Element		Type	Description
key		string	Top level element, contains the ID of the endpoint.
body		Top level element (list)	Contains the rules for routing between the network interfaces.
	interface_a	string	References the identifier of the network interface. You can configure network interfaces at the /api/configuration/network/nics/ endpoint. To modify or add a network interface, use the value of the returned key as the value of the interface_a element, and remove any child elements (including the key).
	interface_b	string	References the identifier of the network interface. You can configure network interfaces at the /api/configuration/network/nics/ endpoint. To modify or add a network interface, use the value of the returned key as the value of the interface_b element, and remove any child elements (including the key).

Add a rule for routing between the network interfaces

To add a rule, you have to:

1. Create the JSON object for the new list of rules.

   POST the JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/network/ip_forwarding_rule_pairs endpoint. You can find a detailed description of the available parameters listed in Element .

   If the POST request is successful, the response includes the key of the new rule.

Modify a rule for routing between the network interfaces

To modify a rule, you have to:

1. Modify the JSON object of the list of rules.

   PUT the modified JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/network/ip_forwarding_rule_pairs endpoint. You can find a detailed description of the available parameters listed in Element .
