- DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute network-firewall-policies rules updateis used toupdate network firewall policy rules.- EXAMPLES
- To update a rule with priority
in aglobal network firewall policy with name10to change the action tomy-policyand description toallow, run:new example rulegcloudcomputenetwork-firewall-policiesrulesupdate10--firewall-policy=my-policy--action=allow--description="new example rule" - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
PRIORITY- Priority of the rule to be updated. Valid in [0, 2147483547].
- REQUIRED FLAGS
--firewall-policy=FIREWALL_POLICY- Firewall policy ID with which to update rule.
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
--action=ACTION- Action to take if the request matches the match condition.
ACTIONmust be one of:allow,deny,goto_next,apply_security_profile_group. --description=DESCRIPTION- An optional, textual description for the rule.
--dest-address-groups=[DEST_ADDRESS_GROUPS,…]- Destination address groups to match for this rule. Can only be specified ifDIRECTION is engress.
--dest-fqdns=[DEST_FQDNS,…]- Destination FQDNs to match for this rule. Can only be specified if DIRECTION is
egress. --dest-ip-ranges=[DEST_IP_RANGE,…]- Destination IP ranges to match for this rule.
--dest-network-context=DEST_NETWORK_CONTEXT- Use this flag to indicate that the rule should match internet or non-internettraffic. It applies to destination traffic for egress rules. Valid values areINTERNET and NON_INTERNET. Use empty string to clear the field.
--dest-region-codes=[DEST_REGION_CODES,…]- Destination Region Code to match for this rule. Can only be specified ifDIRECTION is
egress. --dest-threat-intelligence=[DEST_THREAT_INTELLIGENCE_LISTS,…]- Destination Threat Intelligence lists to match for this rule. Can only bespecified if DIRECTION is
egress. The available lists can be foundhere:https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/firewall-policies-rule-details#threat-intelligence-fw-policy. --direction=DIRECTION- Direction of the traffic the rule is applied. The default is to apply onincoming traffic.
DIRECTIONmust be one of:INGRESS,EGRESS. --[no-]disabled- Use this flag to disable the rule. Disabled rules will not affect traffic. Use
--disabledto enable and--no-disabledto disable. --[no-]enable-logging- Use this flag to enable logging of connections that allowed or denied by thisrule. Use
--enable-loggingto enable and--no-enable-loggingto disable. --layer4-configs=[LAYER4_CONFIG,…]- A list of destination protocols and ports to which the firewall rule will apply.
--new-priority=NEW_PRIORITY- New priority for the rule to update. Valid in [0, 65535].
--security-profile-group=SECURITY_PROFILE_GROUP- A security profile group to be used with apply_security_profile_group action.
--src-address-groups=[SOURCE_ADDRESS_GROUPS,…]- Source address groups to match for this rule. Can only be specified if DIRECTIONis ingress.
--src-fqdns=[SOURCE_FQDNS,…]- Source FQDNs to match for this rule. Can only be specified if DIRECTION is
ingress. --src-ip-ranges=[SRC_IP_RANGE,…]- A list of IP address blocks that are allowed to make inbound connections thatmatch the firewall rule to the instances on the network. The IP address blocksmust be specified in CIDR format:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing.Either--src-ip-ranges or --src-secure-tags must be specified for INGRESS traffic. Ifboth --src-ip-ranges and --src-secure-tags are specified, the rule matches ifeither the range of the source matches --src-ip-ranges or the secure tag of thesource matches --src-secure-tags.Multiple IP address blocks can be specified ifthey are separated by commas.
--src-network-context=SRC_NETWORK_CONTEXT- Use this flag to indicate that the rule should match internet, non-internettraffic or traffic coming from the network specified by --src-networks. Itapplies to ingress rules. Valid values are INTERNET, NON_INTERNET, VPC_NETWORKSand INTRA_VPC. Use empty string to clear the field.
--src-networks=[SRC_NETWORKS,…]- The source VPC networks to match for this rule. It can only be specified when--src-network-type is VPC_NETWORKS. It applies to ingress rules. It accepts fullor partial URLs.
--src-region-codes=[SOURCE_REGION_CODES,…]- Source Region Code to match for this rule. Can only be specified if DIRECTION is
ingress. --src-secure-tags=[SOURCE_SECURE_TAGS,…]- A list of instance secure tags indicating the set of instances on the network towhich the rule applies if all other fields match. Either --src-ip-ranges or--src-secure-tags must be specified for ingress traffic. If both --src-ip-rangesand --src-secure-tags are specified, an inbound connection is allowed if eitherthe range of the source matches --src-ip-ranges or the tag of the source matches--src-secure-tags. Secure Tags can be assigned to instances during instancecreation.
--src-threat-intelligence=[SOURCE_THREAT_INTELLIGENCE_LISTS,…]- Source Threat Intelligence lists to match for this rule. Can only be specifiedif DIRECTION is
ingress. The available lists can be found here:https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/firewall-policies-rule-details#threat-intelligence-fw-policy. --target-secure-tags=[TARGET_SECURE_TAGS,…]- An optional, list of target secure tags with a name of the format tagValues/ orfull namespaced name
--target-service-accounts=[TARGET_SERVICE_ACCOUNTS,…]- List of target service accounts for the rule.
--[no-]tls-inspect- Use this flag to indicate whether TLS traffic should be inspected using the TLSinspection policy when the security profile group is applied. Default: no TLSinspection. Use
--tls-inspectto enable and--no-tls-inspectto disable. - At most one of these can be specified:
--firewall-policy-region=FIREWALL_POLICY_REGION- Region of the firewall policy to operate on. Overrides the default
compute/regionproperty value for this command invocation. --global-firewall-policy- If set, the firewall policy is global.
