Request Parameters

**Table 2** Request header parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
X-Auth-Token	Yes	String	Specifies the token used for IAM authentication. Minimum: 0 Maximum: 4096

**Table 3** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
loadbalancer	Yes	UpdateLoadBalancerOption object	Specifies the load balancer.

**Table 4** UpdateLoadBalancerOption
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	No	String	Specifies the load balancer name. Minimum: 0 Maximum: 255
admin_state_up	No	Boolean	Specifies whether to enable the load balancer. true: The load balancer is enabled. false: The load balancer is disabled.
description	No	String	Provides supplementary information about the load balancer. Minimum: 0 Maximum: 255
ipv6_vip_virsubnet_id	No	String	Specifies the ID of the IPv6 subnet where the load balancer resides. You can query parameter id in the response by calling the API (GET https://{VPC_Endpoint}/v1/{project_id}/subnets). The IPv6 subnet can be updated using ipv6_vip_virsubnet_id, and the private IPv6 address of the load balancer will be changed accordingly. Note: This parameter will be passed only when IPv6 is enabled for the subnet. The subnet specified by ipv6_vip_virsubnet_id must be in the VPC specified by vpc_id. This parameter can be updated only when guaranteed is set to true. The value will become null if the IPv6 address is unbound from the load balancer. The IPv4 subnet will not change, if IPv6 subet is updated.
vip_subnet_cidr_id	No	String	Specifies the ID of the IPv4 subnet where the load balancer resides. You can query parameter neutron_subnet_id in the response by calling the API (GET https://{VPC_Endpoint}/v1/{project_id}/subnets). The IPv4 subnet can be updated by spcifying a different value for vip_subnet_cidr_id, and the private IPv4 address of the load balancer will be changed accordingly. Note: If vip_address is also specified, the IP address specified by vip_address must be in the subnet specified by vip_subnet_cidr_id and will be used as the private IPv4 address of the load balancer. The IPv4 subnet must be in the VPC where the load balancer resides. This parameter can be updated only when guaranteed is set to true. If this parameter is set to null, the private IPv4 address will be unbound from the load balancer. The IPv6 subnet will not change, if IPv4 subet is updated. The private IPv4 address cannot be unbound from a gateway load balancer. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 36
vip_address	No	String	Specifies the private IPv4 address bound to the load balancer. The IP address must be from the IPv4 subnet where the load balancer resides and should not be occupied by other services. The value of ipv4_address cannot be changed for gateway load balancers. vip_address can be updated only when guaranteed is set to true. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 36
l4_flavor_id	No	String	Specifies the flavor ID of a network load balancer. Note: l4_flavor_id is not supported by gateway load balancers. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 255
l7_flavor_id	No	String	Specifies theflavor ID of an application load balancer. Note: l7_flavor_id is not supported by gateway load balancers. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 36
gw_flavor_id	No	String	Specifies the flavor ID of the gateway load balancer. If gw_flavor_id is not specified, the default flavor is used. The default flavor varies by site. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 36
ipv6_bandwidth	No	BandwidthRef object	Specifies the ID of the bandwidth used by an IPv6 address. This parameter is available only when you create or update a load balancer with a public IPv6 address. If you use a new IPv6 address and specify a shared bandwidth, the IPv6 address will be added to the shared bandwidth.
ip_target_enable	No	Boolean	Specifies whether to add backend servers that are not in the load balancer's VPC. If you enable this function, you can add servers in a peer VPC connected through a VPC peering connection, or in an on-premises data center at the other end of a Direct Connect or VPN connection, by using their IP addresses. The value can be true (IP as a Backend enabled) or false (IP as a Backend disabled). Note: The value can only be updated to true.
elb_virsubnet_ids	No	Array of strings	Specifies the IDs of subnets on the downstream plane. You can query parameter neutron_network_id in the response by calling the API (GET https://{VPC_Endpoint}/v1/{project_id}/subnets). If the IDs of the subnets required by the load balancer are specified in elb_virsubnet_ids, the subnets will still be bound to the load balancer. If the IDs of the subnets are specified in elb_virsubnet_ids, but not on the downstream plane, a new load balancer will be bound to the downstream plane. If the IDs of the subnets required by the load balancer are not specified in elb_virsubnet_ids, the subnets will be unbound from the load balancers. Do not unbound the subnets that have been used by the load balancer. Otherwise, an error will be returned. Note: All subnets belong to the same VPC where the load balancer resides. Edge subnets are not supported. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 64 Array Length: 0 - 64
deletion_protection_enable	No	Boolean	Specifies whether to enable deletion protection for the load balancer. true: Enable deletion protection. false: Disable deletion protection. NOTE: Disable deletion protection for all your resources before deleting your account. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.
autoscaling	No	UpdateLoadbalancerAutoscalingOption object	Specifies the information about elastic scaling. If elastic scaling is enabled, the load balancer specifications can be automatically adjusted based on incoming traffic. Note: This parameter is only available for users on the whitelist. If elastic scaling is enabled, l4_flavor_id indicates the maximum Layer-4 flavor for elastic scaling. l7_flavor_id indicates the maximum Layer-7 flavor for elastic scaling. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.
ipv6_vip_address	No	String	Specifies the IPv6 address bound to the load balancer.

**Table 5** BandwidthRef
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
id	Yes	String	Specifies the shared bandwidth ID.

**Table 6** UpdateLoadbalancerAutoscalingOption
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
enable	Yes	Boolean	Specifies whether to enable elastic scaling the load balancer. The options are as follows: true: Enable deletion protection. false: Disable deletion protection. Default: false
min_l7_flavor_id	No	String	Specifies the ID of the minimum Layer-7 flavor for elastic scaling. This parameter cannot be left blank if there are HTTP or HTTPS listeners. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 36
