update-ip-set
Description
Note
This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.
Inserts or deletes IPSetDescriptor objects in an IPSet . For each IPSetDescriptor object, you specify the following values:
- Whether to insert or delete the object from the array. If you want to change an
IPSetDescriptorobject, you delete the existing object and add a new one. - The IP address version,
IPv4orIPv6. - The IP address in CIDR notation, for example,
192.0.2.0/24(for the range of IP addresses from192.0.2.0to192.0.2.255) or192.0.2.44/32(for the individual IP address192.0.2.44).
AWS WAF supports IPv4 address ranges: /8 and any range between /16 through /32. AWS WAF supports IPv6 address ranges: /24, /32, /48, /56, /64, and /128. For more information about CIDR notation, see the Wikipedia entry Classless Inter-Domain Routing .
IPv6 addresses can be represented using any of the following formats:
- 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128
- 1111:0:0:0:0:0:0:0111/128
- 1111::0111/128
- 1111::111/128
You use an IPSet to specify which web requests you want to allow or block based on the IP addresses that the requests originated from. For example, if you’re receiving a lot of requests from one or a small number of IP addresses and you want to block the requests, you can create an IPSet that specifies those IP addresses, and then configure AWS WAF to block the requests.
To create and configure an IPSet , perform the following steps:
- Submit a CreateIPSet request.
- Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the
ChangeTokenparameter of an UpdateIPSet request. - Submit an
UpdateIPSetrequest to specify the IP addresses that you want AWS WAF to watch for.
When you update an IPSet , you specify the IP addresses that you want to add and/or the IP addresses that you want to delete. If you want to change an IP address, you delete the existing IP address and add the new one.
You can insert a maximum of 1000 addresses in a single request.
For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide .

(structure)
Note
This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.
Specifies the type of update to perform to an IPSet with UpdateIPSet .
Action -> (string)
IPSetDescriptor -> (structure)
The IP address type (IPV4 or IPV6 ) and the IP address range (in CIDR notation) that web requests originate from.
Type -> (string)
IPV4 or IPV6 .Value -> (string)
Specify an IPv4 address by using CIDR notation. For example:
- To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from the IP address 192.0.2.44, specify
192.0.2.44/32. - To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from IP addresses from 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255, specify
192.0.2.0/24.
For more information about CIDR notation, see the Wikipedia entry Classless Inter-Domain Routing .
Specify an IPv6 address by using CIDR notation. For example:
- To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from the IP address 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111, specify
1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128. - To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from IP addresses 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to 1111:0000:0000:0000:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff, specify
1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/64.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
Global Options
--debug (boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url (string)
Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate (boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output (string)
The formatting style for command output.
- json
- text
- table
- yaml
- yaml-stream
--query (string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile (string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region (string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version (string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color (string)
Turn on/off color output.
- on
- off
- auto
--no-sign-request (boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle (string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout (int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout (int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format (string)
The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.
- base64
- raw-in-base64-out
--no-cli-pager (boolean)
Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
Examples
Note
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
To update an IP set
The following update-ip-set command updates an IPSet with an IPv4 address and deletes an IPv6 address:
aws waf update-ip-set --ip-set-id a123fae4-b567-8e90-1234-5ab67ac8ca90 --change-token 12cs345-67cd-890b-1cd2-c3a4567d89f1 --updates Action="INSERT",IPSetDescriptor={Type="IPV4",Value="12.34.56.78/16"},Action="DELETE",IPSetDescriptor={Type="IPV6",Value="1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128"}
Alternatively you can use a JSON file to specify the input. For example:
aws waf update-ip-set --ip-set-id a123fae4-b567-8e90-1234-5ab67ac8ca90 --change-token 12cs345-67cd-890b-1cd2-c3a4567d89f1 --updates file://change.json
Where content of the JSON file is:
[
{
"Action": "INSERT",
"IPSetDescriptor":
{
"Type": "IPV4",
"Value": "12.34.56.78/16"
}
},
{
"Action": "DELETE",
"IPSetDescriptor":
{
"Type": "IPV6",
"Value": "1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128"
}
}
]
For more information, see Working with IP Match Conditions in the AWS WAF developer guide.
Output
ChangeToken -> (string)
ChangeToken that you used to submit the UpdateIPSet request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus .
