Need to Enable ports 80 and 443 along with inbound rules using Azure REST API so as to run the IPADdress of the Virtual Machine

ANIRUDH TPVS 1

I am very new to azure and this is my first time working with azure.

I am actually trying to develop a script wherein I have to return the IPAddress of the virtual machine(created using a script via Azure REST API) as the output of the script. Right now I am unable to run the IPAddress returned as output by the script on the browser since I have to enable the ports 80 and 443 along with the inbound rules required for the Virtual machine in the particular ipAddress to run. For enabling the ports, I must do it using a script via the REST API. In short, all of the process above must be done using a REST API. I need some technical guidance in sorting out this problem.

Hello @ANIRUDH TPVS ,

You can find the links to requested REST APIs below:

To create or update a security rule in the specified network security group. which can be used to enable ports 80 and 443 along with inbound rules:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/virtualnetwork/securityrules/createorupdate

To get the network interface ip configuration of a VM:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/virtualnetwork/networkinterfaceipconfigurations/get

To get the public IP address of a VM in a specified resource group:

Thank you for the response. This was very helpful.

Using the above API'S I was able to create a network security group and also added inbound rules to it. Now I need to assign this security group to the VM I created - by default, no security group is assigned to the Virtual Machine(VM) created through REST API.

Can you please share the documentation to the relevant API?

Also I tried to open the port 80 and 443 using the rest api, but it works perfectly for 443 but not for port 80.

Could you please help in this regard?

Hello @ANIRUDH TPVS ,

To associate a NSG to an Azure VM Network Interface, you can refer the below link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/virtualnetwork/networkinterfaces/createorupdate
You need to add the NSG reference under NIC properties section:

"networkSecurityGroup": { "id": "NSG_Resource_Id" }

Thanks,
Gita

Hello @ANIRUDH TPVS ,

It should work for both port 80 and 443. Could you please try to list all security rules in the NSG and check if any other rule is blocking port 80. Please follow below link to list all rules:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/virtualnetwork/securityrules/list

Thanks,
