Note
This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.
For the latest version of AWS WAF , use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide . With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.
Inserts or deletes IPSetDescriptor objects in an IPSet
. For each IPSetDescriptor
object, you specify the following values:
Whether to insert or delete the object from the array. If you want to change an IPSetDescriptor
object, you delete the existing object and add a new one.
The IP address version, IPv4
or IPv6
.
The IP address in CIDR notation, for example, 192.0.2.0/24
(for the range of IP addresses from 192.0.2.0
to 192.0.2.255
) or 192.0.2.44/32
(for the individual IP address 192.0.2.44
).
AWS WAF supports IPv4 address ranges: /8 and any range between /16 through /32. AWS WAF supports IPv6 address ranges: /24, /32, /48, /56, /64, and /128. For more information about CIDR notation, see the Wikipedia entry Classless Inter-Domain Routing .
IPv6 addresses can be represented using any of the following formats:
1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128
1111:0:0:0:0:0:0:0111/128
1111::0111/128
1111::111/128
You use an IPSet
to specify which web requests you want to allow or block based on the IP addresses that the requests originated from. For example, if you’re receiving a lot of requests from one or a small number of IP addresses and you want to block the requests, you can create an IPSet
that specifies those IP addresses, and then configure AWS WAF to block the requests.
To create and configure an IPSet
, perform the following steps:
Submit a CreateIPSet request.
Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken
parameter of an UpdateIPSet request.
Submit an UpdateIPSet
request to specify the IP addresses that you want AWS WAF to watch for.
When you update an IPSet
, you specify the IP addresses that you want to add and/or the IP addresses that you want to delete. If you want to change an IP address, you delete the existing IP address and add the new one.
You can insert a maximum of 1000 addresses in a single request.
For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide .

Specifies the type of update to perform to an IPSet with UpdateIPSet .
Action -> (string)
Specifies whether to insert or delete an IP address with UpdateIPSet .

.Value -> (string)
Specify an IPv4 address by using CIDR notation. For example:
To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from the IP address 192.0.2.44, specify
192.0.2.44/32
.To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from IP addresses from 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255, specify
192.0.2.0/24
.For more information about CIDR notation, see the Wikipedia entry Classless Inter-Domain Routing .
Specify an IPv6 address by using CIDR notation. For example:
To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from the IP address 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111, specify

--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
To update an IP set
The following update-ip-set
command updates an IPSet with an IPv4 address and deletes an IPv6 address:
aws waf update-ip-set --ip-set-id a123fae4-b567-8e90-1234-5ab67ac8ca90 --change-token 12cs345-67cd-890b-1cd2-c3a4567d89f1 --updates Action="INSERT",IPSetDescriptor={Type="IPV4",Value="12.34.56.78/16"},Action="DELETE",IPSetDescriptor={Type="IPV6",Value="1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128"}
Alternatively you can use a JSON file to specify the input. For example:
aws waf update-ip-set --ip-set-id a123fae4-b567-8e90-1234-5ab67ac8ca90 --change-token 12cs345-67cd-890b-1cd2-c3a4567d89f1 --updates file://change.json
Where content of the JSON file is:
[
{
"Action": "INSERT",
"IPSetDescriptor":
{
"Type": "IPV4",
"Value": "12.34.56.78/16"
}
},
{
"Action": "DELETE",
"IPSetDescriptor":
{
"Type": "IPV6",
"Value": "1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128"
}
}
]
For more information, see Working with IP Match Conditions in the AWS WAF developer guide.
ChangeToken -> (string)
The
ChangeToken
that you used to submit theUpdateIPSet
request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus .
