Changing a Security Group

Context

A security group is a collection of access control rules for ECSs that have the same security protection requirements and are mutually trusted in a VPC. After a security group is created, you can create different access rules for the security group to protect the ECSs that are added to this security group. The default security group rule allows all outgoing data packets. ECSs in a security group can access each other without the need to add rules. The system creates a security group for each cloud account by default. You can also create custom security groups by yourself.

When creating a security group, you must add the inbound and outbound access rules and enable the ports required for application-consistent backup to prevent application-consistent backup failures.

Operation Instructions

Before using the application-consistent backup function, you need to change the security group. To ensure network security, CBR has not set the inbound direction of a security group, so you need to manually configure it.

In the outbound direction of the security group, ports 1 to 65535 on the 100.125.0.0/16 network segment must be configured. In the inbound direction, ports 59526 to 59528 on the 100.125.0.0/16 network segment must be configured. The default outbound rule is 0.0.0.0/0, that is, all data packets are permitted. If the default rule in the outbound direction is not modified, you do not need to configure the outbound direction.
