Inbound.Rule class Structure that defines a single address-based firewall rule. This class was added in vSphere API 6.7.1.

Tip

The arguments are used to initialize data attributes with the same names.

Parameters

address (str) – IPv4 or IPv6 address. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.1.
prefix (long) – CIDR prefix used to mask address. For example, an IPv4 prefix of 24 ignores the low-order 8 bits of address. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.1.
policy (Inbound.Policy) – The allow or deny policy of this rule. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.1.
interface_name (str or None) – The interface to which this rule applies. An empty string indicates that the rule applies to all interfaces. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.1.

get()¶

Get the ordered list of firewall rules. Within the list of traffic rules, rules are processed in order of appearance, from top to bottom. 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.

Return type: list of Inbound.Rule
Returns: List of address-based firewall rules.
Raise: com.vmware.vapi.std.errors_client.Error Generic error

set(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.

Parameters: rules (list of Inbound.Rule) – List of address-based firewall rules.
