Server Load Balancer:DisableLoadBalancerIpv6Internet

Last Updated:Jan 15, 2026

Changes the type of the IPv6 address that is used by a dual-stack Application Load Balancer (ALB) instance from public to private.

Operation description

Prerequisites

An ALB instance is created and IPv4/IPv6 dual stack is enabled for the instance. You can call the CreateLoadBalancer operation and set AddressIpVersion to DualStack to create a dual-stack ALB instance.

Note

If you set AddressIpVersion to DualStack:

  • If you set AddressType to Internet, the ALB instance uses a public IPv4 IP address and a private IPv6 address.

  • If you set AddressType to Intranet, the ALB instance uses a private IPv4 IP address and a private IPv6 address.

Description

  • After the DisableLoadBalancerIpv6Internet operation is called, the value of Ipv6AddressType is changed to Intranet and the type of the IPv6 address of the ALB instance is changed from public to private. If you upgrade the instance or the instance scales elastic network interfaces (ENIs) along with workloads, private IPv6 addresses are automatically enabled for the instance and the new ENIs. You can call the GetLoadBalancerAttribute operation to query the value of Ipv6AddressType.

  • DisableLoadBalancerIpv6Internet is an asynchronous operation. After a request is sent, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call the GetLoadBalancerAttribute operation to query the status of the task.

    • If the ALB instance is in the Configuring state, the network type of the IPv6 address that is used by the ALB instance is being changed.

    • If the ALB instance is in the Active state, the network type of the IPv6 address that is used by the ALB instance is changed.

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.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

ClientToken

string

No

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request.

You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters.

Note

If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the request ID as the client token. The request ID may be different for each request.

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 system checks the request for potential issues, including missing parameter values, incorrect request syntax, 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, a 2xx HTTP status code is returned and the operation is performed.

false

LoadBalancerId

string

Yes

The ALB instance ID.
