RevokeSecurityGroupEgress

Description

Removes one or more egress rules from a security group for EC2-VPC. The values that you specify in the revoke request (for example, ports) must match the existing rule's values for the rule to be revoked.

Each rule consists of the protocol and the CIDR range or destination security group. For the TCP and UDP protocols, you must also specify the destination port or range of ports. For the ICMP protocol, you must also specify the ICMP type and code.

Rule changes are propagated to instances within the security group as quickly as possible. However, a small delay might occur.

For more information, see Security Groups in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

Request Parameters

GroupId

The ID of the security group to modify.

Type: String

Default: None

Required: Yes

IpPermissions.n.IpProtocol

The IP protocol name or number (see Protocol Numbers).

When you call DescribeSecurityGroups, the protocol value returned is the number. Exception: For TCP, UDP, and ICMP, the value returned is the name (for example, tcp, udp, or icmp).

Type: String

Valid values: tcp | udp | icmp or any protocol number (see Protocol Numbers). Use -1 to specify all.

Required: Yes

IpPermissions.n.FromPort

The start of port range for the TCP and UDP protocols, or an ICMP type number. For the ICMP type number, you can use -1 to specify all ICMP types.

Type: Integer

Default: None

Required: Conditional

Condition: Required for ICMP and any protocol that uses ports

IpPermissions.n.ToPort

The end of port range for the TCP and UDP protocols, or an ICMP code number. For the ICMP code number, you can use -1 to specify all ICMP codes for the given ICMP type.

Type: Integer

Default: None

Required: Conditional

Condition: Required for ICMP and any protocol that uses ports

IpPermissions.n.Groups.m.GroupId

The name of the destination security group. Cannot be used when specifying a CIDR IP address.

Type: String

Default: None

Condition: Required if modifying access for one or more destination security groups.

Required: Conditional

IpPermissions.n.IpRanges.m.CidrIp

The CIDR range. Cannot be used when specifying a destination security group.

requestId

The ID of the request.

Type: xsd:string

return

Returns true if the request succeeds. Otherwise, returns an error.

Type: xsd:boolean
