The specified IP addresses are displayed in sorted order in ascending order.

The lowest IP address will be the primary DNS address.

 xsd:string Optional
host_routes A list of host route dictionaries for the subnet. For example:

"host_routes":[
	{
		"destination":"0.0.0.0/0",
		"nexthop":"172.16.1.254"
	},
	{
		"destination":"192.168.0.0/24",
		"nexthop":"192.168.0.1"
	}
]
xsd:list Optional
gateway_ip The gateway IP address. xsd:string Optional
ip_version The IP version, which can be 4 or 6. xsd:string Required
cidr The CIDR. xsd:bool required
enable_dhcp Set to "true" if DHCP is enabled, or "false" otherwise. xsd:boolean Optional
availability_zone The Availability Zone name.

If you do not specify this, the resource will be created in the default Availability Zone.

 xsd:string Optional
CAUTION:

  • Do not specify an ISP shared address (100.64.0.0/10 or a subnet address of a division of that subnet).
  • Only one subnet can be related to a single network.

CAUTION:

When creating a subnet for use with the Window virtual server for SAP service or the physical server for SAP HANA service, please take note of the following points.

  • Perform creation with the following string attached to the head of the name parameter.
    For the Windows virtual server for SAP service:
    fcx_subnet-w:
    For the physical server for SAP HANA service:
    fcx_subnet-b:
  • The range of the mask value that can be specified for cidr is 16 - 29.
  • IP addresses other than those specified for allocation_pools and gateway_ip will be allocated to the servers (VMs) created in the Windows virtual server for SAP service or the physical server for SAP HANA service.

    Specify allocation_pools excluding the range of IP addresses that will be used for the Windows virtual server for SAP service or the physical server for SAP HANA service.

  • Specify 4 for ip_version.
  • The information specified for host_routes, enable_dhcp, and dns_nameservers is not set for the servers (VMs) created in the Windows virtual server for SAP service or the physical server for SAP HANA service.

CAUTION:

When creating a subnet that uses an SSL-VPN connection, take note of the following points.
  • The range of the mask value that can be specified for cidr is 16 - 29.
  • Specify the IP address of the router specified for the VPN Service for gateway_ip.
