Cloud Enterprise Network:CreateTransitRouterPrefixListAssociation

Last Updated:Aug 12, 2026

Associates a prefix list with an Enterprise Edition transit router route table.

Operation description

Before you associate a prefix list with an Enterprise Edition transit router route table, make sure that the following conditions are met:

  • You understand the limits and routing compatibility information of prefix lists. For more information, see Prefix lists.

  • You have created a prefix list. For more information, see CreateVpcPrefixList.

  • If you want to associate a cross-account prefix list with an Enterprise Edition transit router route table, make sure that the prefix list is shared with the Alibaba Cloud account that owns the Enterprise Edition transit router route table. For more information about how to share a prefix list, see Overview of resource sharing and API reference (Resource Sharing).

Try this API in OpenAPI Explorer, no manual signing needed. Successful calls auto-generate SDK code matching your parameters. Download it with built-in credential security for local usage.

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 client 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.

123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-4266****

RegionId

string

Yes

The region ID of the transit router instance.

You can call the DescribeChildInstanceRegions operation to query the region ID.

cn-hangzhou

TransitRouterId

string

Yes

The ID of the transit router instance.

tr-6ehx7q2jze8ch5ji0****

NextHopType

string

No

The next hop type. Valid values:

  • BlackHole: specifies that all CIDR blocks in the prefix list are blackhole routes. All traffic destined for the CIDR blocks in the prefix list is dropped.

  • VPC: specifies that the next hop of the CIDR blocks in the prefix list is a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) connection.

  • VBR: specifies that the next hop of the CIDR blocks in the prefix list is a Virtual Border Router (VBR) connection.

  • TR: specifies that the next hop of the CIDR blocks in the prefix list is an inter-region connection.

  • ECR: specifies that the next hop of the CIDR blocks in the prefix list is an Express Connect Router (ECR) instance.

VPC

PrefixListId

string

Yes

The ID of the prefix list.

pl-6ehtn5kqxgeyy08fi****

TransitRouterTableId

string

Yes

The ID of the transit router route table.

vtb-6ehgc262hr170qgyc****

NextHop

string

Yes

The ID of the next hop connection.

To configure all CIDR blocks in the prefix list as blackhole routes, set this parameter to BlackHole.

tr-attach-flbq507rg2ckrj****

OwnerUid

integer

No

The ID of the Alibaba Cloud account that owns the prefix list.

1210123456123456

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform a dry run. Valid values:

  • true: performs a dry run without creating the association. The system checks the required parameters, request syntax, and business restrictions. If the check fails, the corresponding error is returned. If the check succeeds, the error code DryRunOperation is returned.

  • false (default): performs a dry run and creates the association after the check succeeds.
