## Example

#### Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/cloud-serverless/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) or by environment variables (`INFLUX_HOST`, `INFLUX_ORG`, and `INFLUX_TOKEN`). If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:

-   `--host`: [InfluxDB host](/influxdb/cloud-serverless/reference/urls/)
-   `-o, --org` or `--org-id`: InfluxDB organization name or ID
-   `-t, --token`: InfluxDB API token

### Update a replication

1. Use `influx replication list` to get the ID for the replication you want to update.
    
    ```sh
    $ influx replication list
    ID			        Name		Org ID
    0ooxX0xxXo0x      	    myreplication    [...]
    ```
    
2. Use the following command to update the replication:
    
    ```sh
    influx replication update \
      --id 0ooxX0xxXo0x
      --name new-replication-name
      --description new-replication-description
      --replication-url http://new-replication-url.com
      --replication-api-token new-replication-api-token
      --replication-org-id new-replication-org-id
    ```
