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.
Note: 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 Riverbed Cloud Portal allows you to associate an elastic IP address with your SteelHead-c. If you choose to assign an elastic IP address to a SteelHead-c, it means that every time the SteelHead-c is started it will have that same IP address.
• 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.
• Discovery Service Rules
• 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.
• Custom Rules - This section contains the same information fields as Discovery Service Rules.
