/AWS1/CL_WA2=>CREATEIPSET()

About CreateIPSet

Creates an IPSet, which you use to identify web requests that originate from specific IP addresses or ranges of IP addresses. For example, if you're receiving a lot of requests from a ranges of IP addresses, you can configure WAF to block them using an IPSet that lists those IP addresses.

Method Signature

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

IV_NAME TYPE /AWS1/WA2ENTITYNAME /AWS1/WA2ENTITYNAME

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

IV_SCOPE TYPE /AWS1/WA2SCOPE /AWS1/WA2SCOPE

Specifies whether this is for an Amazon CloudFront distribution or for a regional application. A regional application can be an Application Load Balancer (ALB), an Amazon API Gateway REST API, an AppSync GraphQL API, an Amazon Cognito user pool, an App Runner service, or an Amazon Web Services Verified Access instance.

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.

IV_IPADDRESSVERSION TYPE /AWS1/WA2IPADDRESSVERSION /AWS1/WA2IPADDRESSVERSION

The version of the IP addresses, either IPV4 or IPV6.

IT_ADDRESSES TYPE /AWS1/CL_WA2IPADDRESSES_W=>TT_IPADDRESSES TT_IPADDRESSES

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

Optional arguments:

IV_DESCRIPTION TYPE /AWS1/WA2ENTITYDESCRIPTION /AWS1/WA2ENTITYDESCRIPTION

A description of the IP set that helps with identification.

IT_TAGS TYPE /AWS1/CL_WA2TAG=>TT_TAGLIST TT_TAGLIST

An array of key:value pairs to associate with the resource.
