Enabling or Disabling a Security Group Rule

Scenarios

After a security group rule is added, it is enabled by default. You can enable or disable a security group rule as needed.
  • After a security group rule is disabled, it will not work. If all security group rules are disabled, traffic will be denied to reach or leave the instances in the security group. Disabling all rules may interrupt network traffic.
  • After a security group rule is enabled, it controls the network traffic from and to the instances in the security group.
