take a look this codes let me know if you need more information

# Edit Vlan firewall rule.
#
# A firewall's ruleset is modified by passing a SoftLayer_Network_Firewall_Update_Request template
# object to SoftLayer_Network_Firewall_Update_Request::createObject. The entire ruleset is rewritten
# with each update request. This means it is necessary to include all past unchanged rules along with any
# modifications or additions. This is easily accomplished by pulling in the existing rules as described above
# then modifying the gathered array.
# Each SoftLayer_Network_Component_Firewall_Update_Request_Rule object requires:
#
# action - permit or deny
# destinationIpAddress - destination address
# destinationIpSubnetMask - subnet mask for destination
# sourceIpAddress - originating address
# sourceIpSubnetMask - subnet mask for origin address
# protocol - tcp/udp
# destinationPortRangeStart - first port the rule will effect
# destinationPortRangeEnd - last port the rule will effect
# orderValue - order in which rules are applied (lower is sooner)

# Generate an API key at the SoftLayer Customer Portal

# Getting the ID of Access Control List.
# Each VLAN will have two types of firewallInterface: 'inside' and 'outside'.
# firewallContextAccessControlLists are organized by a direction of 'in' or 'out'.
# Currently the SoftLayer Platform supports the 'outside' firewallInterfaces
for firewall in vlan['firewallInterfaces']:
