Creating a VPC Border Firewall
A VPC border firewall can collect statistics on communication traffic between VPCs, helping you detect abnormal traffic. This section describes how to create a VPC border firewall.
Prerequisites
- You have an enterprise router.
- To create a VPC border firewall, you need to configure an inspection VPC that consumes a VPC protection quota for traffic diversion. The current account must have a VPC that does not transmit traffic and has no subnets associated, and the VPCs under the account can create at least 2 route tables.
Procedure
- Log in to the management console.
- In the navigation pane on the left, click
and choose . The Dashboard page will be displayed. - (Optional) Switch to another firewall instance: Select a firewall from the drop-down list in the upper left corner of the page.
- In the navigation pane, choose Assets > Inter-VPC Border Firewalls.
- Configure the subnets associated with the enterprise router and the cloud firewall, respectively. Click Create Firewall. Configure the enterprise router and associated subnets.
