Creates a router interface.
Usage notes
When you call this operation, take note of the following limits:
- You can create only one pair of interfaces to be connected between two routers.
- You can create a maximum of five router interfaces for a router.
- If your Alibaba Cloud account has a router interface with overdue payments, you cannot create new router interfaces.
- Each destination CIDR block of route entries in the same route table must be unique.
- A virtual border router (VBR) can serve only as a requester. The VBR must be in the Activated state.
- You can call this operation to create subscription and pay-as-you-go router interfaces.
