create

Description

Creates a VLAN in the specified VCN and the specified compartment.

Usage

oci network vlan create [OPTIONS]

Required Parameters

--cidr-block [text]

The range of IPv4 addresses that will be used for layer 3 communication with hosts outside the VLAN. The CIDR must maintain the following rules -

  1. The CIDR block is valid and correctly formatted. 2. The new range is within one of the parent VCN ranges.

Example:

192.0.2.0/24
--compartment-id, -c [text]

The OCID of the compartment to contain the VLAN.

--vcn-id [text]

The OCID of the VCN to contain the VLAN.

Optional Parameters

--availability-domain [text]

Controls whether the VLAN is regional or specific to an availability domain. A regional VLAN has the flexibility to implement failover across availability domains. Previously, all VLANs were AD-specific.

To create a regional VLAN, omit this attribute. Resources created subsequently in this VLAN (such as a Compute instance) can be created in any availability domain in the region.

To create an AD-specific VLAN, use this attribute to specify the availability domain. Resources created in this VLAN must be in that availability domain.

Example:

Uocm:PHX-AD-1
--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.

--display-name [text]

A user-friendly name. Does not have to be unique, and it’s changeable. Avoid entering confidential information.

--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

--max-wait-seconds [integer]

The maximum time to wait for the resource to reach the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

--nsg-ids [complex type]

A list of the OCIDs of the network security groups (NSGs) to add all VNICs in the VLAN to. For more information about NSGs, see NetworkSecurityGroup. 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.

--route-table-id [text]

The OCID of the route table the VLAN will use. If you don’t provide a value, the VLAN uses the VCN’s default route table.

--vlan-tag [integer]

The IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag for this VLAN. The value must be unique across all VLANs in the VCN. If you don’t provide a value, Oracle assigns one. You cannot change the value later. VLAN tag 0 is reserved for use by Oracle.

--wait-for-state [text]

This operation creates, modifies or deletes a resource that has a defined lifecycle state. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the resource reaches a given lifecycle state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

Accepted values are:

AVAILABLE, PROVISIONING, TERMINATED, TERMINATING, UPDATING
--wait-interval-seconds [integer]

Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the resource has reached the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

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.
