update-security-group-rule-descriptions-egress¶

Description¶

[VPC only] Updates the description of an egress (outbound) security group rule. You can replace an existing description, or add a description to a rule that did not have one previously. You can remove a description for a security group rule by omitting the description parameter in the request.

Synopsis¶

  update-security-group-rule-descriptions-egress
[--dry-run | --no-dry-run]
[--group-id <value>]
[--group-name <value>]
[--ip-permissions <value>]
[--security-group-rule-descriptions <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--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 .

--group-id (string)

The ID of the security group. You must specify either the security group ID or the security group name in the request. For security groups in a nondefault VPC, you must specify the security group ID.

--group-name (string)

[Default VPC] The name of the security group. You must specify either the security group ID or the security group name in the request.

--ip-permissions (list)

The IP permissions for the security group rule. You must specify either the IP permissions or the description.

(structure)

Describes a set of permissions for a security group rule.

FromPort -> (integer)

The start of port range for the TCP and UDP protocols, or an ICMP/ICMPv6 type number. A value of -1 indicates all ICMP/ICMPv6 types. If you specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 types, you must specify all codes.

IpProtocol -> (string)

The IP protocol name (tcp , udp , icmp , icmpv6 ) or number (see Protocol Numbers ).

[VPC only] Use -1 to specify all protocols. When authorizing security group rules, specifying -1 or a protocol number other than tcp , udp , icmp , or icmpv6 allows traffic on all ports, regardless of any port range you specify. For tcp , udp , and icmp , you must specify a port range. For icmpv6 , the port range is optional; if you omit the port range, traffic for all types and codes is allowed.

IpRanges -> (list)

The IPv4 ranges.

(structure)

Describes an IPv4 range.

CidrIp -> (string)

The IPv4 CIDR range. You can either specify a CIDR range or a source security group, not both. To specify a single IPv4 address, use the /32 prefix length.

Description -> (string)

A description for the security group rule that references this IPv4 address range.

Constraints: Up to 255 characters in length. Allowed characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, spaces, and ._-:/()#,@[]+=&;{}!$*

Ipv6Ranges -> (list)

[VPC only] The IPv6 ranges.

(structure)

[EC2-VPC only] Describes an IPv6 range.

CidrIpv6 -> (string)

The IPv6 CIDR range. You can either specify a CIDR range or a source security group, not both. To specify a single IPv6 address, use the /128 prefix length.

Description -> (string)

A description for the security group rule that references this IPv6 address range.

Constraints: Up to 255 characters in length. Allowed characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, spaces, and ._-:/()#,@[]+=&;{}!$*

PrefixListIds -> (list)

[VPC only] The prefix list IDs.

(structure)

Describes a prefix list ID.

Description -> (string)

A description for the security group rule that references this prefix list ID.

Constraints: Up to 255 characters in length. Allowed characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, spaces, and ._-:/()#,@[]+=;{}!$*

PrefixListId -> (string)

The ID of the prefix.

ToPort -> (integer)

The end of port range for the TCP and UDP protocols, or an ICMP/ICMPv6 code. A value of -1 indicates all ICMP/ICMPv6 codes. If you specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 types, you must specify all codes.

UserIdGroupPairs -> (list)

The security group and Amazon Web Services account ID pairs.

(structure)

Describes a security group and Amazon Web Services account ID pair.

Description -> (string)

A description for the security group rule that references this user ID group pair.

Constraints: Up to 255 characters in length. Allowed characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, spaces, and ._-:/()#,@[]+=;{}!$*

GroupId -> (string)

The ID of the security group.

GroupName -> (string)

The name of the security group. In a request, use this parameter for a security group in EC2-Classic or a default VPC only. For a security group in a nondefault VPC, use the security group ID.

For a referenced security group in another VPC, this value is not returned if the referenced security group is deleted.

PeeringStatus -> (string)

The status of a VPC peering connection, if applicable.

UserId -> (string)

The ID of an Amazon Web Services account.

For a referenced security group in another VPC, the account ID of the referenced security group is returned in the response. If the referenced security group is deleted, this value is not returned.

[EC2-Classic] Required when adding or removing rules that reference a security group in another Amazon Web Services account.

VpcId -> (string)

The ID of the VPC for the referenced security group, if applicable.

VpcPeeringConnectionId -> (string)

The ID of the VPC peering connection, if applicable.

--security-group-rule-descriptions (list)

The description for the egress security group rules. You must specify either the description or the IP permissions.

(structure)

Describes the description of a security group rule.

You can use this when you want to update the security group rule description for either an inbound or outbound rule.

SecurityGroupRuleId -> (string)

The ID of the security group rule.

Description -> (string)

The description of the security group rule.

Shorthand Syntax:

--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.

Examples¶

To update the description of an outbound security group rule

The following update-security-group-rule-descriptions-egress example updates the description for the security group rule for the specified port and IPv4 address range. The description ‘Outbound HTTP access to server 2’ replaces any existing description for the rule.

aws ec2 update-security-group-rule-descriptions-egress \
    --group-id sg-02f0d35a850ba727f \
    --ip-permissions IpProtocol=tcp,FromPort=80,ToPort=80,IpRanges=[{CidrIp=203.0.113.0/24,Description="Outbound HTTP access to server 2"}]

Output:

{
    "Return": true
}

For more information, see Security group rules in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Output¶

Return -> (boolean)

Returns true if the request succeeds; otherwise, returns an error.
