Setup
You can control Aegis enablement on your zones via API. If you are not familiar with how Cloudflare API works, refer to Fundamentals.
- The Aegis zone setting endpoint is only available within Cloudflare accounts that own leased IPs, or accounts to which a BYOIP prefix has been delegated. If you wish to use Aegis for zones that do not meet this criteria, contact your account team.
- Each Aegis pool can consist of either IPs from a BYOIP prefix or Cloudflare-leased IPs. A single dedicated egress pool cannot contain both BYOIPs and leased IPs.
- Contact your account team to get the ID for your dedicated egress pool.
- Make a
PATCH
request to the Edit Zone Setting endpoint:
- Specify
aegis
as the setting ID in the URL. - In the request body, set
enabled
totrue
and use the ID from the previous step aspool_id
.
--data '{ "id": "aegis", "value": { "enabled": true, "pool_id": "<YOUR_EGRESS_POOL_ID>" },}'
