Delete All DNAT Rules
Example 5-22. Delete All DNAT Rules on a vShield Edge
Request:
DELETE <vshield_manager-uri>/api/1.0/network/<portgroup-moid>/dnat/rules

Configuring the vShield Edge Firewall
The vShield Edge provides firewall protection for incoming and outgoing sessions. The default firewall policy
allows all traffic to pass. In addition to the default firewall policy, you can configure a set of rules to allow or
deny traffic sessions to and from specific sources and destinations. You manage the default firewall policy and
firewall rule set separately for each vShield Edge agent.
All firewall rules for a vShield Edge configured by using REST requests appear under the vShield Edge >
Firewall tab for the appropriate vShield Edge in the vShield Manager user interface and vSphere Client plug‐in.
For the vShield Edge firewall schema, see "vShield Edge Firewall Schema" on page 77.
Get the Firewall Rule Set for a vShield Edge
Example 5-23. Get the Entire Firewall Rule Set on a vShield Edge
Request:
GET <vShield_Manager-uri>/api/1.0/network/<portgroup-moid>/firewall/rules
Example:
GET /api/1.0/network/network-244/firewall/rules HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46ZGVmYXVsdA==
Host: 10.112.196.213
Post a Firewall Rule Set
You add all firewall rules as a set for each vShield Edge. The vShield Manager processes the posted XML file
as a complete rule set for the specified vShield Edge. The new rule set replaces the entire previous rule set.
I
You must include rules from the current rule set in the new rule set to maintain those rules. Any
MPORTANT
rules not included in the new rule set are deleted. Since you cannot delete the default rules, you must include
the default rules in every rule set. You can change the action of any of the default rules.
Example 5-24. Post the Firewall Rule Set on a vShield Edge
Request:
POST <vShield_Manager-uri>/api/1.0/network/<portgroup-moid>/firewall/rules
<VShieldEdgeConfig>
<FirewallConfig>
<FirewallRule>
<protocol>tcp|udp|icmp|any</protocol>
<sourceIpAddress>see_below</sourceIpAddress>
<sourcePort>see_below</sourcePort>
<destinationIpAddress>see_below</destinationIpAddress>
