Add a Firewall Rule to the recovery SDDC Network

You can add firewall rules that allow or block specific traffic to and from your recovery SDDC network.

You can add firewall rules to allow or deny all connections or specific IP addresses or a range of IP addresses. You can also configure specific services and ports to be allowed or blocked in the rules.

Important: If there is a firewall rule that you are unable to create using the VMware Live Cyber Recovery UI, contact VMware support for assistance.

Note: For information about finding VMware Live Cyber Recovery public IP addresses, see Service IP Addresses.
