Create a firewall device

post https://api.linode.com//networking/firewalls//devices

Creates a firewall device, which assigns a firewall to a service (referred to as the device's entity) and applies the firewall's rules to the device.

  • Currently, devices with linode, interface, and nodebalancer entity types are accepted.

    • The linode type is not allowed for Linodes using Linode interfaces.
    • The interface type is not allowed for legacy config interfaces. For VPC and public legacy config profile interfaces, the firewall is applied through the linode device.

  • Firewalls only apply to inbound TCP traffic to NodeBalancers.

  • A firewall can be assigned to multiple services at a time.

  • A service can have one assigned firewall at a time.

  • Assigned Linodes must not have any ongoing live migrations.

  • A firewall_device_add event is generated when the firewall device is added successfully.
