By default, the Compute Gateway blocks traffic to all uplinks. Add Compute Gateway firewall rules to allow traffic as needed.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the VMware Cloud Services Console at https://console.cloud.vmware.com/csp/gateway/discovery.
  2. Click the VMware Cloud on Dell EMC service.
  3. Click the required SDDC name.
  4. Click Network > Network & Security > Gateway Firewall.
  5. On the GATEWAY FIREWALL card, click Compute Gateway.
  6. To add a rule, click ADD RULE and give the new rule a Name.
  7. Enter the parameters for the new rule.
    Parameters are initialized to their default values (for example, All for Sources and Destinations). To edit a parameter, move the mouse pointer over the parameter value and click the pencil icon ( ) to open a parameter-specific editor.
  8. Create two firewall rules, one for managing the connection server inbound rule and another for managing the load balancer inbound rule.
    For example, create the firewall rules, Connection Server Inbound and Load Balancer Inbound, and provide the details as captured in the following table.
    Name Sources Destinations Applied To
    Connection Server Inbound Jumpshot Connection Servers All Uplinks
    Load Balancer Inbound VDI-User-Desktop Load Balancer VIP All Uplinks
  9. Click PUBLISH to create the rule.

    The system gives the new rule an integer ID value, which is used in log entries generated by the rule.
