Security Firewall Rule

Firewall rules allow you to permit or deny connections to or from a virtual machine (vm) based on the configuration you specify. When you create a firewall rule, you define a set of components that determine what the rule does. Components allow you to target specific traffic types, based on traffic protocols, destination ports, sources, and destinations.
