Editing a Network Firewall

Change the information for a network firewall in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Important

When you make the following changes, the update causes a connection reset in the firewall:
  • Updating mapped secret information in a policy associated with a firewall.
  • Changing the firewall policy that's associated with the firewall to one that uses different mapped secret information than the current policy.

Editing other types of information in the firewall does not result in a connection reset.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security. Under Firewalls, click Network Firewalls.
    2. Select the compartment that contains the firewall that you want to edit.
    3. Click the name of the firewall.
    4. Click Edit.
    5. Update the firewall information as needed, and then click Save Changes.
      Note

      • When you upgrade a policy, any associated firewall is also upgraded automatically. After the upgrade is complete, the attached firewalls can no longer use old versions of policies.
      • After a firewall is upgraded, it can't be downgraded back to the old version, and it can't use an old version of a policy.

      For more information, see Upgrading a Policy.

  • Use the network-firewall network-firewall update command and required parameters to edit a firewall.
    oci network-firewall network-firewall update 
--network-firewall-id network_firewall_id [OPTIONS]
