Type

Description

region [required]

ipPermissions [required]

[object]

Sets of IP permissions. Specifying a destination security group and a CIDR IP address range in the same set of permissions is not supported.

FromPort

number

The start of port range for the TCP and UDP protocols, or an ICMP/ICMPv6 type number. A value of -1 indicates all ICMP/ICMPv6 types. If you specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 types, you must specify all codes.

IpProtocol

string

The IP protocol name (tcp, udp, icmp, icmpv6) or number (see Protocol Numbers).
[VPC only] Use -1 to specify all protocols. When authorizing security group rules, specifying -1 or a protocol number other than tcp, udp, icmp, or icmpv6 allows traffic on all ports, regardless of any port range you specify. For tcp, udp, and icmp, you must specify a port range. For icmpv6, the port range is optional; if you omit the port range, traffic for all types and codes is allowed.

IpRanges

[object]

The IPv4 address ranges.

CidrIp

string

The IPv4 address range. You can either specify a CIDR block or a source security group, not both. To specify a single IPv4 address, use the /32 prefix length.

Description

string

A description for the security group rule that references this IPv4 address range.
Constraints: Up to 255 characters in length. Allowed characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, spaces, and ._-:/()#,@[]+=&;{}!$*.

Ipv6Ranges

[object]

The IPv6 address ranges.

CidrIpv6

string

The IPv6 address range. You can either specify a CIDR block or a source security group, not both. To specify a single IPv6 address, use the /128 prefix length.

Description

string

A description for the security group rule that references this IPv6 address range.
Constraints: Up to 255 characters in length. Allowed characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, spaces, and ._-:/()#,@[]+=&;{}!$*.

PrefixListIds

[object]

The prefix list IDs.

PrefixListId

string

The ID of the prefix.

ToPort

number

The end of port range for the TCP and UDP protocols, or an ICMP/ICMPv6 code. A value of -1 indicates all ICMP/ICMPv6 codes. If you specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 types, you must specify all codes.

UserIdGroupPairs

[object]

The security group and Amazon Web Services account ID pairs.

Description

string

A description for the security group rule that references this user ID group pair.

GroupId

string

The ID of the security group.
