Cloud Enterprise Network:CreateCenChildInstanceRouteEntryToAttachment

Last Updated:Jul 30, 2025

You can call the CreateCenChildInstanceRouteEntryToAttachment operation to create a route for a network instance connected to an Enterprise Edition transit router. The next hop of the route points to the transit router in the current region.

Operation description

  • You can create routes only for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and virtual border router (VBR) instances that are connected to an Enterprise Edition transit router.

  • The next hop of the route is the transit router connection (the network instance connection) by default and cannot be modified.

  • CreateCenChildInstanceRouteEntryToAttachment is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns a RequestId and creates the route in the background. The route is not created immediately. You can call the DescribeRouteEntryList operation for the VPC to query the status of the route.
    • If the route is in the Pending state, it is being created. During this time, you can only query the route and cannot perform other operations.

    • If the route is in the Available state, the route is created.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that support authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

ClientToken

string

No

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request.

You can use the client to generate a token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters.

Note

If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the RequestId of the request as the ClientToken. The RequestId may be different for each request.

02fb3da4-130e-11e9-8e44-001****

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform a dry run, without performing the actual request. The dry run checks permissions and the status of the instance. Valid values:

  • false (default): sends a normal request and creates a route for the network instance after the request passes the check.

  • true: sends a dry run request to check the request parameters. If the request passes the check, the system does not create a route for the network instance. The system checks the required parameters and the request format. If the request fails the check, an error message is returned. If the request passes the check, the DryRunOperation error code is returned.

Note

This parameter is not in use.

false

CenId

string

Yes

The ID of the CEN instance.

vpc-bp1n6cbxcszp55vxo****

TransitRouterAttachmentId

string

Yes

The ID of the network instance connection.

RouteTableId

string

Yes

The ID of the route table of the network instance.

vrt-bp1msipdczo9lejup****

DestinationCidrBlock

string

Yes

The destination CIDR block of the route.
