VPN Gateway:ModifyVpnPbrRouteEntryWeight

Last Updated:Jul 16, 2026

Modifies the weight of a VPN policy-based route.

Operation description

Note

This operation applies only to VPN gateway instances that support IPsec-VPN connections in single-tunnel mode. For VPN gateway instances that support IPsec-VPN connections in dual-tunnel mode, the weight does not take effect even if this operation is called successfully.

  • If active/standby policy-based routes exist on a VPN gateway instance and you want to modify the weight of the active policy-based route, delete the standby policy-based route first, modify the active policy-based route, and then reconfigure the standby policy-based route. If you want to modify the weight of the standby policy-based route, delete the active policy-based route first, modify the standby policy-based route, and then reconfigure the active policy-based route. To delete a policy-based route, invoke DeleteVpnPbrRouteEntry.

  • ModifyVpnPbrRouteEntryWeight is an asynchronous operation. After a request is sent, the system returns a request ID and runs the node in the background. You can invoke DescribeVpnGateway to query the instance status of the VPN gateway to 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.

  • ModifyVpnPbrRouteEntryWeight does not support concurrent modifications of policy-based routes on 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 DescribeRegions to query the most recent region list.

cn-hangzhou

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 client token can contain only ASCII characters.

Note

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

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 policy-based route serves as the active connection.

  • 0: The IPsec-VPN connection associated with the policy-based route serves as the standby connection.

0

NewWeight

integer

Yes

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

  • 100: The IPsec-VPN connection associated with the policy-based route serves as the active connection.

  • 0: The IPsec-VPN connection associated with the policy-based route serves as the standby connection.

100

OverlayMode

string

No

The tunneling protocol. Set the value to Ipsec (IPsec tunneling protocol).

Ipsec

Priority

integer

No

Policy priority of the policy-based route.

  • If no priority was previously configured for the policy-based route, you do not need to specify this parameter.

  • If a priority was previously configured for the policy-based route, you can specify or skip this parameter.

    If you specify this parameter, enter policy priority that was previously configured for the policy-based route. If you enter a different value, the operation fails.
