   Table 1 Inbound rule parameter description

   Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Priority	The security group rule priority. The priority ranges from 1 to 100. The default value is 1 and has the highest priority. A rule with a smaller value has a higher priority.	1
   Action	Allow or Deny If the Action is set to Allow, access from the source is allowed to ECSs in the security group over specified ports. If the Action is set to Deny, access from the source is denied to ECSs in the security group over specified ports. Security group rules are matched by priority and then by action. Deny rules take precedence over allow rules.	Allow
   Type	Source IP address version. You can select: IPv4 IPv6	IPv4
   Protocol & Port	The network protocol used to match traffic in a security group rule. The protocol can be All, TCP, UDP, GRE, or ICMP.	TCP
   	Destination port used to match traffic in a security group rule. The value can be from 1 to 65535. Inbound rules control incoming traffic over specific ports to instances in the security group.	22, or 22-30
   Source	Source of the security group rule. The value can be an IP address, a security group, or an IP address group, to allow access from IP addresses or instances in the security group. IP address: Single IP address: 192.168.10.10/32 (IPv4); 2002:50::44/128 (IPv6) All IP addresses: 0.0.0.0/0 (IPv4); ::/0 (IPv6) IP address range: 192.168.1.0/24 (IPv4); 2407:c080:802:469::/64 (IPv6) IP address group: ipGroup-A If the source is a security group, this rule will apply to all instances associated with the selected security group.	0.0.0.0/0

   Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Priority	The security group rule priority. The priority ranges from 1 to 100. The default value is 1 and has the highest priority. A rule with a smaller value has a higher priority.	1
   Action	Allow or Deny If the Action is set to Allow, access from ECSs in the security group is allowed to the destination over specified ports. If the Action is set to Deny, access from ECSs in the security group is denied to the destination over specified ports. Security group rules are matched by priority and then by action. Deny rules take precedence over allow rules.	Allow
   Type	Destination IP address version. You can select: IPv4 IPv6	IPv4
   Protocol & Port	The network protocol used to match traffic in a security group rule. The protocol can be All, TCP, UDP, GRE, or ICMP.	TCP
   	Destination port used to match traffic in a security group rule. The value can be from 1 to 65535. Outbound rules control outgoing traffic over specific ports from instances in the security group.	22, or 22-30
   Destination	Destination of the security group rule. The value can be an IP address or a security group to allow access to IP addresses or instances in the security group. IP address: Single IP address: 192.168.10.10/32 (IPv4); 2002:50::44/128 (IPv6) All IP addresses: 0.0.0.0/0 (IPv4); ::/0 (IPv6) IP address range: 192.168.1.0/24 (IPv4); 2407:c080:802:469::/64 (IPv6)	0.0.0.0/0
