Change the sequence of rules in a classic firewall

In vCloud Director, when traffic arrives at the firewall, the Edge will attempt to match the rules from rule 0 to the end of the list of rules. The Edge will use the last rule (with the highest sequence number) as the default rule. The default rule must cover all ports from any source or destination and you cannot move an invalid rule into the last position.

The platform will maintain the rules in order with no gaps.

To change the order of rules, click the pencil edit button beside a Sequence number, then enter a new Sequence number and click ok. The platform will move the other rules to fit around the changed rule.

For example, to move a rule from position 1 to position 2, enter 2 and click "ok".

The platform will now move the rule that was in position 2 to position 1.
