By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.
To stop a load balancer with the ACTIVE status, run this command:
yc load-balancer network-load-balancer stop <load_balancer_name_or_ID>
You can get the load balancer ID and name with the list of network load balancers in the folder.
To stop a network load balancer, use the stop REST API method for the NetworkLoadBalancer resource or the NetworkLoadBalancerService/Stop gRPC API call.
