Start a network load balancer

    To start a network load balancer:

    1. Open the Load Balancer section in the folder where you want to start the load balancer.
    2. Click in the row of that load balancer or open the page of the load balancer you need.
    3. Click Start.
    4. In the window that opens, click Start.

    If you don't have the Yandex.Cloud command line interface yet, install it.

    The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

    1. See the description of the CLI's start network load balancer command:

      $ yc load-balancer network-load-balancer start --help

    2. Get a list of all load balancers:

      $ yc load-balancer network-load-balancer list
+----------------------+--------------------+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------------+----------+
|          ID          |        NAME        |  REGION ID  |   TYPE   | LISTENER COUNT | ATTACHED TARGET GROUPS |  STATUS  |
+----------------------+--------------------+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------------+----------+

...
+----------------------+--------------------+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------------+----------+

    3. Choose the ID or NAME of the required load balancer in the INACTIVE state.

    4. Start the load balancer:

      $ yc load-balancer network-load-balancer start b7r97ah2jn5rmo6k1dsk

    You can start network load balancers using the start API method.
