Updating a Port

Function

This API is used to update a port.

Table 1 describes the parameters.

Table 1 Parameter description

Name

Mandatory

Description

port_id

Yes

Specifies the port ID, which uniquely identifies the port.

Request Parameters

Table 2 Request parameter

Parameter

Type

Mandatory

Description

port

port object

Yes

Specifies the port object list. For details, see Table 3.

You must specify at least one attribute when updating a port.

Table 3 port objects

Attribute

Mandatory

Type

Description

name

No

String

Specifies the port name.

security_groups

No

Array of strings

Specifies the UUID of the security group, for example, "security_groups": ["a0608cbf-d047-4f54-8b28-cd7b59853fff"]. This is an extended attribute.

This parameter cannot be left blank.

allowed_address_pairs

No

Array of allowed_address_pairs objects

Specifies the IP address and MAC address pair. This is an extended attribute. For details, see Table 4.

Instructions:

  • The IP address cannot be 0.0.0.0.
  • Configure a dedicated security group for the port if the parameter allowed_address_pairs has a large CIDR block (subnet mask less than 24).
  • If the value of allowed_address_pairs is 1.1.1.1/0, the source/destination check is disabled.
  • In the hardware SDN networking plan, the ip_address attribute value cannot be in CIDR format.
  • To assign a virtual IP address to an ECS, the IP address configured in allowed_address_pairs must be an existing ECS NIC IP address. Otherwise, the virtual IP address cannot be used for communication.
  • Set allowed_address_pairs of the cloud server to 1.1.1.1/0.

extra_dhcp_opts

No

Array of extra_dhcp_opt objects

Specifies the extended DHCP option. This is an extended attribute. For details, see Table 5.

binding:profile

No

Object

Specifies the user-defined settings. This is an extended attribute.

Instructions:

  • The internal_elb field is in boolean type and is available to common tenants. Set the value of this parameter to true only when you assign a virtual IP address to an internal network load balancer. Common tenants do not have the permission to change the value of this field, which is maintained by the system.

    Example:

    {"internal_elb": true}

  • The disable_security_groups field is in boolean type and is available to common tenants. The default value is false. In high-performance communication scenarios, you can set the parameter value to true, which makes this parameter to be available to common tenants. You can specify this parameter when creating a port. Currently, the value of this parameter can only be set to true.

    Example:

    {"disable_security_groups": true },

    Currently, the value can only be set to true. When the value is set to true, the FWaaS function does not take effect.

binding:vnic_type

No

String

Specifies the type of the bound vNIC.

normal: Softswitch

port_security_enabled

No

Boolean

Specifies whether the security option is enabled for the port. If the option is not enabled, the security group and DHCP snooping do not take effect.

  • Configure a dedicated security group for the port if the parameter allowed_address_pairs has a large CIDR block (subnet mask less than 24).
  • If the value of allowed_address_pairs is 1.1.1.1/0, the source/destination check is disabled.
  • Set allowed_address_pairs of the cloud server to 1.1.1.1/0.
  • If the value of parameter allowed_address_pairs is specified, parameter ip_address is mandatory.
