Last Updated:Mar 27, 2026

Modifies an Express Connect circuit.

Operation description

When you call this operation, take note of the following limits:

  • If an Express Connect circuit is in the Initial, Enabled, or Rejected state, you can modify the specifications of the Express Connect circuit and the ID of the redundant circuit.
  • If an Express Connect circuit is in the Canceled, Allocating, AllocationFailed, or Terminated state, you cannot modify the specifications of the Express Connect circuit.
  • After you modify the specifications of an Express Connect circuit that is in the Rejected state, the Express Connect circuit enters the Initial state.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

  • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
  • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
  • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
    • For mandatory resource types, indicate with a prefix of * .
