create

Description

Creates a new network source in your tenancy.

You must specify your tenancy’s OCID as the compartment ID in the request object (remember that the tenancy is simply the root compartment). Notice that IAM resources (users, groups, compartments, and some policies) reside within the tenancy itself, unlike cloud resources such as compute instances, which typically reside within compartments inside the tenancy. For information about OCIDs, see Resource Identifiers.

You must also specify a name for the network source, which must be unique across all network sources in your tenancy, and cannot be changed. You can use this name or the OCID when writing policies that apply to the network source. For more information about policies, see How Policies Work.

You must also specify a description for the network source (although it can be an empty string). It does not have to be unique, and you can change it anytime with UpdateNetworkSource.

After you send your request, the new object’s lifecycleState will temporarily be CREATING. Before using the object, first make sure its lifecycleState has changed to ACTIVE.

After your network resource is created, you can use it in policy to restrict access to only requests made from an allowed IP address specified in your network source. For more information, see Managing Network Sources.

Usage

oci iam network-sources create [OPTIONS]

Required Parameters

--compartment-id, -c [text]

The OCID of the tenancy (root compartment) containing the network source object.

--description [text]

The description you assign to the network source during creation. Does not have to be unique, and it’s changeable.

--name [text]

The name you assign to the network source during creation. The name must be unique across all groups in the tenancy and cannot be changed.

Optional Parameters

--defined-tags [complex type]

Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags. Example: {“Operations”: {“CostCenter”: “42”}} This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--freeform-tags [complex type]

Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags. Example: {“Department”: “Finance”} This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--from-json [text]

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--public-source-list [complex type]

A list of allowed public IP addresses and CIDR ranges. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--services [complex type]

– The services attribute has no effect and is reserved for use by Oracle. – This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--virtual-source-list [complex type]

A list of allowed VCN OCID and IP range pairs. Example:”vcnId”: “ocid1.vcn.oc1.iad.aaaaaaaaexampleuniqueID”, “ipRanges”: [ “129.213.39.0/24” ]

This option is a JSON list with items of type NetworkSourcesVirtualSourceList. For documentation on NetworkSources_virtualSourceList please see our API reference: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/identity/20160918/datatypes/NetworkSourcesVirtualSourceList. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

Example using required parameter

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration and appropriate security policies before trying the examples.
