Edit a Security Group Rule

Use this procedure to edit an access control rule for an AWS VPC using Security Cloud Control:

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Security Devices.

Step 2

Click the Devices tab to locate the device, or click the Templates tab to locate the model device.

Step 3

Click the AWS tab and select the AWS VPC whose access control policy you want to edit.

Step 4

In the Management pane, select Policy.

Step 5

To edit an existing security group rule, select the rule and click the edit icon Edit icon. in the Actions pane. You can also make simple edits inline without entering edit mode. For more information about rule limitations and exceptions, refer to AWS VPC Security Group Rules.

Step 6

Click Save.

Step 7

Review and deploy the changes you made immediately, or wait and deploy multiple changes at once.

Caution

If the deployment fails, Security Cloud Control tries to restore the AWS VPC to its previous state. This is done on a "best-effort" basis. Because AWS does not maintain a "state," this rollback attempt might fail. If this happens, log in to the AWS management console and manually restore the AWS VPC configuration. Then poll for differences between the AWS VPC device configuration and the configuration in Security Cloud Control.
