Create a firewall rule on GCP Cloud from command line

Question

Hi Guys,

I have created one VPC on GCP Cloud from the command line. I want to add one firewall rule to this VPC. Can anyone tell me how can I create a firewall rule from the command line?

Hi@akhtar,

You need to configure GCP Cloud SDK in your command line. It will connect to your GCP Cloud API. After that, you can use the below command to create a firewall rule to your VPC.

$ gcloud compute --project=nadeem-gcp-123456 firewall-rules create NAME --direction=INGRESS --priority=1000 --network=default --action=ALLOW --rules=PROTOCOL:PORT

Hope this helps!!

If you need to know more about Google Cloud, It's recommended to go for Google Cloud architect certification course.

Thanks!
