Network security groups

On the Database connection details page, under the Resources on the left side of the page, you can find the Network Security Groups that can be associated, with this database connection.
Note

  • You can associate NSGs available in your VCN to the connection. The NSGs that are listed for a subnet are only applicable to your current VCN.
  • You can add network security groups in Database Migration Service to control traffic, if you have connected over private endpoints while registering databases. The advantage of network security groups (NSGs) is that rules can be limited to individual resources within a subnet, whereas Security Lists apply to all resources within a subnet.
  • Associating NSGs to database connections provides you fine grained control over the access to your database connection resources that are involved in the migration process (Source and Target). See Network Security Groups for more information.
  1. Click Add network security groups to open the Add network security groups panel.
  2. Select a network security group from the compartment and click Add network security groups.
  3. You can add up-to five unique network security groups by clicking on Another network security group.
You can view the following details associated with the Network security groups Resource:

  • Name : The name of the added network security group.

  • State: The state of the network security group.

  • Compartment : The compartment where the network security group resides.

  • Created : The date and time when the network security group was created.

Select single or multiple network security groups to remove them by clicking Remove in the Remove network security groups confirmation dialog.

Select View details from the actions menu (three dots) for a specific NSG to view information related to VCN.

Work Requests

On the Database connection details page, under the Connection information box you can find the Work Requests list. Work Requests lists any work requests sent to OCI to facilitate the creation, update, or deletion of this resource.
