/*
Get the firewall associated to a VSI.
On this case we'll first retrieve the Virtual Guest ID by using the method Virtual_Guest::findByIpAddress,
and finally we'll use the method Virtual_Guest::getFirewallServiceComponent in order to get the firewall
component of VSI. See bellow for more details.
