GCLOUD COMPUTE FORWARDING-RULES SET-TARGET(1)

NAME
       gcloud_compute_forwarding-rules_set-target - modify a forwarding rule
              to direct network traffic to a new target

SYNOPSIS
       gcloud compute forwarding-rules set-target NAME [--format FORMAT]
              [--help] [--project PROJECT_ID] [--quiet, -q] [--global |
              --region REGION] [--target-http-proxy TARGET_HTTP_PROXY |
              --target-instance TARGET_INSTANCE |  --target-pool TARGET_POOL]
              [--target-instance-zone TARGET_INSTANCE_ZONE] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       gcloud compute forwarding-rules set-target is used to set a new target
       for a forwarding rule. Forwarding rules match and direct certain types
       of traffic to a load balancer which is controlled by a target pool, a
       target instance, or a target HTTP proxy. Target pools and target
       instances perform load balancing at the layer 3 of the OSI networking
       model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_layer). Target HTTP proxies
       perform load balancing at layer 7.

       Forwarding rules can be either regional or global. They are regional if
       they point to a target pool or a target instance and global if they
       point to a target HTTP proxy.

       For more information on load balancing, see
       https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/.

       When modifying a forwarding rule, exactly one of --target-instance
       --target-pool, and --target-http-proxy must be specified.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
       NAME
           The name of the forwarding rule.

FLAGS
       --global
           If provided, assume the forwarding rules are global. A forwarding
           rule is global if it references a target HTTP proxy.

       --region REGION
           The region of the forwarding rule to operate on. If not specified,
           you will be prompted to select a region.

           To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
           compute/region property:

               $ gcloud config set compute/region REGION

           A list of regions can fetched by running:

               $ gcloud compute regions list

           To unset the property, run:

               $ gcloud config unset compute/region

           Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
           CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

       --target-http-proxy TARGET_HTTP_PROXY
           The target HTTP proxy that will receive the traffic.

       --target-instance TARGET_INSTANCE
           The name of the target instance that will receive the traffic. The
           target instance must be in a zone that's in the forwarding rule's
           region. Global forwarding rules may not direct traffic to target
           instances. If not specified, you will be prompted to select a zone.

           To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
           compute/zone property:

               $ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

           A list of zones can fetched by running:

               $ gcloud compute zones list

           To unset the property, run:

               $ gcloud config unset compute/zone

           Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
           CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

       --target-instance-zone TARGET_INSTANCE_ZONE
           The zone of the target instance.

       --target-pool TARGET_POOL
           The target pool that will receive the traffic. The target pool must
           be in the same region as the forwarding rule. Global forwarding
           rules may not direct traffic to target pools.

   GLOBAL FLAGS
       --format FORMAT
           Specify a format for printed output. By default, a command-specific
           human-friendly output format is used. Setting this flag to one of
           the available options will serialize the result of the command in
           the chosen format and print it to stdout. Supported formats are:
           json, text, yaml.

       --help
           Display detailed help.

       --project PROJECT_ID
           The Google Cloud Platform project name to use for this invocation.
           If omitted then the current project is assumed.

       --quiet, -q
           Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If
           input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be
           raised.

       -h
           Print a summary help and exit.

NOTES
       This command is in the Google Cloud SDK compute component. See
       installing components if it is not installed.
