POST /v2/load_balancers/{lb_id}/forwarding_rules

To add an additional forwarding rule to a load balancer instance, send a POST request to /v2/load_balancers/$LOAD_BALANCER_ID/forwarding_rules. In the body of the request, there should be a forwarding_rules attribute containing an array of rules to be added.

No response body will be sent back, but the response code will indicate success. Specifically, the response code will be a 204, which means that the action was successful with no returned body data.

Path parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`lb_id`	String	Yes	A unique identifier for a load balancer.

Request headers

Name	Type	Required	Description
`Content-Type`	String	Yes	The media type of the request body. Default value: "application/json"

Request body fields

Name	Type	Required	Description
`forwarding_rules[]`	Array	Yes
`forwarding_rules[].entry_protocol`	String	Yes	The protocol used for traffic to the load balancer. The possible values are: `http`, `https`, `http2`, `http3`, `tcp`, or `udp`. If you set the `entry_protocol` to `udp`, the `target_protocol` must be set to `udp`. When using UDP, the load balancer requires that you set up a health check with a port that uses TCP, HTTP, or HTTPS to work properly. Possible values: `"tcp"` `"udp"` `"http"` `"https"` `"http3"` `"http2"`
`forwarding_rules[].target_protocol`	String	Yes	The protocol used for traffic from the load balancer to the backend Droplets. The possible values are: `http`, `https`, `http2`, `tcp`, or `udp`. If you set the `target_protocol` to `udp`, the `entry_protocol` must be set to `udp`. When using UDP, the load balancer requires that you set up a health check with a port that uses TCP, HTTP, or HTTPS to work properly. Possible values: `"tcp"` `"udp"` `"http"` `"https"` `"http2"`
`forwarding_rules[].tls_passthrough`	Boolean	No	A boolean value indicating whether SSL encrypted traffic will be passed through to the backend Droplets.
`forwarding_rules[].entry_port`	Integer	Yes	An integer representing the port on which the load balancer instance will listen.
`forwarding_rules[].target_port`	Integer	Yes	An integer representing the port on the backend Droplets to which the load balancer will send traffic.
`forwarding_rules[].certificate_id`	String	No	The ID of the TLS certificate used for SSL termination if enabled.
