In neutron a security group rule can have different types of "remote" - either a CIDR or another security group.

The rule means that your "remote" is another security group - so any VM in security group "default" can reach any port in this security group - so "default" has opened all its ports to members of "default.

Hi Guys,

There is a default security group rule that has the following entry:

--
Direction: Ingress
Ether Type: IPv4
IP Protocol: Any
Port Range: Any
Remote Prefix: -
Remote Security Group: default
--

Now this makes me think that it should basically allow all ingress ipv4 traffic (udp & tcp) on any port. However we have to manually open up ssh for example by adding another rule for port 22 and remote prefix of 0.0.0.0/0 <http://0.0.0.0/0>. Not sure what a - in the remote prefix means and why is this rule even there if it does nothing. Any help understanding this would be appreciated.

Thanks.
