Is it possible to add the firewall rules for vCenter via any script?

-Connect to the vCenter VAMI (port 5480)

-Select Firewall

-Add the rules by Providing the values (Network Interface, IP Address, Subnet Prefix Length and Action)

I am sorry, I am unable to follow those commands.

After I connect the vCenter using root account via putty session, if I enter this command:

GET https://vCenterFQDN/api/appliance/networking/firewall/inbound

then I am getting this message: -bash: GET: command not found

Can you please help me what exact command I can run?
