# SetIpAddressType
Sets the IP address type for an Amazon Lightsail resource.
Use this action to enable dual-stack for a resource, which enables IPv4 and IPv6 for the specified resource. Alternately, you can use this action to disable dual-stack, and enable IPv4 only.
## Request Syntax
```
{
"acceptBundleUpdate": boolean,
"ipAddressType": "string",
"resourceName": "string",
"resourceType": "string"
}
```
## Request Parameters
For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).
The request accepts the following data in JSON format.
** [acceptBundleUpdate](#API_SetIpAddressType_RequestSyntax) **
Required parameter to accept the instance bundle update when changing to, and from, IPv6-only.
An instance bundle will change when switching from `dual-stack` or `ipv4`, to `ipv6`. It also changes when switching from `ipv6`, to `dual-stack` or `ipv4`.
You must include this parameter in the command to update the bundle. For example, if you switch from `dual-stack` to `ipv6`, the bundle will be updated, and billing for the IPv6-only instance bundle begins immediately.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
** [ipAddressType](#API_SetIpAddressType_RequestSyntax) **
The IP address type to set for the specified resource.
The possible values are `ipv4` for IPv4 only, `ipv6` for IPv6 only, and `dualstack` for IPv4 and IPv6.

Required: Yes
** [resourceName](#API_SetIpAddressType_RequestSyntax) **
