describe-network-interface-attribute

Description

Describes a network interface attribute. You can specify only one attribute at a time.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  describe-network-interface-attribute
[--attribute <value>]
[--dry-run | --no-dry-run]
--network-interface-id <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--attribute (string)

The attribute of the network interface. This parameter is required.

Possible values:

• description

• groupSet

• sourceDestCheck

• attachment

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (boolean)

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .

--network-interface-id (string)

The ID of the network interface.

--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.

Output:

{
  "NetworkInterfaceId": "eni-686ea200",
  "Description": {
      "Value": "My description"
  }
}

To describe the groupSet attribute of a network interface

This example command describes the groupSet attribute of the specified network interface.

Output:

{
  "NetworkInterfaceId": "eni-686ea200",
  "Groups": [
      {
          "GroupName": "my-security-group",
          "GroupId": "sg-903004f8"
      }
  ]
}

To describe the sourceDestCheck attribute of a network interface

This example command describes the sourceDestCheck attribute of the specified network interface.

Command:

aws ec2 describe-network-interface-attribute --network-interface-id eni-686ea200 --attribute sourceDestCheck

Output:

{
  "NetworkInterfaceId": "eni-686ea200",
  "SourceDestCheck": {
      "Value": true
  }
}
