String

Provides supplementary information about the security group rule.

security_group_id

Yes

String

Specifies the ID of the belonged security group.

remote_group_id

No

String

  • Specifies the peer ID of the belonged security group.

direction

Yes

String

  • Specifies the direction of a security group rule.

  • The value can be ingress (inbound) or egress (outbound).

remote_ip_prefix

No

String

  • Specifies the peer IP address segment.

protocol

No

String

  • Specifies the protocol type or the IP protocol number.

  • The value can be tcp, udp, icmp or an IP protocol number.

port_range_max

Integer

  • Specifies the maximum port number. When ICMP is used, the value is the ICMP code.

  • The value ranges from 1 to 65535. (The value ranges from 0 to 255 when it indicates the code.)

port_range_min

No

Integer

  • Specifies the minimum port number. When ICMP is used, the value is the ICMP type.

  • Constraints:

    • When the TCP or UDP protocol is used, both port_range_max and port_range_min must be specified, and the port_range_max value must be greater than the port_range_min value.

    • When the ICMP protocol is used, if you specify the ICMP code (port_range_max), you must also specify the ICMP type (port_range_min).

ethertype

No

String

  • Specifies the network type.

  • The value can be IPv4 or IPv6.

remote_address_group_id

No

String

  • Specifies the remote IP address group ID. You can log in to the management console and view the ID on the IP address group page.

  • The value is mutually exclusive with parameters remote_ip_prefix and remote_group_id.

Example Request

Create an outbound rule in the security group whose ID is 5cb9c1ee-00e0-4d0f-9623-55463cd26ff8. Set protocol to tcp, and remote_ip_prefix to 10.10.0.0/24.
