Server Load Balancer:UpdateLoadBalancerAddressTypeConfig

Last Updated:Aug 28, 2026

Changes the network type of the IPv4 address for a Network Load Balancer (NLB) instance.

Operation description

  • Make sure that an NLB instance is created. For more information, see CreateLoadBalancer.

  • You can call the GetLoadBalancerAttribute operation to query the AddressType value of an NLB instance after you change the network type.

  • UpdateLoadBalancerAddressTypeConfig 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 GetJobStatus operation to query the task status:

    • If the task is in the Succeeded state, the network type of the IPv4 address of the NLB instance is changed.

    • If the task is in the Processing state, the network type of the IPv4 address of the NLB instance is being changed. In this case, you can perform only query operations.

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

LoadBalancerId

string

Yes

The ID of the NLB instance.

nlb-83ckzc8d4xlp8o****

AddressType

string

Yes

The new network type. Valid values:

  • Internet: The nodes of an Internet-facing NLB instance have public IP addresses. The DNS name of an Internet-facing NLB instance is publicly resolvable to the public IP addresses of the nodes. Therefore, Internet-facing NLB instances can route requests from clients over the Internet.

  • Intranet: The nodes of an internal-facing NLB instance have only private IP addresses. The DNS name of an internal-facing NLB instance is publicly resolvable to the private IP addresses of the nodes. Therefore, internal-facing NLB instances can route requests only from clients with access to the virtual private cloud (VPC) for the NLB instance.

Internet

ZoneMappings

array<object>

No

The mappings between zones and vSwitches. You can specify up to 10 zones.

object

No

The mapping between the zone and a vSwitch in the zone.

VSwitchId

string

No

The ID of the vSwitch in the zone. You can specify only one vSwitch (subnet) in each zone of an NLB instance.

vsw-bp10ttov87felojcn****

ZoneId

string

No

The zone ID of the NLB instance.

You can call the DescribeZones operation to query the most recent zone list.

cn-hangzhou-a

AllocationId

string

No

The ID of the elastic IP address (EIP).

eip-bp1aedxso6u80u0qf****

EipType

string

No

The type of the EIP. Valid values:

  • Common: an EIP

  • Anycast: an Anycast EIP

Note

This parameter is required only if AddressType is set to Internet.

Common

DryRun

boolean

No

Perform a dry run without actually making the request. Valid values are:

  • true: Perform 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 check, an error message specifying the issue is returned. If the request passes, the DryRunOperation error code is returned.

  • false (default): Check the request and perform the operation. If the request passes the check, a 2xx HTTP status code is returned, and the operation is performed.

false

ClientToken

string

No

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

You can use the client to generate this value. Ensure that the value is unique among all requests. Only ASCII characters are allowed.

Note

If you do not specify this parameter, the value of RequestId is used.**** RequestId of each request is different.

123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000

RegionId

string

No

The region ID of the NLB instance.

You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.
