    3. Output Parameters

    Parameter Name Type Description
    ProxyId String L4 instance ID.
    RequestId String The unique request ID, generated by the server, will be returned for every request (if the request fails to reach the server for other reasons, the request will not obtain a RequestId). RequestId is required for locating a problem.

    4. Example

    Example1 Creating an L4 Proxy Instance with a Chinese Mainland Availability Zone As the Acceleration Zone

    This example shows you how to create a layer-4 instance named test in the selected site with ZoneId zone-2jc2xy3hr7f7 and acceleration region Chinese mainland AZ.

    Input Example

    POST / HTTP/1.1
    Host: teo.intl.tencentcloudapi.com
    Content-Type: application/json
    X-TC-Action: CreateL4Proxy
    <Common request parameters>
    
    {
        "ProxyName": "proxy1",
        "ZoneId": "zone-2jc2xy3hr7f7",
        "Area": "mainland"
    }

    Output Example

    {
        "Response": {
            "ProxyId": "sid-2jc2hl2hr8f7",
            "RequestId": "0se57a54-cc42-11ed-8efb-525401a961b1"
        }
    }

    Example2 Create a Layer 4 Proxy Instance in the Global Availability Zone (Exclude Chinese Mainland) with Exclusive DDoS Protection Enabled

    This example shows you how to create a layer-4 instance named test under the selected site with ZoneId zone-2jc2xy3hr7f7, set the acceleration zone to global availability zone (exclude Chinese mainland), enable exclusive Anti-DDoS protection and provide full protection within the acceleration zone.

    Input Example

    POST / HTTP/1.1
    Host: teo.intl.tencentcloudapi.com
    Content-Type: application/json
    X-TC-Action: CreateL4Proxy
    <Common request parameters>
