```
aws elbv2 describe-rules \
    --rule-arns {{arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:listener-rule/app/my-load-balancer/50dc6c495c0c9188/f2f7dc8efc522ab2/9683b2d02a6cabee}}
```
**Example 2: To describe the rules for a listener**

```
aws elbv2 describe-rules \
    --listener-arn {{arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:listener/app/my-load-balancer/50dc6c495c0c9188/f2f7dc8efc522ab2}}
