Updating routing instance parameters

Written by

Updated at June 10, 2025

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
  1. See the description of the CLI command for updating a routing instance:

    yc cloudrouter routing-instance update  --help
    
  2. 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
    
  3. Check the updated parameter value after the operation is complete:

    yc cloudrouter routing-instance get c3l87**********1dpin
