This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see
AWS WAF Classic
in the developer guide.
For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the
AWS WAF Developer Guide.
With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for
regional and global use.
Creates an IPSet, which you use to specify which web requests that you
want to allow or block based on the IP addresses that the requests
originate from. For example, if you're receiving a lot of requests from
one or more individual IP addresses or one or more ranges of IP
addresses and you want to block the requests, you can create an IPSet
that contains those IP addresses and then configure AWS WAF to block the
requests.
To create and configure an IPSet
, perform the following steps:
Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the
ChangeToken
parameter of a CreateIPSet
request.
Submit a CreateIPSet
request.
Use GetChangeToken
to get the change token that you provide in the
ChangeToken
parameter of an UpdateIPSet request.
Submit an UpdateIPSet
request to specify the IP addresses that you
want AWS WAF to watch for.
For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block
HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
