Request parameters

**Table 2** Parameter description
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	Yes	String	Specifies the load balancer name. The value can contain 1 to 64 characters that consist of letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
description	No	String	Provides supplementary information about the load balancer. The value contains 0 to 128 characters and cannot contain angle brackets (< and >).
vpc_id	Yes	String	Specifies the VPC ID.
bandwidth	No	Integer	Specifies the bandwidth (Mbit/s). This parameter is mandatory when type is set to External. The value ranges from 1 to 1000. (The specific range may vary depending on the configuration in each region. You can see the bandwidth range of each region on the management console.)
type	Yes	String	Specifies the network type of the load balancer. The value is Internal or External.
admin_state_up	Yes	Integer/Boolean	Specifies the administrative status of the load balancer. Optional values: 0 or false: indicates that the load balancer is stopped. Only users are allowed to enter the two values. 1 or true indicates that the load balancer is running properly. 2 or false indicates that the load balancer is frozen. Only the administrator is allowed to enter the two values.
vip_subnet_id	No	String	Specifies the subnet ID of backend ECSs. This parameter is mandatory when type is set to Internal. Only IPv4 subnets can be specified.
az	No	String	Specifies the AZ of the load balancer. This parameter is invalid when type is set to External and is optional when type is set to Internal. If type is set to Internal and an AZ is specified, the specified AZ must support private network load balancers. Otherwise, an error message is returned. For more details, see Regions and Endpoints.
charge_mode	No	String	Specifies how a new elastic IP address (EIP) is billed. This is a reserved parameter. If the system supports billing by traffic and this parameter is specified, the EIP will be billed by traffic. Specifies whether the EIP is billed by traffic or fixed bandwidth. The value is traffic.
eip_type	No	String	This parameter is reserved.
security_group_id	No	String	Specifies the security group ID. The value can contain 1 to 200 characters that consists of letters, digits, and hyphens (-). This parameter is mandatory if the value of type is Internal, while it is ignored when the value of type is External.
vip_address	No	String	Specifies the private IP address of the load balancer. When type is set to External, the parameter value is the EIP. When type is set to Internal, the parameter value is the private network IP address. You can select an existing EIP to create a public network load balancer. When this parameter is configured, parameters bandwidth, charge_mode, and eip_type are invalid.
tenantId	No	String	Specifies the project ID. This parameter is mandatory when type is set to Internal.
