Jayapal Reddy commented on CLOUDSTACK-5278:
-------------------------------------------
Case: 'deny' :
The global deny rules is not added because for VR and SRX the default egress is
DENY. So extra rule is not required.
For Palo Alto if it is different then for this provider rules can be added on
network creation get the DENY behaviour.
The clean up of default egress rules is not needed for VR when we destroy the
network.
For other network providers it has to be implemented in the shutdown network of
the Firewall Provider resource base.
I think the rule ID case is specific to palo alto. Changes can be made to fix
the issue.
Thanks,

> Many Egress Firewall Bugs

> Key: CLOUDSTACK-5278
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-5278
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Affects Versions: 4.3.0
> Reporter: Will Stevens
> Assignee: Jayapal Reddy
> Priority: Critical
>
> These issues may also exist in the 4.2 branch, but I am currently
> testing/working on the 4.3 branch.
> I believe these bugs were introduced with the change to the Network Service
> Offering to add the 'Default egress policy' dropdown.
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1578
> I am trying to resolve the bugs this change introduced in the Palo Alto
> plugin.
> There are two types of Egress rules (from what I can tell).
> - FirewallRule.FirewallRuleType.System : this appears to be set up by the
> system on network creation to correspond to the global network default
> allow/deny egress rule.
> - FirewallRule.FirewallRuleType.User : any rule that a user creates through
> the UI will get this type.
> There are bugs associated with both of the options in the dropdown (allow and
> deny).
> Case: 'deny'
> - When the network is setup, it does not try to create the global deny rule
> for the network, but it appears to register that it exists. Instead, when
> the first egress rule is created by a user, the system sees both the 'system'
> and 'user' rules, so it will create both rules then.
> Case: both 'allow' and 'deny'
> - The clean up of the network global 'system' egress rules are never done.
> So when a network is deleted, it will leave an orphaned egress rule
> associated with the previous network's cidr. This is bound to cause many
> issues.
> - Even worse, it appears that the ID for the network global 'system' egress
> rule is hardcoded to '0'. Every time I try to spin up a new network it will
> attempt to create a rule with a '0' ID, but since one already exists with
> that ID, there is a config collision. In my case (Palo Alto), the second
> rule with the same ID gets ignored because it checks to see if the rule
> exists and it gets a 'yes' back because the previous network has an egress
> rule with that ID already.
> Let me know if you have additional questions...
