  • update_network_security_group_security_rules
The action to perform on the SecurityRule.
api_user
string
The OCID of the user, on whose behalf, OCI APIs are invoked. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_ID environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the user is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the user's OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_fingerprint
string
Fingerprint for the key pair being used. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_FINGERPRINT environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key fingerprint is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the key pair's fingerprint value please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_key_file
string
Full path and filename of the private key (in PEM format). If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_FILE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the private key is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the api_user_key_pass_phrase option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase

If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use auth_type="instance_principal" to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible` playbooks within an OCI compute instance.

description
-
An optional description of your choice for the rule. Avoid entering confidential information.
destination
-
Conceptually, this is the range of IP addresses that a packet originating from the instance can go to.
Allowed values:
* An IP address range in CIDR notation. For example: `192.168.1.0/24`
* The `cidrBlock` value for a Service, if you're setting up a security rule for traffic destined for a particular `Service` through a service gateway. For example: `oci-phx-objectstorage`.
* The OCID of a NetworkSecurityGroup in the same VCN. The value can be the NSG that the rule belongs to if the rule's intent is to control traffic between VNICs in the same NSG.
destination_type
-
    Choices:
  • CIDR_BLOCK
  • SERVICE_CIDR_BLOCK
  • NETWORK_SECURITY_GROUP
Type of destination for the rule. Required if `direction` = `EGRESS`.
Allowed values:
* `CIDR_BLOCK`: If the rule's `destination` is an IP address range in CIDR notation.
* `SERVICE_CIDR_BLOCK`: If the rule's `destination` is the `cidrBlock` value for a Service (the rule is for traffic destined for a particular `Service` through a service gateway).
* `NETWORK_SECURITY_GROUP`: If the rule's `destination` is the OCID of a NetworkSecurityGroup.
direction
- / required
    Choices:
  • EGRESS
  • INGRESS
Direction of the security rule. Set to `EGRESS` for rules to allow outbound IP packets, or `INGRESS` for rules to allow inbound IP packets.
icmp_options
dictionary
Optional and valid only for ICMP and ICMPv6. Use to specify a particular ICMP type and code as defined in: - ICMP Parameters - ICMPv6 Parameters
If you specify ICMP or ICMPv6 as the protocol but omit this object, then all ICMP types and codes are allowed. If you do provide this object, the type is required and the code is optional. To enable MTU negotiation for ingress internet traffic via IPv4, make sure to allow type 3 ("Destination Unreachable") code 4 ("Fragmentation Needed and Don't Fragment was Set"). If you need to specify multiple codes for a single type, create a separate security list rule for each.
code
integer
The ICMP code (optional).
type
integer / required
The ICMP type.
id
-
The Oracle-assigned ID of the security rule that you want to update. You can't change this value.
Example: `04ABEC`
is_stateless
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
A stateless rule allows traffic in one direction. Remember to add a corresponding stateless rule in the other direction if you need to support bidirectional traffic. For example, if egress traffic allows TCP destination port 80, there should be an ingress rule to allow TCP source port 80. Defaults to false, which means the rule is stateful and a corresponding rule is not necessary for bidirectional traffic.
protocol
- / required
The transport protocol. Specify either `all` or an IPv4 protocol number as defined in Protocol Numbers. Options are supported only for ICMP ("1"), TCP ("6"), UDP ("17"), and ICMPv6 ("58").
source
-
Conceptually, this is the range of IP addresses that a packet coming into the instance can come from.
Allowed values:
* An IP address range in CIDR notation. For example: `192.168.1.0/24`
* The `cidrBlock` value for a Service, if you're setting up a security rule for traffic coming from a particular `Service` through a service gateway. For example: `oci-phx-objectstorage`.
* The OCID of a NetworkSecurityGroup in the same VCN. The value can be the NSG that the rule belongs to if the rule's intent is to control traffic between VNICs in the same NSG.
source_type
-
    Choices:
  • CIDR_BLOCK
  • SERVICE_CIDR_BLOCK
  • NETWORK_SECURITY_GROUP
Type of source for the rule. Required if `direction` = `INGRESS`.
* `CIDR_BLOCK`: If the rule's `source` is an IP address range in CIDR notation.
* `SERVICE_CIDR_BLOCK`: If the rule's `source` is the `cidrBlock` value for a Service (the rule is for traffic coming from a particular `Service` through a service gateway).
* `NETWORK_SECURITY_GROUP`: If the rule's `source` is the OCID of a NetworkSecurityGroup.
