Parameters:

• Filters (list) –

  One or more filters.

  • addresses.primary - Whether the private IPv4 address is the primary IP address associated with the network interface.

  • addresses.association.public-ip - The association ID returned when the network interface was associated with the Elastic IP address (IPv4).

  • addresses.association.owner-id - The owner ID of the addresses associated with the network interface.

  • association.association-id - The association ID returned when the network interface was associated with an IPv4 address.

  • association.allocation-id - The allocation ID returned when you allocated the Elastic IP address (IPv4) for your network interface.

  • association.ip-owner-id - The owner of the Elastic IP address (IPv4) associated with the network interface.

    If you specify multiple filters, the filters are joined with an AND, and the request returns only results that match all of the specified filters.

    • Name (string) –

      The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.

    • Values (list) –

      The filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive. If you specify multiple values for a filter, the values are joined with an OR, and the request returns all results that match any of the specified values.

      • (string) –

• DryRun (boolean) – Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

• NetworkInterfaceIds (list) –

  The network interface IDs.

  Default: Describes all your network interfaces.

  • (string) –

• NextToken (string) – The token returned from a previous paginated request. Pagination continues from the end of the items returned by the previous request.

• MaxResults (integer) – The maximum number of items to return for this request. To get the next page of items, make another request with the token returned in the output.
