Cloud Enterprise Network:CreateTransitRouterMulticastDomain

Last Updated:Aug 07, 2025

A multicast domain defines the scope of a multicast network in a region. Only resources within the multicast domain can send and receive multicast traffic. You can call the CreateTransitRouterMulticastDomain operation to create a multicast domain.

Operation description

Before you call this operation, note the following:

  • Make sure that you have created an Enterprise Edition transit router in the region where you want to create the multicast network and enabled the multicast feature for the transit router. For more information, see CreateTransitRouter.

    If you created an Enterprise Edition transit router before you requested multicast resources, you cannot enable the multicast feature for the transit router. You must delete the current Enterprise Edition transit router and create a new one. For more information about how to delete an Enterprise Edition transit router, see DeleteTransitRouter.

  • When you call the CreateTransitRouterMulticastDomain operation, if you specify CenId and RegionId, you do not need to specify TransitRouterId. If you specify TransitRouterId, you do not need to specify CenId or RegionId.

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.

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform a dry run. Valid values:

  • true: performs a dry run. The system checks the required parameters, request format, and service limits. If the request fails the dry run, an error message is returned. If the request passes the dry run, the DryRunOperation error code is returned.

  • false (default): sends a normal request. After the request passes the check, the multicast domain is created.

false

Tag

array<object>

No

The tag.

You can specify up to 20 tags in each call.
