```
[nlb]
```

For `rule` command:

```
[r forwardingrule]
```

For `update` command:

```
[u up]
```

## Description

Use this command to update a specified Network Load Balancer Forwarding Rule from a Network Load Balancer. You can also update Health Check settings.

Use `--wait` (`-w`) to wait for the resource to reach AVAILABLE state.

Required values to run command:

* Data Center Id
* Network Load Balancer Id
* Forwarding Rule Id
