Question Command line for adding firewall rule for icmp

plesk-perry

New Pleskian
I need to add a large number of IPs to be allowed to ping the web server. My Plesk version is Obsidian 18.0.36.

The Plesk admin GUI does provide this, but it is impossible to type in all of the IPs one by one and add. So I'm looking for a command line alternative.

I can add other firewall rules using /usr/local/psa/bin/modules/firewall/settings, but it seems to support only TCP and UDP protocols. I tried different ways to specify ICMP, like the following, but it gave errors:

settings \
--set-rule \
-name 'MyRule' \
-direction input \
-action allow \
-ports '8/icmp' \
-remote-addresses '192.168.1.1'

Is there a way to do this? I know I can do it directly on the IP Tables, but in that case those rules will not be shown in the Plesk GUI and also they'd be wiped out every time I do a firewall rule change via the Plesk GUI.
