IPv6 Gateway:List of operations by function

Last Updated:Feb 11, 2026

API standard and pre-built SDKs in multi-language

This product (Vpc/2016-04-28) OpenAPI adopts an RPC-style signature mechanism. For implementation details, please refer to the Signature Mechanism documentation.
To streamline development, we provide official SDKs for major programming languages. Using the SDK allows you to call APIs directly without worrying about low-level details such as request signatures, significantly lowering the barrier to entry and reducing integration complexity.

Custom signature

If your use case requires direct API integration with custom signatures, consult our technical support team first. Join our DingTalk support group (147535001692) to receive expert guidance.

Before you begin

An Alibaba Cloud account has full administrative privileges. A compromised AccessKey pair exposes all associated resources to unauthorized access, posing a significant security risk. To call APIs securely, create a Resource Access Management (RAM) user with API access only, configure its AccessKey pairs, and implement the principle of least privilege (PoLP) through RAM policies. Use the Alibaba Cloud account only when its permissions are explicitly required for specific scenarios.

IPv6 gateway

APITitleDescription
AllocateIpv6AddressAllocateIpv6AddressAssigns an IPv6 address.
ReleaseIpv6AddressReleaseIpv6AddressReleases an idle IPv6 address.
CreateIpv6GatewayCreateIpv6GatewayIPv6 gateways are used to control the IPv6 traffic of virtual private clouds (VPCs). You can call the CreateIpv6Gateway operation to create IPv6 gateways.
CreateIpv6EgressOnlyRuleCreateIpv6EgressOnlyRuleYou can call CreateIpv6EgressOnlyRule to create egress-only rules to enable ECS instances in VPCs that have IPv6 enabled to access IPv6 clients. However, IPv6 clients cannot access the ECS instances over the Internet.
DeleteIpv6GatewayDeleteIpv6GatewayDeletes an IPv6 gateway.
DeleteIpv6EgressOnlyRuleDeleteIpv6EgressOnlyRuleDeletes an egress-only rule.
DeleteIpv6InternetBandwidthDeleteIpv6InternetBandwidthDeletes Internet bandwidth.
ModifyIpv6InternetBandwidthModifyIpv6InternetBandwidthModifies the Internet bandwidth of an IPv6 address.
ModifyIpv6GatewayAttributeModifyIpv6GatewayAttributeModifies the name and description of an IPv6 gateway.
ModifyIpv6AddressAttributeModifyIpv6AddressAttributeModifies the name and description of an IPv6 address.
DescribeIpv6GatewaysDescribeIpv6GatewaysQueries IPv6 gateways in a region.
DescribeIpv6EgressOnlyRulesDescribeIpv6EgressOnlyRulesQueries egress-only rules.
DescribeIpv6AddressesDescribeIpv6AddressesQueries IPv6 addresses in a region.
DescribeIpv6GatewayAttributeDescribeIpv6GatewayAttributeQueries the information about an IPv6 gateway, including the region, virtual private cloud (VPC), status, and billing method.
AllocateIpv6InternetBandwidthAllocateIpv6InternetBandwidthDefault IPv6 gateways support only private communication. You can call the AllocateIpv6InternetBandwidth operation to purchase Internet bandwidth resources for an IPv6 address. This way, ECS instances in a VPC can access the Internet through the IPv6 address. IPv6 clients can also access the ECS instances over the Internet.
