Include PageAssign a firewall policy to a VMAssign a firewall policy to a VMAbiquo supports firewall policies that are similar to security groups in private cloud with network managers, and in public cloud providers that support security groups, such as AWS and Azure.

If your provider offers firewall policies, first create them in your virtual datacenters, then assign firewall policies to your VMs.

To assign a firewall from the virtual datacenter to a VM:

1. Go to Virtual datacenters

2. Edit the VM and go to Firewalls

3. In the Firewall policies list, select the firewall

4. Click Save or continue editing the VM as required

Troubleshooting:

• If you cannot assign more firewall policies, check your cloud provider's limit. For example, for AWS, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_SecurityGroups.html#VPCSecurityGroups

• If your provider's default firewall policy does not display, you may need to synchronize your virtual datacenter or firewall policies before you continue

• If an expected firewall policy does not display, for example, a firewall policy that you recently created, you may need to wait for the firewall policy to propagate through the provider's API because of eventual consistency

• You can remove the default firewall when editing a VM. However, if the provider requires a firewall and you do not supply another one, the platform will assign the default firewall again.
