Request Parameters

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

**Table 3** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
l7policy	Yes	UpdateL7PolicyOption object	Specifies the forwarding policy.

**Table 4** UpdateL7PolicyOption
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
admin_state_up	No	Boolean	Specifies the administrative status of the forwarding policy. The default value is true. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.
description	No	String	Provides supplementary information about the forwarding policy. Minimum: 0 Maximum: 255
name	No	String	Specifies the forwarding policy name. Minimum: 0 Maximum: 255
redirect_listener_id	No	String	Specifies the ID of the listener to which requests are redirected. Note: This parameter cannot be left blank or set to null when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER. The listener's protocol must be 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	Specifies the ID of the backend server group that requests will be forwarded to. This parameter is valid and mandatory only when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL. The specified backend server group cannot be the default backend server group associated with the listener, or any backend server group associated with the forwarding policies of other listeners. This parameter cannot be specified when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER.
redirect_url_config	No	UpdateRedirectUrlConfig object	Specifies the URL to which requests are forwarded. For dedicated load balancers, this parameter will take effect only when advanced forwarding is enabled (enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true). If it is passed when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, an error will be returned. This parameter is mandatory when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_URL. It cannot be specified if the value of action is not REDIRECT_TO_URL. Format: 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 inherited. 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. For shared load balancers, this parameter is unsupported. If it is passed, an error will be returned.
fixed_response_config	No	UpdateFixtedResponseConfig object	Specifies the configuration of the page that will be returned. This parameter will take effect 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 the value of action is not FIXED_RESPONSE. For shared load balancers, this parameter is unsupported. If it is passed, an error will be returned.
redirect_pools_extend_config	No	UpdateRedirectPoolsExtendConfig object	Specifies the backend server group that the requests are forwarded to.
rules	No	Array of CreateRuleOption objects	Lists the forwarding rules in the forwarding policy. The list can contain a maximum of 10 forwarding rules (if conditions is specified, a condition is considered as a rule). If type is set to HOST_NAME, PATH, METHOD, or SOURCE_IP, only one forwarding rule can be created for each type. For details, see the description of l7rule.
priority	No	Integer	Specifies the forwarding policy priority. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. The value must be unique for each forwarding policy of the same listener. This parameter is available only for dedicated load balancers and will take effect 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 action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the value can only be 0, indicating that REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER has the highest priority. If enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, forwarding policies are automatically prioritized based on the original sorting logic. Forwarding policy priorities are independent of each other regardless of domain names. If forwarding policies use the same domain name, their priorities follow the order of exact match (EQUAL_TO), prefix match (STARTS_WITH), and regular expression match (REGEX). If prefix match is used for matching, the longer the path, the higher the priority. If a forwarding policy contains only a domain name without a path specified, the path is /, and prefix match is used by default. If enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true and this parameter is not passed, the priority will set to a sum of 1 and the highest priority of existing forwarding policy in the same listener by default. There will be two cases: a) If the highest priority of existing forwarding policies is the maximum (10,000), the forwarding policy will fail to create because the final priority for creating the forwarding policy is the sum of 1 and 10,000, which exceeds the maximum. In this case, please specify a value or adjust the priorities of existing forwarding policies. b) If no forwarding policies exist, the highest priority of existing forwarding policies will be set to 1 by default. For shared load balancers, this parameter is unsupported. Minimum: 0 Maximum: 10000

Forwarding policy priorities are independent of each other regardless of domain names. If forwarding policies use the same domain name, their priorities follow the order of exact match (EQUAL_TO), prefix match (STARTS_WITH), and regular expression match (REGEX). If prefix match is used for matching, the longer the path, the higher the priority. If a forwarding policy contains only a domain name without a path specified, the path is /, and prefix match is used by default. If enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true and this parameter is not passed, the priority will set to a sum of 1 and the highest priority of existing forwarding policy in the same listener by default. There will be two cases: a) If the highest priority of existing forwarding policies is the maximum (10,000), the forwarding policy will fail to create because the final priority for creating the forwarding policy is the sum of 1 and 10,000, which exceeds the maximum.
