Add an Ingress Rule to Allow ssh Access to SOA Servers

After provisioning, if you need to connect (ssh) to a SOA server, you must add an ingress rule to allow traffic from the host where ssh is initiated. For example, if your ssh client host public IP is 129.29.30.51, then add an ingress rule to allow traffic from 129.29.30.51/32.

To add an ingress rule to allow traffic from the ssh client host:

1. Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
2. Open the navigation menu, click Networking, and then click Virtual Cloud Networks.
3. Select the compartment where you created the new instance.
4. In the list of VCNs, select your VCN.
5. On the Virtual Cloud Network Details page, click Security Lists in the left pane.
6. Click the security list that the ssh client host is using.
7. Click Add Ingress Rules to open the Add Ingress Rules dialog.
   
   
   
8. In the Add Ingress Rules dialog, create an ingress rule to access the ssh client host:
   1. Leave the STATELESS checkbox deselected.
   2. For SOURCE TYPE, select CIDR.
   3. In the SOURCE CIDR field, enter the public IP address of the machine where the ssh client host is opened from a browser (for example, if your public IP address is129.29.30.51 then enter 129.29.30.51/32). Alternatively, you can enter a CIDR.
   4. In the IP PROTOCOL field, select TCP.
   5. In the SOURCE PORT RANGE field, enter All.
   6. In the DESTINATION PORT RANGE field, enter 22.
   7. Click Add Ingress Rules.
