describe-address-transfers

Description

Describes an Elastic IP address transfer. For more information, see Transfer Elastic IP addresses in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide .

When you transfer an Elastic IP address, there is a two-step handshake between the source and transfer Amazon Web Services accounts. When the source account starts the transfer, the transfer account has seven days to accept the Elastic IP address transfer. During those seven days, the source account can view the pending transfer by using this action. After seven days, the transfer expires and ownership of the Elastic IP address returns to the source account. Accepted transfers are visible to the source account for three days after the transfers have been accepted.

See also: AWS API Documentation

describe-address-transfers is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: AddressTransfers

Options

--allocation-ids (list)

The allocation IDs of Elastic IP addresses.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--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 .

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command's output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To describe an Elastic IP address transfer

The following describe-address-transfers example describes the Elastic IP address transfer for the specified Elastic IP address.

aws ec2 describe-address-transfers \
    --allocation-ids eipalloc-09ad461b0d03f6aaf

Output:

{
    "AddressTransfers": [
        {
            "PublicIp": "100.21.184.216",
            "AllocationId": "eipalloc-09ad461b0d03f6aaf",
            "TransferAccountId": "123456789012",
            "TransferOfferExpirationTimestamp": "2023-02-22T22:51:01.000Z",
            "AddressTransferStatus": "pending"
        }
    ]
}

For more information, see Transfer Elastic IP addresses in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

Output

AddressTransfers -> (list)

The Elastic IP address transfer.

(structure)

Details on the Elastic IP address transfer. For more information, see Transfer Elastic IP addresses in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide .

PublicIp -> (string)

The Elastic IP address being transferred.

AllocationId -> (string)

The allocation ID of an Elastic IP address.

TransferAccountId -> (string)

The ID of the account that you want to transfer the Elastic IP address to.

TransferOfferExpirationTimestamp -> (timestamp)

The timestamp when the Elastic IP address transfer expired. When the source account starts the transfer, the transfer account has seven hours to allocate the Elastic IP address to complete the transfer, or the Elastic IP address will return to its original owner.

TransferOfferAcceptedTimestamp -> (timestamp)

The timestamp when the Elastic IP address transfer was accepted.

AddressTransferStatus -> (string)

The Elastic IP address transfer status.

NextToken -> (string)

Specify the pagination token from a previous request to retrieve the next page of results.
