Creating a security group

{: #creating-a-security-group}

You can create and configure a custom IBM™ Cloud Security Group using the instructions here. {: shortdesc}

  1. From your browser, open the IBM Cloud console and log into your account.
  2. From the Dashboard, click the Menu icon Menu icon > Classic Infrastructure to get to the Classic Infrastructure landing page.
  3. From the Classic Infrastructure menu, select Security > Network Security > Security Groups to get to the Security Groups page.
  4. On the Security Groups page, click on the Create Group + button.
  5. Enter a name for the Security Group and optionally a description.
  6. Click Create Group.

Note that the Create group with a default… checkbox is unmarked. This means no outbound rule will be created for this Security Group object. As a result, unless other outbound rules or Security Group objects are created, only incoming requests (such as SSH and ICMP) and their related (outgoing) traffic flows or responses will be permitted.

Next step...

{: #next-step-2}

Create a rule to allow incoming requests (SSH & ICMP) and their related (outgoing) traffic flows.
