(BETA) gcloud beta compute networks create is used to create virtual networks. A network performs the same function that a router does in a home network: it describes the network range and gateway IP address, handles communication between instances, and serves as a gateway between instances and callers outside the network.
To create a regional auto subnet mode network with the name 'network-name', run:
$ gcloud beta compute networks create network-name
To create a global custom subnet mode network with the name 'network-name', run:
$ gcloud beta compute networks create network-name \ --bgp-routing-mode=global --subnet-mode=custom
- NAME
Name of the network to create.
- --bgp-routing-mode=MODE; default="regional"
The BGP routing mode for this network. If not specified, defaults to regional.
MODE must be one of:
- global
Cloud Routers in this network advertise subnetworks from all regions to their BGP peers, and program instances in all regions with the router's best learned BGP routes.
- regional
Cloud Routers in this network advertise subnetworks from their local region only to their BGP peers, and program instances in their local region only with the router's best learned BGP routes.
- --description=DESCRIPTION
An optional, textual description for the network.
- --[no-]enable-ula-internal-ipv6
Enable/disable ULA internal IPv6 on this network. Enabling this feature will assign a /48 from google defined ULA prefix fd20::/20.
Use --enable-ula-internal-ipv6 to enable and --no-enable-ula-internal-ipv6 to disable.
- --internal-ipv6-range=INTERNAL_IPV6_RANGE
When enabling ULA internal IPv6, caller can optionally specify the /48 range they want from the google defined ULA prefix fd20::/20. ULA_IPV6_RANGE must be a valid /48 ULA IPv6 address and within the fd20::/20. Operation will fail if the speficied /48 is already in used by another resource. If the field is not speficied, then a /48 range will be randomly allocated from fd20::/20 and returned via this field.
- --mtu=MTU
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the size of the largest IP packet that can be transmitted on this network. Default value is 1460 bytes. The minimum value is 1300 bytes and the maximum value is 8896 bytes. The MTU advertised via DHCP to all instances attached to this network.
- --network-firewall-policy-enforcement-order=NETWORK_FIREWALL_POLICY_ENFORCEMENT_ORDER
The Network Firewall Policy enforcement order of this network. If not specified, defaults to AFTER_CLASSIC_FIREWALL.
NETWORK_FIREWALL_POLICY_ENFORCEMENT_ORDER must be one of:
- AFTER_CLASSIC_FIREWALL
Network Firewall Policy is enforced after classic firewall.
- BEFORE_CLASSIC_FIREWALL
Network Firewall Policy is enforced before classic firewall.
- --range=RANGE
Specifies the IPv4 address range of legacy mode networks. The range must be specified in CIDR format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing
This flag only works if mode is legacy https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/vpc/legacy.
Using legacy networks is **DEPRECATED**, given that many newer Google Cloud Platform features are not supported on legacy networks. Please be advised that legacy networks may not be supported in the future.
- --subnet-mode=MODE
The subnet mode of the network. If not specified, defaults to AUTO.
MODE must be one of:
- auto
Subnets are created automatically. This is the recommended selection.
- custom
Create subnets manually.
- legacy
[Deprecated] Create an old style network that has a range and cannot have subnets. This is not recommended for new networks.
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
This command is currently in beta and might change without notice. These variants are also available:
