#
# Create a dedicated firewall
#
# This script will config a dedicated firewall service on
# a vlan using the SoftLayer_Product_Order::placeOrder
# method it is needed to build a skeleton SoftLayer_Container_Product_Order_Network_Protection_Firewall_Dedicated
# object and provide the ID of vlan in which
# the firewall service will be configured
# To get prices IDs for firewall service use
# SoftLayer_Product_Package::getItemPrices method.

# For nice debug output:firewall
import pprint

# Your SoftLayer API username and key.
#
# Generate an API key at the SoftLayer Customer Portal

# Create a client object.
