3.1.5.5.2 backendAddressPools

A backendAddressPools resource represents the list of IPs that can receive network traffic that comes via the front-end IPs. The load Balancing MUX handles incoming traffic via the front-end IPs and distributes them to back-end IPs based on load balancing configuration.

It is invoked through the following URI.

 https://<url>/networking/v1/loadBalancers/{parentResourceId}/backendAddressPools/{resourceId}

url: The address or name of the REST server of the Network Controller.

parentResourceId: The identifier for the specific ancestor resource within the resource type. See section 2.2.3.3 for more details.

resourceId: The identifier for the specific descendant resource within the resource type. See section 2.2.3.4 for more details.

Note  The server MAY support additional versions, v1 or later, in the URI.

The following HTTP methods can be performed on this resource.

HTTP method	Section	Description
PUT	3.1.5.5.2.1.1	Create a new backendAddressPools resource or update an existing backendAddressPools resource.
GET	3.1.5.5.2.1.2	Get one backendAddressPools resource.
GET ALL	3.1.5.5.2.1.3	List all backendAddressPools resources in the Network Controller.

Element name	Type	Description
etag	Read-only	Specified in Common JSON Elements, section 2.2.2.
provisioningState	Read-only	Specified in Common JSON Elements, section 2.2.2.
backendIPConfigurations	Read-only Read/write (URI v7 and later)	Indicates an array of references to ipConfigurations resources. There is no restriction on having the same ipConfigurations in multiple backendAddressPools. An IP configuration can become a part of a backendAddressPool by setting a reference to a backendAddressPools resource in the loadBalancerBackendAddressPools array field on the ipConfigurations resource. For URI v7 and later, IP configurations can also be directly added or removed by modifying the array of ipConfigurations references, provided the loadBalancers property updateBackendAddressPools is set to true.
loadBalancingRules	Read-only	Indicates an array of references to the set of loadBalancingRules resources that use this back-end address pool.
outboundNatRules	Read-only	Indicates an array of references to the set of outboundNatRules resources that use this back-end address pool.
