 IP Forwarding and Firewalling
 -----------------------------

 By default, all incoming traffic to the public IP address is rejected.
 All outgoing traffic from the guests is also blocked by default.

 To allow outgoing traffic, follow the procedure in :ref:`egress-fw-rules`.

 To allow incoming traffic, users may set up firewall rules and/or port
 forwarding rules. For example, you can use a firewall rule to open a
 range of ports on the public IP address, such as 33 through 44. Then use
 port forwarding rules to direct traffic from individual ports within
 that range to specific ports on user VMs. For example, one port
 forwarding rule could route incoming traffic on the public IP's port 33
 to port 100 on one user VM's private IP.


 Firewall Rules
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 By default, all incoming traffic to the public IP address is rejected by
 the firewall. To allow external traffic, you can open firewall ports by
 specifying firewall rules. You can optionally specify one or more CIDRs
 to filter the source IPs. This is useful when you want to allow only
 incoming requests from certain IP addresses.

 You cannot use firewall rules to open ports for an elastic IP address.
 When elastic IP is used, outside access is instead controlled through
 the use of security groups. See `"Adding a Security
 Group" <#adding-a-security-group>`_.

 In an advanced zone, you can also create egress firewall rules by using
 the virtual router. For more information, see ":ref:`egress-fw-rules`".

 Firewall rules can be created using the Firewall tab in the Management
 Server UI. This tab is not displayed by default when CloudStack is
 installed. To display the Firewall tab, the CloudStack administrator
 must set the global configuration parameter firewall.rule.ui.enabled to
 "true."

 To create a firewall rule:

 #. Log in to the CloudStack UI as an administrator or end user.

 #. In the left navigation, choose Network.

 #. Click the name of the network where you want to work with.

 #. Click View IP Addresses.

 #. Click the IP address you want to work with.

 #. Click the Configuration tab and fill in the following values.

    -  **Source CIDR**: (Optional) To accept only traffic from IP
       addresses within a particular address block, enter a CIDR or a
       comma-separated list of CIDRs. Example: 192.168.0.0/22. Leave
       empty to allow all CIDRs.

    -  **Protocol**: The communication protocol in use on the opened
       port(s).

    -  **Start Port and End Port**: The port(s) you want to open on the
       firewall. If you are opening a single port, use the same number in
       both fields

    -  **ICMP Type and ICMP Code**: Used only if Protocol is set to ICMP.
       Provide the type and code required by the ICMP protocol to fill
       out the ICMP header. Refer to ICMP documentation for more details
       if you are not sure what to enter

 #. Click Add.

 Egress Firewall Rules in an Advanced Zone
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The egress traffic originates from a private network to a public
 network, such as the Internet. By default, the egress traffic is blocked
 in default network offerings, so no outgoing traffic is allowed from a
 guest network to the Internet. However, you can control the egress
 traffic in an Advanced zone by creating egress firewall rules. When an
 egress firewall rule is applied, the traffic specific to the rule is
 allowed and the remaining traffic is blocked. When all the firewall
 rules are removed the default policy, Block, is applied.


 Prerequisites and Guidelines
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 Consider the following scenarios to apply egress firewall rules:

 -  Egress firewall rules are supported on Juniper SRX and virtual
    router.

 -  The egress firewall rules are not supported on shared networks.

 -  Allow the egress traffic from specified source CIDR. The Source CIDR
    is part of guest network CIDR.

 -  Allow the egress traffic with protocol TCP,UDP,ICMP, or ALL.

 -  Allow the egress traffic with protocol and destination port range.
    The port range is specified for TCP, UDP or for ICMP type and code.

 -  The default policy is Allow for the new network offerings, whereas on
    upgrade existing network offerings with firewall service providers
    will have the default egress policy Deny.


 Configuring an Egress Firewall Rule
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 #. Log in to the CloudStack UI as an administrator or end user.

 #. In the left navigation, choose Network.

 #. In Select view, choose Guest networks, then click the Guest network
    you want.

 #. To add an egress rule, click the Egress rules tab and fill out the
    following fields to specify what type of traffic is allowed to be
    sent out of VM instances in this guest network:

    |egress-firewall-rule.png|

    -  **CIDR**: (Add by CIDR only) To send traffic only to the IP
       addresses within a particular address block, enter a CIDR or a
       comma-separated list of CIDRs. The CIDR is the base IP address of
       the destination. For example, 192.168.0.0/22. To allow all CIDRs,
       set to 0.0.0.0/0.

    -  **Protocol**: The networking protocol that VMs uses to send
       outgoing traffic. The TCP and UDP protocols are typically used for
       data exchange and end-user communications. The ICMP protocol is
       typically used to send error messages or network monitoring data.

    -  **Start Port, End Port**: (TCP, UDP only) A range of listening
       ports that are the destination for the outgoing traffic. If you
       are opening a single port, use the same number in both fields.

    -  **ICMP Type, ICMP Code**: (ICMP only) The type of message and
       error code that are sent.

 #. Click Add.


 Configuring the Default Egress Policy
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 The default egress policy for Isolated guest network is configured by
 using Network offering. Use the create network offering option to
 determine whether the default policy should be block or allow all the
 traffic to the public network from a guest network. Use this network
 offering to create the network. If no policy is specified, by default
 all the traffic is allowed from the guest network that you create by
 using this network offering.

 You have two options: Allow and Deny.

 Allow
 '''''

 If you select Allow for a network offering, by default egress traffic is
 allowed. However, when an egress rule is configured for a guest network,
 rules are applied to block the specified traffic and rest are allowed.
 If no egress rules are configured for the network, egress traffic is
 accepted.

 Deny
 ''''

 If you select Deny for a network offering, by default egress traffic for
 the guest network is blocked. However, when an egress rules is
 configured for a guest network, rules are applied to allow the specified
 traffic. While implementing a guest network, CloudStack adds the
 firewall egress rule specific to the default egress policy for the guest
 network.

 This feature is supported only on virtual router and Juniper SRX.

 #. Create a network offering with your desirable default egress policy:

    #. Log in with admin privileges to the CloudStack UI.

    #. In the left navigation bar, click Service Offerings.

    #. In Select Offering, choose Network Offering.

    #. Click Add Network Offering.

    #. In the dialog, make necessary choices, including firewall
       provider.

    #. In the Default egress policy field, specify the behaviour.

    #. Click OK.

 #. Create an isolated network by using this network offering.

    Based on your selection, the network will have the egress public
    traffic blocked or allowed.


 Port Forwarding
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 A port forward service is a set of port forwarding rules that define a
 policy. A port forward service is then applied to one or more guest VMs.
 The guest VM then has its inbound network access managed according to
 the policy defined by the port forwarding service. You can optionally
 specify one or more CIDRs to filter the source IPs. This is useful when
 you want to allow only incoming requests from certain IP addresses to be
 forwarded.

 A guest VM can be in any number of port forward services. Port forward
 services can be defined but have no members. If a guest VM is part of
 more than one network, port forwarding rules will function only if they
 are defined on the default network

 You cannot use port forwarding to open ports for an elastic IP address.
 When elastic IP is used, outside access is instead controlled through
 the use of security groups. See Security Groups.

 To set up port forwarding:

 #. Log in to the CloudStack UI as an administrator or end user.

 #. If you have not already done so, add a public IP address range to a
    zone in CloudStack. See Adding a Zone and Pod in the Installation
    Guide.

 #. Add one or more VM instances to CloudStack.

 #. In the left navigation bar, click Network.

 #. Click the name of the guest network where the VMs are running.

 #. Choose an existing IP address or acquire a new IP address. See
    `"Acquiring a New IP Address" <#acquiring-a-new-ip-address>`_.
    Click the name of the IP address in the list.

 #. Click the Configuration tab.

 #. In the Port Forwarding node of the diagram, click View All.

 #. Fill in the following:

    -  **Public Port**: The port to which public traffic will be
       addressed on the IP address you acquired in the previous step.

    -  **Private Port**: The port on which the instance is listening for
       forwarded public traffic.

    -  **Protocol**: The communication protocol in use between the two
       ports

 #. Click Add.
