I'm following the following to use Azure CLI to open ports
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/nsg-quickstart

I.e., the command, 

az vm open-port --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myVM --port 80

works fine. However, when I try to open up the next port, 21, I got this:

Security rule open-port-80 conflicts with rule open-port-21. Rules cannot have the same Priority and Direction.

So

  • how do I open a bunch of ports (not just one) to my VM using Azure CLI?
  • how do I add more ports to the already opened set of ports to my VM using Azure CLI?

thx

For your issue, you want to open port for your Azure VM. Actually, they're Network Security Group(NSG) rules. You used command:

az vm open-port --resourcr-group myResourceGroup --name myVM --port 80

It used the default priority and it's just one.

So you can use special and complete command to create rules. And the rules like this:

az network nsg rule create --name myRuleName --resource-group myResourveGroup --priority 100 --access Allow --source-address-prefixes '*' --source-port-ranges '*' --destination-address-prefixes '*' --destination-port-ranges 80 --protocol Tcp

For more detail about the command you can read az network nsg rule.

This example worked as of Aug 12 2018 to allow tcp/2222 inbound

az network nsg rule create --nsg-name c3nsg --resource-group c3 -n c3nsg-nonstandard-ssh --direction Inbound --priority 101 --access Allow --source-address-prefixes * --source-port-ranges * --destination-address-prefixes * --destination-port-ranges 2222 --protocol tcp
