Cloud Enterprise Network:CreateTransitRouter

Last Updated:Aug 07, 2025

You can call the CreateTransitRouter operation to create an Enterprise Edition transit router instance.

Operation description

  • You can call the CreateTransitRouter operation to create an Enterprise Edition transit router instance. Enterprise Edition transit routers are available only in some regions. For more information about the supported regions, see What is Cloud Enterprise Network?.

  • CreateTransitRouter is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns an Enterprise Edition transit router instance ID, but the instance is still being created in the background. You can call the ListTransitRouters operation to query the status of the Enterprise Edition transit router instance.
    • If an Enterprise Edition transit router instance is in the Creating state, you can only query the instance and cannot perform other operations.

    • If an Enterprise Edition transit router instance is in the Active state, the instance has been created.

  • You can create only one transit router instance in each region for a CEN instance.

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.

Generate a client token to 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****

CenId

string

Yes

The ID of the CEN instance.

cen-j3jzhw1zpau2km****

RegionId

string

Yes

The ID of the region where the Enterprise Edition transit router is deployed.

You can call the DescribeChildInstanceRegions operation to query the most recent region list.

cn-zhangjiakou

TransitRouterName

string

No

The name of the Enterprise Edition transit router instance.

The name can be empty or 1 to 128 characters in length, and cannot start with http:// or https://.

testname

TransitRouterDescription

string

No

The description of the Enterprise Edition transit router instance.

The description can be empty or 1 to 256 characters in length, and cannot start with http:// or https://.

testdesc

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform a dry run. The dry run checks permissions and whether the required parameters are specified. Valid values:

  • false (default): sends the request and creates the instance after the request passes the check.

  • true: sends a dry run request to check the parameters without creating the instance. The system checks the required parameters, request format, and permissions. 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

SupportMulticast

boolean

No

Specifies whether to enable the multicast feature for the Enterprise Edition transit router. Valid values:

  • false (default): disables the multicast feature.

  • true: enables the multicast feature.

The multicast feature is supported only in some regions. You can call the ListTransitRouterAvailableResource operation to query the regions that support multicast.

false

TransitRouterCidrList

array<object>

No

The CIDR blocks of the transit router.

object

No

The CIDR blocks of the transit router.

You can add at most five CIDR blocks. For more information about CIDR blocks of transit routers, see CIDR blocks of transit routers.

Note

Only Enterprise Edition transit routers support CIDR blocks.

Cidr

string

No

The CIDR block of the transit router.

192.168.10.0/24

Name

string

No

The name of the CIDR block.

The name must be 1 to 128 characters in length.

nametest

Description

string

No

The description of the CIDR block.

The description must be 1 to 256 characters in length.

desctest

PublishCidrRoute

boolean

No

Specifies whether to automatically advertise the route of the CIDR block to the route table of the transit router.

  • true (default): yes.

    If you select this option, after you create a VPN connection that uses a private gateway and create a route learning correlation for the VPN connection, the system automatically adds the following route to the route table of the transit router with which the VPN connection is associated:

    A blackhole route whose destination CIDR block is the CIDR block of the transit router. The CIDR block of the transit router refers to the CIDR block from which a gateway IP address is allocated to the IPsec connection.

    This blackhole route is advertised only to the route tables of virtual border router (VBR) instances that are connected to the transit router.

  • false: no.

true

Tag

array<object>

No

The tag.

object

No

The tag.

You can specify at most 20 tags.

Key

string
