Cloud Enterprise Network:CreateTransitRouterVbrAttachment

Last Updated:Jul 15, 2026

Creates a Virtual Border Router (VBR) connection on an Enterprise Edition transit router in the same region to enable private network peering between the VBR network instance and the transit router.

Operation description

  • For information about the regions and zones supported by Enterprise Edition transit routers, see What is Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN)?.

  • You can create a VBR connection on an Enterprise Edition transit router in the following ways:

    • If you have already created an Enterprise Edition transit router instance in the target region, you can create a VBR connection by specifying VbrId, RegionId, and TransitRouterId.

    • If you do not have an Enterprise Edition transit router instance in the target region, you can create a VBR connection by specifying VbrId, CenId, and RegionId. The system automatically creates an Enterprise Edition transit router instance when the VBR connection is created.

  • CreateTransitRouterVbrAttachment is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns a VBR connection ID but the VBR connection is not yet created. The creation task runs in the background. You can call ListTransitRouterVbrAttachments to query the status of the VBR connection.

    • If the VBR connection is in the Attaching state, the VBR connection is being created. In this state, you can only query the VBR connection and cannot perform other operations on it.

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

  • The Alibaba Cloud account that owns the transit router and the Alibaba Cloud account that owns the VBR instance must belong to the same enterprise.

  • Transit routers support connections to VBR instances that belong to the same account or a different account. Before creating a cross-account VBR connection, obtain authorization from the VBR instance owner. For more information, see Cross-account authorization for network instances.

  • After a VBR connection is created, the VBR connection does not establish route learning or association forwarding relationships with any transit router route table by default.

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.

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.

AutoPublishRouteEnabled

boolean

No

Specifies whether to allow the Enterprise Edition transit router to automatically publish routes to the VBR instance.

  • false (default): no.

  • true: yes.

false

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform a dry run, including permission and instance status verification. Valid values:

  • false (default): sends a normal request. If the request passes the check, the VBR connection is created.

  • true: sends a check request. Only verification is performed without creating the VBR connection. The system checks whether required parameters are specified and whether the request format is valid. If the check fails, the corresponding error is returned. If the check succeeds, the corresponding request ID is returned.
