# Resource: proxmox_virtual_environment_firewall_alias

Aliases are used to see what devices or group of devices are affected by a rule.
We can create aliases to identify an IP address or a network. Aliases can be
created on the cluster level, on VM / Container level.

## Example Usage

```hcl
resource "proxmox_virtual_environment_firewall_alias" "local_network" {
  depends_on = [proxmox_virtual_environment_vm.example]

  node_name = proxmox_virtual_environment_vm.example.node_name
  vm_id     = proxmox_virtual_environment_vm.example.vm_id

  name    = "local_network"
  cidr    = "192.168.0.0/23"
  comment = "Managed by Terraform"
}

resource "proxmox_virtual_environment_firewall_alias" "ubuntu_vm" {
  name    = "ubuntu"
  cidr    = "192.168.0.1"
  comment = "Managed by Terraform"
}
```
