Cloud Enterprise Network:CreateCenChildInstanceRouteEntryToAttachment

Last Updated:Aug 12, 2026

Adds a route entry to a network instance connected to an Enterprise Edition transit router. The destination CIDR block points to the transit router in the current region as the next hop.

Operation description

  • You can add route entries only to Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) instances and Virtual Border Router (VBR) instances that are connected to an Enterprise Edition transit router.

  • The next hop of the route entry defaults to the transit router connection (network instance connection) and cannot be modified.

  • CreateCenChildInstanceRouteEntryToAttachment is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns a RequestId but the route entry is not yet created. The creation task continues to run in the background. You can call the DescribeRouteEntryList operation of VPC to query the status of the route entry.
    • If the route entry is in the Pending state, the route entry is being created. In this state, you can only query the route entry but cannot perform other operations.

    • If the route entry is in the Available state, the route entry 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 supports 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 the 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 API request as the ClientToken. The RequestId may be different for each API request.

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform a dry run. The dry run checks parameter validity, user permissions, and instance status. Valid values:

  • false (default): Sends a normal request. If the request passes the check, a route entry is added to the network instance.

  • true: Sends a check request. No route entry is added to the network instance. The system checks the required parameters, request format, and other conditions. If the check fails, the corresponding error is returned. If the check passes, the error code DryRunOperation is returned.

Note

This parameter is not currently in effect.

false

CenId

string

Yes

The Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) instance ID.

cen-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 entry.
