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
EnsRegionId	string	Yes	The ID of the ENS edge zone.	cn-xian-unicom
CidrBlock	string	Yes	The CIDR block of the vSwitch. The CIDR block must meet the following requirements: The subnet mask length of the vSwitch CIDR block must be 16 to 29 bits. The vSwitch CIDR block must fall within the CIDR block of the VPC to which the vSwitch belongs. The vSwitch CIDR block cannot be the same as the destination CIDR block of a route entry in the VPC, but it can be a subset of the destination CIDR block.	172.16.0.0/24
VSwitchName	string	No	The name of the vSwitch. The name must meet the following requirements: The name must be 2 to 128 characters in length. The name must start with a letter or a Chinese character, and cannot start with http:// or https://. It can contain digits, half-width colons (:), underscores (_), and hyphens (-). Default value: empty.	Test vSwitch
Description	string	No	The description of the vSwitch. The description must be 2 to 256 characters in length. It must start with a letter or a Chinese character and cannot start with http:// or https://.	This is my vswitch.
NetworkId	string	No	The ID of the network to which the new vSwitch belongs.	n-257gqcdfvx6n****
Tag	array<object>	No	The resource tags.
	object	No	The tags of the resource.
Key	string	No	The tag key of the instance. Valid values of N: 1 to 20. The tag key cannot start with `aliyun`, `acs:`, `http://`, or `https://`. The tag key can be up to 64 characters in length. The tag key cannot be an empty string.	team
Value	string	No	The tag value of the resource. Valid values of N: 1 to 20. The tag value can be an empty string. The tag value can be up to 128 characters in length, and cannot start with acs: or contain http:// or https://.	Deep
Ipv6CidrBlock	string	No	The IPv6 CIDR block of the vSwitch. Note You can specify this parameter to assign an IPv6 CIDR block to the vSwitch only when IPv6 is enabled for the network to which the vSwitch belongs. After the IPv6 CIDR block is assigned, it cannot be changed. Make sure that the IPv6 CIDR block does not overlap with the CIDR blocks of other vSwitches in the same network.	2408:XXXX:0:a600::/110
