[VPC only] Adds the specified outbound (egress) rules to a security group for use with a VPC.

An outbound rule permits instances to send traffic to the specified IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR address ranges, or to the instances that are associated with the specified source security groups. When specifying an outbound rule for your security group in a VPC, the IpPermissions must include a destination for the traffic.

You specify a protocol for each rule (for example, TCP). For the TCP and UDP protocols, you must also specify the destination port or port range. For the ICMP protocol, you must also specify the ICMP type and code. You can use -1 for the type or code to mean all types or all codes.

Rule changes are propagated to affected instances as quickly as possible. However, a small delay might occur.

For information about VPC security group quotas, see Amazon VPC quotas.

Query parameters

DryRunboolean

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is <code>DryRunOperation</code>. Otherwise, it is <code>UnauthorizedOperation</code>.

GroupIdstring required

The ID of the security group.

FromPortinteger

If the protocol is TCP or UDP, this is the start of the port range. If the protocol is ICMP or ICMPv6, this is the type number. A value of -1 indicates all ICMP/ICMPv6 types. If you specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 types, you must specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 codes.

IpProtocolstring

<p>The IP protocol name (<code>tcp</code>, <code>udp</code>, <code>icmp</code>, <code>icmpv6</code>) or number (see <a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/protocol-numbers.xhtml">Protocol Numbers</a>).</p> <p>[VPC only] Use <code>-1</code> to specify all protocols. When authorizing security group rules, specifying <code>-1</code> or a protocol number other than <code>tcp</code>, <code>udp</code>, <code>icmp</code>, or <code>icmpv6</code> allows traffic on all ports, regardless of any port range you specify. For <code>tcp</code>, <code>udp</code>, and <code>icmp</code>, you must specify a port range. For <code>icmpv6</code>, the port range is optional; if you omit the port range, traffic for all types and codes is allowed.</p>

ToPortinteger

If the protocol is TCP or UDP, this is the end of the port range. If the protocol is ICMP or ICMPv6, this is the code. A value of -1 indicates all ICMP/ICMPv6 codes. If you specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 types, you must specify all ICMP/ICMPv6 codes.

The sets of IP permissions. You can't specify a destination security group and a CIDR IP address range in the same set of permissions.

The type of resource to tag on creation.

The tags applied to the security group rule.

CidrIpstring

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the CIDR.

FromPortinteger

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the port.

IpProtocolstring

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the protocol name or number.

ToPortinteger

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify the port.

SourceSecurityGroupNamestring

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify a destination security group.

SourceSecurityGroupOwnerIdstring

Not supported. Use a set of IP permissions to specify a destination security group.
