    Virtual Private Cloud:CreateVSwitch

    Last Updated:Dec 20, 2024

    Creates a vSwitch.

    Operation description

    When you call this operation, take note of the following limits:

    • You can create at most 150 vSwitches in a virtual private cloud (VPC).

    • The first IP address and last three IP addresses of each vSwitch CIDR block are reserved. For example, if the CIDR block of a vSwitch is 192.168.1.0/24, the IP addresses 192.168.1.0, 192.168.1.253, 192.168.1.254, and 192.168.1.255 are reserved.

    • The number of instances in a vSwitch cannot exceed the remaining capacity of the VPC. The remaining capacity is the difference between 15,000 and the current number of instances.

    • Each instance can belong to only one vSwitch.

    • vSwitches do not support multicast or broadcast.

    • After you create a vSwitch, you cannot modify its CIDR block.

    • CreateVSwitch is an asynchronous operation. After a request is sent, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call DescribeVSwitchAttributes to query the status of the task.

      • If the vSwitch is in the Pending state, the vSwitch is being configured.
      • If the vSwitch is in the Available state, the vSwitch is available.

    • You cannot repeatedly call the CreateVSwitch operation to create a vSwitch in a VPC within the specified period of time.

    Debugging

    You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

    Authorization information

    The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

    • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
    • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
    • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
      • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
      • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
    • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
    • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

    The region ID of the vSwitch.

    You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.

    		cn-hangzhou
    CidrBlockstringYes

    The CIDR block of the vSwitch. Take note of the following limits:

    • The subnet mask of the CIDR block must be 16 to 29 bits in length.
    • The CIDR block of the vSwitch must fall within the CIDR block of the VPC to which the vSwitch belongs.
    • The CIDR block of a vSwitch cannot be the same as the destination CIDR block in a route entry of the VPC. However, it can be a subset of the destination CIDR block.
    		172.16.0.0/24
