gcp_compute_forwarding_rule

all_ports

Type: BOOLEAN
Provider name: allPorts
Description: This field can only be used: - If IPProtocol is one of TCP, UDP, or SCTP. - By internal TCP/UDP load balancers, backend service-based network load balancers, and internal and external protocol forwarding. Set this field to true to allow packets addressed to any port or packets lacking destination port information (for example, UDP fragments after the first fragment) to be forwarded to the backends configured with this forwarding rule. The ports, port_range, and allPorts fields are mutually exclusive.

allow_global_access

Type: BOOLEAN
Provider name: allowGlobalAccess
Description: This field is used along with the backend_service field for internal load balancing or with the target field for internal TargetInstance. If set to true, clients can access the Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancer, Internal HTTP(S) and TCP Proxy Load Balancer from all regions. If false, only allows access from the local region the load balancer is located at. Note that for INTERNAL_MANAGED forwarding rules, this field cannot be changed after the forwarding rule is created.

allow_psc_global_access

Type: BOOLEAN
Provider name: allowPscGlobalAccess
Description: This is used in PSC consumer ForwardingRule to control whether the PSC endpoint can be accessed from another region.

ancestors

Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRING

backend_service

Type: STRING
Provider name: backendService
Description: Identifies the backend service to which the forwarding rule sends traffic. Required for Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancing and Network Load Balancing; must be omitted for all other load balancer types.

base_forwarding_rule

Type: STRING
Provider name: baseForwardingRule
Description: [Output Only] The URL for the corresponding base Forwarding Rule. By base Forwarding Rule, we mean the Forwarding Rule that has the same IP address, protocol, and port settings with the current Forwarding Rule, but without sourceIPRanges specified. Always empty if the current Forwarding Rule does not have sourceIPRanges specified.

creation_timestamp

Type: TIMESTAMP
Provider name: creationTimestamp
Description: [Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

description

Type: STRING
Provider name: description
Description: An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.

id

Type: STRING
Provider name: id
Description: [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.

ip_address

Type: STRING
Provider name: IPAddress
Description: IP address for which this forwarding rule accepts traffic. When a client sends traffic to this IP address, the forwarding rule directs the traffic to the referenced target or backendService. While creating a forwarding rule, specifying an IPAddress is required under the following circumstances: - When the target is set to targetGrpcProxy and validateForProxyless is set to true, the IPAddress should be set to 0.0.0.0. - When the target is a Private Service Connect Google APIs bundle, you must specify an IPAddress. Otherwise, you can optionally specify an IP address that references an existing static (reserved) IP address resource. When omitted, Google Cloud assigns an ephemeral IP address. Use one of the following formats to specify an IP address while creating a forwarding rule: * IP address number, as in 100.1.2.3 * IPv6 address range, as in 2600:1234::/96 * Full resource URL, as in https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/ project_id/regions/region/addresses/address-name * Partial URL or by name, as in: - projects/project_id/regions/region/addresses/address-name - regions/region/addresses/address-name - global/addresses/address-name - address-name The forwarding rule’s target or backendService, and in most cases, also the loadBalancingScheme, determine the type of IP address that you can use. For detailed information, see IP address specifications. When reading an IPAddress, the API always returns the IP address number.

ip_protocol

Type: STRING
Provider name: IPProtocol
Description: The IP protocol to which this rule applies. For protocol forwarding, valid options are TCP, UDP, ESP, AH, SCTP, ICMP and L3_DEFAULT. The valid IP protocols are different for different load balancing products as described in Load balancing features.

is_mirroring_collector

Type: BOOLEAN
Provider name: isMirroringCollector
Description: Indicates whether or not this load balancer can be used as a collector for packet mirroring.

metadata_filters

Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: metadataFilters
Description: Opaque filter criteria used by load balancer to restrict routing configuration to a limited set of xDS compliant clients. In their xDS requests to load balancer, xDS clients present node metadata. When there is a match, the relevant configuration is made available to those proxies. Otherwise, all the resources (e.g. TargetHttpProxy, UrlMap) referenced by the ForwardingRule are not visible to those proxies. For each metadataFilter in this list, if its filterMatchCriteria is set to MATCH_ANY, at least one of the filterLabels must match the corresponding label provided in the metadata. If its filterMatchCriteria is set to MATCH_ALL, then all of its filterLabels must match with corresponding labels provided in the metadata. If multiple metadataFilters are specified, all of them need to be satisfied in order to be considered a match. metadataFilters specified here will be applifed before those specified in the UrlMap that this ForwardingRule references. metadataFilters only applies to Loadbalancers that have their loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.

    Possible values:
    • MATCH_ALL - Specifies that all filterLabels must match for the metadataFilter to be considered a match.
    • MATCH_ANY - Specifies that any filterLabel must match for the metadataFilter to be considered a match.
    • NOT_SET - Indicates that the match criteria was not set. A metadataFilter must never be created with this value.

Only packets addressed to these ports will be forwarded to the backends configured with this forwarding rule. For external forwarding rules, two or more forwarding rules cannot use the same [IPAddress, IPProtocol] pair, and cannot share any values defined in ports. For internal forwarding rules within the same VPC network, two or more forwarding rules cannot use the same [IPAddress, IPProtocol] pair, and cannot share any values defined in ports.
