Request

Table 1 describes the request parameters.

**Table 1** Request parameter
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
snat_rule	Yes	Object	Specifies the SNAT rule object. For details, see Table 2.

**Table 2** Description of the **snat_rule** field
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
nat_gateway_id	Yes	String	Specifies the NAT gateway ID.
network_id	No	String	Specifies the network ID used by the SNAT rule. This parameter and cidr are alternative.
cidr	No	String	Specifies CIDR, which can be in the format of a network segment or a host IP address. This parameter and network_id are alternative. If the value of Source_type is 0, the CIDR block must be a subset of the VPC subnet CIDR block. If the value of Source_type is 1, cidr must be a CIDR block of Direct Connect connection.
source_type	No	Integer	0: Either network_id or cidr can be specified in a VPC. 1: Only cidr can be specified over a Direct Connect connection. If no value is entered, the default value 0 (VPC) is used.
floating_ip_id	Yes	String	Specifies the EIP ID. Multiple EIPs are separated using commas (,). The maximum length of the ID is 4096 bytes. The number of EIP IDs cannot exceed 20.

floating_ip_id	String(4096)	Specifies the EIP ID. Multiple EIPs are separated using commas (,). The maximum length of the ID is 4096 bytes.
floating_ip_address	String(1024)	Specifies the EIP. Multiple EIPs are separated using commas (,). The maximum length is 1024 bytes.
status	String	Specifies the status of the SNAT rule. For details about all its values, see Table 1.
admin_state_up	Boolean	Specifies whether the SNAT rule is enabled or disabled. The value can be: true: The SNAT rule is enabled. false: The SNAT rule is disabled.
created_at	String	Specifies when the SNAT rule is created (UTC time). Its value rounds to 6 decimal places for seconds. The format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.
