-
gcloud compute security-policies add-user-defined-fieldNAME--base=BASE--offset=OFFSET--size=SIZE--user-defined-field-name=USER_DEFINED_FIELD_NAME[--mask=MASK] [--region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
gcloud compute security-policies add-user-defined-fieldis used to add user defined fields to security policies. - EXAMPLES
- To add a user defined field run this:
gcloud compute security-policies add-user-defined-field SECURITY_POLICY --user-defined-field-name = my-field --base = ipv6 --offset = 10 --size = 3 - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
-
NAME - Name of the security policy to update.
-
- REQUIRED FLAGS
-
-
--base=BASE - The base relative to which offset is measured.
BASEmust be one of:ipv4,ipv6,tcp,udp. -
--offset=OFFSET - Offset of the first byte of the field (in network byte order) relative to base.
-
--size=SIZE - Size of the field in bytes. Valid values: 1-4.
-
--user-defined-field-name=USER_DEFINED_FIELD_NAME - The name for the user defined field.
-
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
-
--mask=MASK - If specified, apply this mask (bitwise AND) to the field to ignore bits before matching. Encoded as a hexadecimal number (starting with "0x").
-
--region=REGION - Region of the security policy to update. Overrides the default
compute/regionproperty value for this command invocation.
-
- GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
