VPN Gateway:ModifyVpnPbrRouteEntryWeight

Last Updated:Oct 08, 2026

Modifies the weight of a VPN policy-based route.

Operation description

Note

This operation is applicable only to VPN gateway instances that support single-tunnel IPsec-VPN connections. For VPN gateway instances that support dual-tunnel IPsec-VPN connections, the modified weight does not take effect even if the operation is successful.

  • In scenarios where active and standby policy-based routing exists under a VPN gateway instance, if you want to modify the weight of the active policy-based routing, you must first delete the standby policy-based routing. After the active policy-based routing is modified, reconfigure the standby policy-based routing. If you want to modify the weight of the standby policy-based routing, you must first delete the active policy-based routing. After the standby policy-based routing is modified, reconfigure the active policy-based routing. To delete policy-based routing, refer to DeleteVpnPbrRouteEntry.

  • ModifyVpnPbrRouteEntryWeight is an asynchronous operation. The system returns a request ID, but the policy-based routing is not immediately modified. The modification node is still running in the background. You can invoke the DescribeVpnGateway operation to query the instance status of the VPN gateway and determine the modification status of the policy-based routing:
    • If the VPN gateway instance is in the updating state, the policy-based routing is being modified.

    • If the VPN gateway instance is in the active state, the policy-based routing is modified.

  • The ModifyVpnPbrRouteEntryWeight operation does not support concurrent modification of policy-based routing under the same VPN gateway instance.

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

RegionId

string

Yes

The region ID of the VPN gateway instance. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query region IDs.

cn-hangzhou

ClientToken

string

No

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

You can generate the parameter value from your client to ensure that the value is unique across different requests. The client token supports only ASCII characters.

Note

If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the RequestId of the API request as the ClientToken. The RequestId of each API request is unique.

VpnGatewayId

string

Yes

The instance ID of the VPN gateway.

vpn-bp1a3kqjiiq9legfx****

RouteSource

string

Yes

The source CIDR block of the policy-based route.

192.168.1.0/24

RouteDest

string

Yes

The destination CIDR block of the policy-based route.

10.0.0.0/24

NextHop

string

Yes

The next hop of the policy-based route.

vco-bp15oes1py4i66rmd****

Weight

integer

Yes

The original weight of the policy-based route. Valid values:

  • 100: The IPsec-VPN connection associated with the current policy-based route is the active link.

  • 0: The IPsec-VPN connection associated with the current policy-based route is the standby link.

0

NewWeight

integer

Yes

The new weight of the policy-based route. Valid values:

  • 100: The IPsec-VPN connection associated with the current policy-based route is the active link.

  • 0: The IPsec-VPN connection associated with the current policy-based route is the standby link.

100

OverlayMode

string

No

The tunnel protocol. Valid value: Ipsec (IPsec tunnel protocol).

Ipsec

Priority

integer

No

Policy priority of the policy-based route.

  • If the policy-based route does not have a priority, you do not need to specify this parameter.

  • If the policy-based route has a priority, you can specify or leave this parameter empty.

    If you specify this parameter, you must set it to policy priority that is already configured for the policy-based route. If you set it to another value, the call to this operation fails.
