# Change security group mode

The group mode (stateful or stateless) can only be changed via OpenStack CLI.

<Tabs queryString="change-group-mode">
  <TabItem value="openstack">
    <TabItemLabel>
      OpenStack CLI
    </TabItemLabel>

    1. [Open OpenStack CLI](/cloud-servers/tools/openstack-cli/).

    2. Change the security group:

       ```bash
       openstack security group set \
         [--stateful | --stateless]
         <security_group>
       ```

       Specify:

       * new group mode — `--stateful` or `--stateless`;
       * `<security_group>` — security group ID, can be viewed using the `openstack security group list`.
  </TabItem>
</Tabs>
