Managing firewall rules
vShield Edge provides port-level firewall functionality to isolate and allow specific traffic between networks configured on a given vShield Edge gateway. Firewall rule management consists of the source, destination, and traffic type as categorized by predefined services.
Getting ready
In order to proceed, we require access to vShield App through the vSphere Client plugin. The client can be run on any modern Windows desktop operating system or server operating system.
Note
The vShield vSphere Client plugin requires Adobe Flash, which is not supported on Linux operating systems at this time.
Ensure the vCenter account used to log in has administrative rights to vShield Manager.

Launch vSphere Client using an account with administrative rights, if it is not already open.
Navigate to Home | Inventory | Hosts and Clusters from the menu bar.
Navigate to Datacenter.
Select the Network Virtualization tab.
Navigate to Actions | Manage to open...
