Elastic IP Address:DeletePublicIpAddressPoolCidrBlock

Last Updated:Jun 19, 2026

Deletes a CIDR block from an IP address pool by calling the DeletePublicIpAddressPoolCidrBlock operation.

Operation description

Before you call this operation, take note of the following items:

  • Before you delete a CIDR block, make sure that the CIDR block is not in use.

  • DeletePublicIpAddressPoolCidrBlock is an asynchronous operation. After a request is sent, the system returns a request ID and runs the deletion task in the background. You can call ListPublicIpAddressPoolCidrBlocks to query the status of the CIDR block in the IP address pool.
    • If the CIDR block is in the Deleting state, the CIDR block is being deleted. In this state, you can only perform query operations.

    • If the CIDR block cannot be found, the CIDR block is deleted.

  • DeletePublicIpAddressPoolCidrBlock does not support concurrent deletion of the same CIDR block.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform only a dry run, without performing the actual request. Valid values:

  • true: performs only a dry run. The CIDR block is not deleted. The system checks the required parameters, request format, and service limits. If the request fails the dry run, an error message is returned. If the request passes the dry run, the DryRunOperation error code is returned.

  • false (default): performs a dry run and performs the actual request. If the request passes the dry run, an HTTP 2xx status code is returned and the operation is performed.
