**Table 4** UpdateL7PolicyOption¶
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
admin_state_up	No	Boolean	Specifies the administrative status of the forwarding policy. The default value is true. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it. Default: true
description	No	String	Provides supplementary information about the forwarding policy. Minimum: 0 Maximum: 255
name	No	String	Specifies the forwarding policy name. Minimum: 0 Maximum: 255
redirect_listener_id	No	String	Specifies the ID of the listener that requests are redirected to. This parameter is valid and mandatory only when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER. Only HTTPS listeners are supported, and the listener cannot be any listener added to other load balancers.
redirect_pool_id	No	String	Specifies the ID of the backend server group that requests are forwarded to. This parameter is valid and mandatory only when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL. The specified backend server group cannot be the default one associated with the listener, or any backend server group associated with the forwarding policies of other listeners. This parameter cannot be specified when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER.
redirect_url_config	No	UpdateRedirectUrlConfig object	Specifies the URL to which requests are forwarded. This parameter will take effect only when advanced forwarding is enabled (enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true). If it is passed when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, an error will be returned. Format: protocol://host:port/path?query At least one of the four parameters (protocol, host, port, and path) must be passed, or their values cannot be set to ${xxx} at the same time. (${xxx} indicates that the value in the request will be inherited. For example, ${host} indicates the host in the URL to be redirected.) The values of protocol and port cannot be the same as those of the associated listener, and either host or path must be passed or their values cannot be ${xxx} at the same time. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.
fixed_response_config	No	UpdateFixtedResponseConfig object	Specifies the configuration of the page that will be returned. This parameter will take effect when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true.

priority	No	Integer	Specifies the forwarding policy priority. This parameter will take effect when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. The value must be unique for forwarding policies of the same listener. If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the value can only be 0, indicating that REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER has the highest priority. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it. Minimum: 0 Maximum: 10000

Parameter	Type	Description
request_id	String	Specifies the request ID. The value is automatically generated.
l7policy	L7Policy object	Specifies the forwarding policy.

**Table 10** L7Policy¶
Parameter	Type	Description
action	String	Specifies where requests will be forwarded. The value can be one of the following: REDIRECT_TO_POOL: Requests will be forwarded to another backend server group. REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER: Requests will be redirected to an HTTPS listener. REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER has the highest priority. If requests are to be redirected to an HTTPS listener, other forwarding policies of the listener will become invalid.
admin_state_up	Boolean	Specifies the administrative status of the forwarding policy. The default value is true. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it. Default: true
description	String	Provides supplementary information about the forwarding policy.
id	String	Specifies the forwarding policy ID.
listener_id	String	Specifies the ID of the listener to which the forwarding policy is added. If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL, the forwarding policy can be added to an HTTP or HTTPS listener. If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the forwarding policy can be added to an HTTP listener.
name	String	Specifies the forwarding policy name. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 255
position	Integer	Specifies the forwarding policy priority. This parameter cannot be updated. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it. Minimum: 1 Maximum: 100
project_id	String	Specifies the project ID of the forwarding policy.
provisioning_status	String	Specifies the provisioning status of the forwarding policy. Default: ACTIVE
redirect_listener_id	String	Specifies the ID of the listener that requests are redirected to. This parameter is valid and mandatory only when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER. Only HTTPS listeners are supported, and the listener cannot be any listener added to other load balancers.
redirect_pool_id	String	Specifies the ID of the backend server group that requests are forwarded to. This parameter is valid and mandatory only when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL. The specified backend server group cannot be the default one associated with the listener, or any backend server group associated with the forwarding policies of other listeners. This parameter cannot be specified when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER.
redirect_url	String	Specifies the URL to which requests are forwarded. Format: protocol://host:port/path?query This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.
rules	Array of RuleRef objects	Lists the forwarding rules in the forwarding policy.
redirect_url_config	RedirectUrlConfig object	Specifies the URL to which requests are forwarded. This parameter will take effect only when advanced forwarding is enabled (enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true). If it is passed when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, an error will be returned. Format: protocol://host:port/path?query At least one of the four parameters (protocol, host, port, and path) must be passed, or their values cannot be set to ${xxx} at the same time. (${xxx} indicates that the value in the request will be inherited. For example, ${host} indicates the host in the URL to be redirected.) The values of protocol and port cannot be the same as those of the associated listener, and either host or path must be passed or their values cannot be ${xxx} at the same time. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.
fixed_response_config	FixtedResponseConfig object	Specifies the configuration of the page that will be returned. This parameter will take effect when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true. If this parameter is passed and enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, an error will be returned. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.
priority	Integer	Specifies the forwarding policy priority. This parameter will take effect when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. The value must be unique for each forwarding policy of the same listener. If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the value can only be 0, indicating that REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER has the highest priority. If enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, forwarding policies are automatically prioritized based on the original sorting logic. Forwarding policy priorities are independent of each other regardless of domain names. If forwarding policies use the same domain name, their priorities follow the order of exact match (EQUAL_TO), prefix match (STARTS_WITH), and regular expression match (REGEX). If prefix match is used for matching, the longer the path, the higher the priority. If a forwarding policy contains only a domain name without a path specified, the path is /, and prefix match is used by default. If enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true and this parameter is not passed, the priority will set to a sum of 1 and the highest priority of existing forwarding policy in the same listener by default. There will be two cases: a) If the highest priority of existing forwarding policies is the maximum (10,000), the forwarding policy will fail to create because the final priority for creating the forwarding policy is the sum of 1 and 10,000, which exceeds the maximum. In this case, please specify a value or adjust the priorities of existing forwarding policies. b) If no forwarding policies exist, the highest priority of existing forwarding policies will set to 1 by default. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it. Minimum: 0 Maximum: 10000
