Batch Blocking and Canceling Batch Blocking of an IP Address or IP Address Range

Scenario

You can batch block access from blacklisted IP addresses, IAM users, or IP address ranges.

You can add an IP address, IAM user, or IP address range as blocked object for an emergency policy in several operation connections. If there is no need to block an IP address, IAM user, or IP address range for operation connections, you can cancel the blocking from all operation connections.

This section describes how to block or cancel blocking of IP addresses or IP address ranges in multiple connections.

Limitations and Constraints

If an IP address or IP address range or an IAM user is added to the blacklist, VPC and IAM will block requests from that IP address without checking whether the requests are malicious.
