Warning

To request access to this function, contact support.

Currently, you can update the following routing instance parameters:

new-name: Private connection name
description: Private connection description

Note

When updating announcements of IP prefixes or adding (deleting) private connections in a routing instance, we recommend using separate commands, not the --vpc-net and --cic-prc options of the update command.

For example, to update the description parameter value of a routing instance, follow the steps below.

Note

You need the cloud-router.editor role to run this operation.

CLI

See the description of the CLI command for updating a routing instance:
```
yc cloudrouter routing-instance update  --help
```

Update the description parameter value for the routing instance:

yc cloudrouter routing-instance update c3l87**********1dpin \
  --description "My new RI description" \
  --async

Expected result:

id: al4r9**********4613n
description: routing instance update
created_at: "2025-04-08T21:21:33.106772882Z"
created_by: bfbud**********v7dfn
modified_at: "2025-04-08T21:21:33.106772882Z"
metadata:
  '@type': type.googleapis.com/yandex.cloud.cloudrouter.v1.UpdateRoutingInstanceMetadata
  routing_instance_id: c3l87**********1dpin

Check the updated parameter value after the operation is complete:
```
yc cloudrouter routing-instance get c3l87**********1dpin
```
