UpdateIPSetCommand

Updates the specified IPSet.

This operation completely replaces the mutable specifications that you already have for the IP set with the ones that you provide to this call.

To modify an IP set, do the following:

  1. Retrieve it by calling GetIPSet

  2. Update its settings as needed

  3. Provide the complete IP set specification to this call

Temporary inconsistencies during updates

When you create or change a web ACL or other WAF resources, the changes take a small amount of time to propagate to all areas where the resources are stored. The propagation time can be from a few seconds to a number of minutes.

The following are examples of the temporary inconsistencies that you might notice during change propagation:

  • After you create a web ACL, if you try to associate it with a resource, you might get an exception indicating that the web ACL is unavailable.

  • After you add a rule group to a web ACL, the new rule group rules might be in effect in one area where the web ACL is used and not in another.

  • After you change a rule action setting, you might see the old action in some places and the new action in others.

  • After you add an IP address to an IP set that is in use in a blocking rule, the new address might be blocked in one area while still allowed in another.

Example Syntax

Use a bare-bones client and the command you need to make an API call.

import { WAFV2Client, UpdateIPSetCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-wafv2"; // ES Modules import
// const { WAFV2Client, UpdateIPSetCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-wafv2"); // CommonJS import
const client = new WAFV2Client(config);
const input = { // UpdateIPSetRequest
  Name: "STRING_VALUE", // required
  Scope: "CLOUDFRONT" || "REGIONAL", // required
  Id: "STRING_VALUE", // required
  Description: "STRING_VALUE",
  Addresses: [ // IPAddresses // required
    "STRING_VALUE",
  ],
  LockToken: "STRING_VALUE", // required
};
const command = new UpdateIPSetCommand(input);
const response = await client.send(command);
// { // UpdateIPSetResponse
//   NextLockToken: "STRING_VALUE",
// };

UpdateIPSetCommand Input

See UpdateIPSetCommandInput for more details

Parameter
Type
Description
Addresses
Required
string[] | undefined

Contains an array of strings that specifies zero or more IP addresses or blocks of IP addresses that you want WAF to inspect for in incoming requests. All addresses must be specified using Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation. WAF supports all IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR ranges except for /0.

Example address strings:

  • For requests that originated from the IP address 192.0.2.44, specify 192.0.2.44/32.

  • For requests that originated from IP addresses from 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255, specify 192.0.2.0/24.

  • For requests that originated from the IP address 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111, specify 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128.

  • For requests that originated from IP addresses 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to 1111:0000:0000:0000:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff, specify 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/64.

For more information about CIDR notation, see the Wikipedia entry Classless Inter-Domain Routing .

Example JSON Addresses specifications:

  • Empty array: "Addresses": []

  • Array with one address: "Addresses": ["192.0.2.44/32"]

  • Array with three addresses: "Addresses": ["192.0.2.44/32", "192.0.2.0/24", "192.0.0.0/16"]

  • INVALID specification: "Addresses": [""] INVALID

Id
Required
string | undefined

A unique identifier for the set. This ID is returned in the responses to create and list commands. You provide it to operations like update and delete.

LockToken
Required
string | undefined

A token used for optimistic locking. WAF returns a token to your get and list requests, to mark the state of the entity at the time of the request. To make changes to the entity associated with the token, you provide the token to operations like update and delete. WAF uses the token to ensure that no changes have been made to the entity since you last retrieved it. If a change has been made, the update fails with a WAFOptimisticLockException. If this happens, perform another get, and use the new token returned by that operation.

Name
Required
string | undefined

The name of the IP set. You cannot change the name of an IPSet after you create it.

Scope
Required
Scope | undefined

Specifies whether this is for a global resource type, such as a Amazon CloudFront distribution. For an Amplify application, use CLOUDFRONT.

To work with CloudFront, you must also specify the Region US East (N. Virginia) as follows:

  • CLI - Specify the Region when you use the CloudFront scope: --scope=CLOUDFRONT --region=us-east-1.

  • API and SDKs - For all calls, use the Region endpoint us-east-1.

Description
string | undefined

A description of the IP set that helps with identification.

UpdateIPSetCommand Output

See UpdateIPSetCommandOutput for details

Parameter
Type
Description
$metadata
Required
ResponseMetadata
Metadata pertaining to this request.
NextLockToken
string | undefined

A token used for optimistic locking. WAF returns this token to your update requests. You use NextLockToken in the same manner as you use LockToken.

Throws

Name
Fault
Details
WAFDuplicateItemException
client

WAF couldn’t perform the operation because the resource that you tried to save is a duplicate of an existing one.

WAFInternalErrorException
server

Your request is valid, but WAF couldn’t perform the operation because of a system problem. Retry your request.

WAFInvalidOperationException
client

The operation isn't valid.

WAFInvalidParameterException
client

The operation failed because WAF didn't recognize a parameter in the request. For example:

  • You specified a parameter name or value that isn't valid.

  • Your nested statement isn't valid. You might have tried to nest a statement that can’t be nested.

  • You tried to update a WebACL with a DefaultAction that isn't among the types available at DefaultAction.

  • Your request references an ARN that is malformed, or corresponds to a resource with which a web ACL can't be associated.

WAFLimitsExceededException
client

WAF couldn’t perform the operation because you exceeded your resource limit. For example, the maximum number of WebACL objects that you can create for an Amazon Web Services account. For more information, see WAF quotas  in the WAF Developer Guide.

WAFNonexistentItemException
client

WAF couldn’t perform the operation because your resource doesn't exist. If you've just created a resource that you're using in this operation, you might just need to wait a few minutes. It can take from a few seconds to a number of minutes for changes to propagate.

WAFOptimisticLockException
client

WAF couldn’t save your changes because you tried to update or delete a resource that has changed since you last retrieved it. Get the resource again, make any changes you need to make to the new copy, and retry your operation.

WAFV2ServiceException
Base exception class for all service exceptions from WAFV2 service.
