Method Detail

set

void set(java.util.List<InboundTypes.Rule> rules)

Set the ordered list of firewall rules to allow or deny traffic from one or more incoming IP addresses. This overwrites the existing firewall rules and creates a new rule list. Within the list of traffic rules, rules are processed in order of appearance, from top to bottom. For example, the list of rules can be as follows:

Address	Prefix	Interface Name	Policy
10.112.0.1	0	*	REJECT
10.112.0.1	0	nic0	ACCEPT

In the above example, the first rule drops all packets originating from 10.112.0.1 and
the second rule accepts all packets originating from 10.112.0.1 only on nic0. In effect, the second rule is always ignored which is not desired, hence the order has to be swapped. When a connection matches a firewall rule, further processing for the connection stops, and the appliance ignores any additional firewall rules you have set. This method was added in vSphere API 6.7.1.

Synchronous method overload. Result of the invocation will be reported as a method return value.

Parameters:

rules - List of address-based firewall rules.

Throws:

Error - Generic error

set

void set(java.util.List<InboundTypes.Rule> rules,
         InvocationConfig invocationConfig)

Set the ordered list of firewall rules to allow or deny traffic from one or more incoming IP addresses. This overwrites the existing firewall rules and creates a new rule list. Within the list of traffic rules, rules are processed in order of appearance, from top to bottom. For example, the list of rules can be as follows:

When a connection matches a firewall rule, further processing for the connection stops, and the appliance ignores any additional firewall rules you have set. This method was added in vSphere API 6.7.1.

Synchronous method overload. Result of the invocation will be reported as a method return value. Use invocationConfig to specify configuration for this particular invocation.

Parameters:

rules - List of address-based firewall rules.

invocationConfig - Configuration for the method invocation.

Throws:

Error - Generic error

set

void set(java.util.List<InboundTypes.Rule> rules,
         AsyncCallback<java.lang.Void> asyncCallback)

Set the ordered list of firewall rules to allow or deny traffic from one or more incoming IP addresses. This overwrites the existing firewall rules and creates a new rule list. Within the list of traffic rules, rules are processed in order of appearance, from top to bottom. For example, the list of rules can be as follows:

When a connection matches a firewall rule, further processing for the connection stops, and the appliance ignores any additional firewall rules you have set. This method was added in vSphere API 6.7.1.

Asynchronous method overload. Result of the invocation will be reported via the specified asyncCallback.

Operation Errors:
Error - Generic error

Parameters:

rules - List of address-based firewall rules.

asyncCallback - Receives the status (progress, result or error) of the operation invocation.
