Cloud Enterprise Network:CreateTransitRouterVpcAttachment

Last Updated:Jun 06, 2025

Attaches virtual private clouds (VPCs) that you want to connect to a transit router. After you attach the VPCs to the same transit router, the VPCs can communicate with each other.

Operation description

  • You can use the following methods to create a VPC connection from an Enterprise Edition transit router:

    • If an Enterprise Edition transit router is already created in the region where you want to create a VPC connection, configure the VpcId, ZoneMappings.N.VSwitchId, ZoneMappings.N.ZoneId, TransitRouterId, and RegionId parameters.

    • If no Enterprise Edition transit router is created in the region where you want to create a VPC connection, configure the VpcId, ZoneMappings.N.VSwitchId, ZoneMappings.N.ZoneId, CenId, and RegionId parameters. Then, the system automatically creates an Enterprise Edition transit router in the specified region.

  • CreateTransitRouterVpcAttachment is an asynchronous operation. After a request is sent, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call the ListTransitRouterVpcAttachments operation to query the status of a VPC connection.

    • If the VPC connection is in the Attaching state, the VPC connection is being created. You can query the VPC connection but cannot perform other operations.

    • If the VPC connection is in the Attached state, the VPC connection is created.

  • By default, route learning and associated forwarding are disabled between transit router route tables and VPC connections.

Prerequisites

Before you call this operation, make sure that the following requirements are met:

Try it now

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 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 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. For more information, see Common condition keys.

  • 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.
