Field	Description
Rule	Specify the desired rule template or use custom rules such as Custom TCP Rule, Custom UDP Rule, or Custom ICMP Rule.
Description	Add a brief description of the rule.
Direction	Select the desired filter out of the two available filters i.e., ingress and egress. The ingress and egress rules are used to control traffic within and across the network boundary. Let’s know them individually: Ingress: It refers to a set of rules which are used to block outbound traffic coming toward the server. Egress: It refers to a set of rules which are used to allow traffic to pass from your server to the outer world.
Open Port/Port Range	For TCP and UDP rules you may choose to open either a single port or a range of ports.
Remote	Specify the source of the traffic to be allowed via this rule. You may do so either in the form of an IP address block (CDR) or via a source group (Security Group).

Then, click the Add Rule button.
