rules to allow inbound and outbound connections with other networks.

About this task

CAUTION:

When configuring network firewall rules, do not allow IP addresses that belong to the 172.24.0.192/26 subnet. IP addresses in the 172.24.0.192–172.24.0.255 range are used for Docker network configuration, and unexpected results can occur if they are also used by PowerProtect Data Manager.

The following example describes the procedure to allow inbound TCP traffic on a particular port.

NOTE:GCP uses the terms ingress and egress for inbound and outbound traffic.

Steps

  1. From the Google Cloud Console, navigate to VPC network > Firewall, and click CREATE FIREWALL RULE.
  2. Under Direction of traffic, select Ingress.
  3. Under Action on match, select Allow.
  4. Under Targets select Specified target tags.
  5. Under Target tags, enter the name of the network firewall rule.
  6. Under Source IP ranges, enter the subnet of the allowed inbound traffic..
  7. Under Protocols and ports, select Specified protocols and ports, select tcp, and enter the IP address to allow.
  8. Navigate to Compute Engine > VM Instances, select the PowerProtect Data Manager instance, and click EDIT.
  9. Under Network tags, add the network firewall rule you created in step 5.
