Creating a Firewall (VPC Mode)
A VPC border firewall can collect statistics on the traffic between VPCs, helping you detect abnormal traffic. This section describes how to create a VPC border firewall.
Constraints
Only the professional edition supports VPC border firewalls.
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.
- Click Create Firewall.
- Configure a CIDR block. An inspection VPC will be automatically created by default.
Pay attention to the following restrictions during network planning:
- After a firewall is created, its CIDR block cannot be modified.
- The CIDR block must meet the following requirements:
- Only private network address segments (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16) are supported. Otherwise, route conflicts may occur in public network access scenarios, such as SNAT.
- The CIDR block 10.6.0.0/16-10.7.0.0/16 is reserved for CFW and cannot be used.
- This CIDR block cannot overlap with the private CIDR block to be protected, or routing conflicts and protection failures may occur.
- Click OK.
