- DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute interconnects createis used to createinterconnects. An interconnect represents a single specific connection betweenGoogle and the customer.For an example, refer to the
EXAMPLESsection below.- EXAMPLES
- To create an interconnect of type DEDICATED, run:
gcloudcomputeinterconnectscreateexample-interconnect--customer-name="Example Customer Name"--interconnect-type=DEDICATED--link-type=LINK_TYPE_ETHERNET_10G_LR--location=example-zone1-1--requested-link-count=1--noc-contact-email=noc@example.com--description="Example interconnect"To create a Cross-Cloud Interconnect, run:
gcloudcomputeinterconnectscreateexample-cc-interconnect--interconnect-type=DEDICATED--link-type=LINK_TYPE_ETHERNET_10G_LR--location=example-zone1-1--requested-link-count=1--remote-location=example-remote-location--noc-contact-email=noc@example.com--description="Example Cross-Cloud Interconnect" - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME- Name of the interconnect to create.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
--interconnect-type=INTERCONNECT_TYPE- Type of the interconnect.
INTERCONNECT_TYPEmust be oneof:DEDICATED- Dedicated private interconnect.
PARTNER- Partner interconnect. Only available to approved partners.
--link-type=LINK_TYPE- Type of the link for the interconnect.
LINK_TYPEmust beone of:LINK_TYPE_ETHERNET_100G_LR- 100Gbps Ethernet, LR Optics.
LINK_TYPE_ETHERNET_10G_LR- 10Gbps Ethernet, LR Optics.
LINK_TYPE_ETHERNET_400G_LR4- 400Gbps Ethernet, LR4 Optics.
--location=LOCATION- The location for the interconnect. The locations can be listed by using the
gcloud computeinterconnects locations listcommand to find the appropriate locationto use when creating an interconnect. --requested-link-count=REQUESTED_LINK_COUNT- Target number of physical links in the link bundle.
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
--admin-enabled- Administrative status of the interconnect. If not provided on creation, defaultsto enabled. When this is enabled, the interconnect is operational and will carrytraffic across any functioning linked interconnect attachments. Use--no-admin-enabled to disable it.
--customer-name=CUSTOMER_NAME- Customer name to put in the Letter of Authorization as the party authorized torequest an interconnect. This field is required for most interconnects, howeverit is prohibited when creating a Cross-Cloud Interconnect.
--description=DESCRIPTION- An optional, textual description for the interconnect.
--noc-contact-email=NOC_CONTACT_EMAIL- Email address to contact the customer NOC for operations and maintenancenotifications regarding this interconnect.
--remote-location=REMOTE_LOCATION- The remote location for a Cross-Cloud Interconnect. The remote locations can belisted by using the
gcloudcompute interconnects remote-locations listcommand to find theappropriate remote location to use when creating a Cross-Cloud Interconnect. --requested-features=[FEATURES,…]- List of features requested for this interconnect.
FEATURESmust be one of:CROSS_SITE_NETWORK- If specified then the interconnect is created on Cross-Site Network capablehardware ports. This parameter can only be provided during interconnect INSERTand cannot be changed using interconnect PATCH.
L2_FORWARDING- If specified then the interconnect is created on L2 forwarding capable hardwareports. This parameter can only be provided during interconnect INSERT and cannotbe changed using interconnect PATCH.
MACSEC- If specified then the interconnect is created on MACsec capable hardware ports.If not specified, the interconnect is created on non-MACsec capable ports first,if available. This parameter can only be provided during interconnect INSERT andcannot be changed using interconnect PATCH.
--resource-manager-tags=[KEY=VALUE,…]- A comma-separated list of Resource Manager tags to apply to the interconnect.
--subzone=SUBZONE- Subzone in the LOCATION specified by the --location flag.
SUBZONEmust be one of:a- Subzone a.
b- Subzone b.
