id: optional string
Identifier of an Address Map.

Link to this property
can\_delete: optional boolean
If set to false, then the Address Map cannot be deleted via API. This is true for Cloudflare-managed maps.
Link to this property
can\_modify\_ips: optional boolean
If set to false, then the IPs on the Address Map cannot be modified via the API. This is true for Cloudflare-managed maps.

Link to this property
default\_sni: optional string
If you have legacy TLS clients which do not send the TLS server name indicator, then you can specify one default SNI on the map. If Cloudflare receives a TLS handshake from a client without an SNI, it will respond with the default SNI on those IPs. The default SNI can be any valid zone or subdomain owned by the account.
