Viewing network controls and security groups
The Network Controls tab displays information about the appliance’s network configuration. You can also configure custom rules and access security group information here.
This feature is available to appliances provisioned through the portal to the AWS cloud platform.
The Network Controls tab contains these items:
Elastic IP Address displays the selected elastic IP address. Elastic IP addresses are static IP addresses designed for dynamic cloud computing. An elastic IP address is associated with your account, not a particular instance, and you control that address until you choose to explicitly release it. The Cloud Portal allows you to associate an elastic IP address with your Cloud Accelerator. If you choose to assign an elastic IP address to a Cloud Accelerator, the Cloud Accelerator will have the same IP address every time it is started.
Public IP Address displays the current public IP address of the appliance.
Public DNS Name displays the public DNS name of the appliance.
Private IP Address displays the current private (cloud vendor) IP address of the appliance.
Private DNS Name displays the internal DNS name of the appliance.
Security Group Name displays the name of the security group where the appliance belongs.

Protocol displays the protocol used to communicate with the portal (TCP, UDP, or ICMP).
From Port displays the starting port number of a range of ports that peer nodes are allowed to access.
To Port displays the ending port number of a range of ports that peer nodes are allowed to access.
Source displays the IP address of the source node.
Policy indicates the rule policy for access to the appliance (Allow or Deny).
Delete deletes the Discovery Service Rule.
