  • 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.

Notes and constraints:

  • 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.

  • If this parameter is specified when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, an error will be reported.

redirect_pools_config

No

Array of UpdateRedirectPoolsConfig objects

Notes and constraints:

A maximum of 5 backend server groups can be configured for a forwarding policy.

redirect_pools_sticky_session_config

No

UpdateRedirectPoolsStickySessionConfig object

Specifies whether to enable sticky session for backend server groups configured for a forwarding policy. The load balancer generates a cookie after it receives a request from a client. All subsequent requests with the same cookie are routed to the same backend server groups.

This parameter is unsupported for shared load balancers. If it is passed, an error will be returned.

redirect_url_config

No

UpdateRedirectUrlConfig object

Specifies the URL to which requests are forwarded.

Notes and constraints:

  • 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.

  • For shared load balancers, this parameter is unsupported. If it is passed, an error will be returned.

  • 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 used. 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.

Value format: protocol://host:port/path?query

fixed_response_config

No

UpdateFixtedResponseConfig object

Specifies the configuration of the page that will be returned.

Notes and constraints:

  • 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.

Notes and constraints:

  • Each 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.

  • The entire list will be replaced if you update it.

priority

No

Integer

Specifies the forwarding policy priority. A smaller value indicates a higher priority.

Value ranges:

  • If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the priority ranges from 0 to 10,000.

  • If action is set to other values, the priority ranges from 1 to 10,000.

Default values:

  • If this parameter is not passed and enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, the priority of the new forwarding policy is 1.

  • If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the priority of the new forwarding policy is 0.

  • If action is set to other values, the priority of the new forwarding policy will be a sum of 1 and the highest priority of existing forwarding policy in the same listener by default.

    • If no forwarding policies exist, the priority of the new forwarding policy will be 1 by default.

    • If the highest priority of existing forwarding policies is the maximum value (10,000), the forwarding policy will fail to be created because the final priority for creating the forwarding policy is the sum of 1 and 10,000, which exceeds the maximum value. In this case, specify a value or adjust the priorities of existing forwarding policies.

Notes and constraints:

  • The value must be unique for forwarding policies of the same listener.

  • This parameter takes effect only 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 enhance_l7policy_enable is not enabled, forwarding policies are automatically prioritized based on the original policy sorting logic. The priorities of domain names are independent from each other. For the same domain name, the priorities are sorted in the order of exact match (EQUAL_TO), prefix match (STARTS_WITH), and regular expression match (REGEX). If the matching types are the same, the longer the path is, the higher the priority is. If a forwarding policy contains only a domain name without a path specified, the path is /, and prefix match is used by default.

This parameter is supported by forwarding policies of shared load balancers.
