**Table 1** Path Parameters

Request Parameters

**Table 2** Request header parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
X-Auth-Token	Yes	String	Definition: Specifies the token used for IAM authentication.

**Table 3** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
l7policy	Yes	CreateL7PolicyOption object	Definition: Specifies the forwarding policy.

**Table 4** CreateL7PolicyOption
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
action	Yes	String	Definition: Specifies the action of the forwarding policy. Constraints: REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER has the highest priority. If requests are to be redirected to an HTTPS listener, other forwarding policies of the listener will become invalid. If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL, the listener's protocol must be HTTP, HTTPS, or TERMINATED_HTTPS. If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the listener's protocol must be HTTP. Range: REDIRECT_TO_POOL: Requests are forwarded to another backend server group. REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER: Requests are redirected to an HTTPS listener. REDIRECT_TO_URL: Requests are redirected to another URL. FIXED_RESPONSE: A fixed response body is returned.
admin_state_up	No	Boolean	Definition: Specifies the administrative status of the forwarding policy. Constraints: The value can only be true.
description	No	String	Definition: Provides supplementary information about the forwarding policy.
listener_id	Yes	String	Definition: Specifies the ID of the listener with which the forwarding policy is associated. Constraints: If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL, the listener's protocol must be HTTP or HTTPS. If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the listener's protocol must be HTTP.
name	No	String	Definition: Specifies the forwarding policy name.
position	No	Integer	Definition: Specifies the priority of the forwarding policy. Constraint: The value cannot be updated. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.
priority	No	Integer	Definition: Specifies the priority of the forwarding policy. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. Constraints: The priority must be unique for forwarding policies of the same listener. This parameter takes effect only when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true. If this parameter is passed and enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, an error will be returned. If enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, forwarding policies are automatically prioritized based on the original policy sorting logic. The priorities of domain names are independent from each other. For the same domain name, the priorities are sorted in the order of exact match (EQUAL_TO), prefix match (STARTS_WITH), and regular expression match (REGEX). If the matching types are the same, the longer the path is, the higher the priority is. If a forwarding policy contains only a domain name without a path specified, the path is /, and prefix match is used by default. Range: If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the priority ranges from 0 to 10,000. If action is set to other values, the priority ranges from 1 to 10,000. Default value: If this parameter is not passed and enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, the priority of the new forwarding policy is 1. If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the priority of the new forwarding policy is 0. If action is set to other values, the priority of the new forwarding policy will be a sum of 1 and the highest priority of existing forwarding policy in the same listener by default. If there is no forwarding policy, the priority of a new forwarding policy will be 1 by default. If the priority of an existing forwarding policy is the maximum value (10,000), the forwarding policy will fail to be created because the maximum value will be exceeded. In this case, specify a value or adjust the priorities of existing forwarding policies.
project_id	No	String	Definition: Specifies the ID of the project where the forwarding policy is used.
redirect_listener_id	No	String	Definition: Specifies the ID of the listener to which requests are redirected. This parameter is mandatory when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER. Constraints: The listener's protocol must be HTTPS or TERMINATED_HTTPS. A listener added to another load balancer is not allowed. This parameter cannot be passed in the API for adding or updating a forwarding policy if action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL.
redirect_pool_id	No	String	Definition: Specifies the ID of the backend server group to which requests will be forwarded. Constraints: This parameter takes effect only when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL. If this parameter is specified when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, an error will be reported.
redirect_url	No	String	Definition: Specifies the URL to which requests will be forwarded. Constraints: The value must be in the format of protocol://host:port/path?query.

Default value: The value must be in the format of protocol://host:port/path?query. At least one of the four parameters (protocol, host, port, and path) must be passed, or their values cannot be set to ${xxx} at the same time. ${xxx} indicates that the value in the request will be used. For example, ${host} indicates the host in the URL to be redirected. The values of protocol and port cannot be the same as those of the associated listener, and either host or path must be passed or their values cannot be ${xxx} at the same time.
fixed_response_config	No	CreateFixtedResponseConfig object	Definition: Specifies the configuration of the page that will be returned. Constraints: This parameter takes effect only when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true. If this parameter is passed and enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, an error will be returned. This parameter is mandatory when action is set to FIXED_RESPONSE. It cannot be specified if action is set to other values.
redirect_pools_extend_config	No	CreateRedirectPoolsExtendConfig object	Definition: Specifies the backend server group that requests are forwarded to. Constraints: This parameter takes effect only when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL.
rules	No	Array of CreateL7PolicyRuleOption objects	Definition: Lists the forwarding rules in the forwarding policy.
