    Virtual Private Cloud:CreateDefaultVSwitch

    Last Updated:Mar 22, 2024

    Creates a default vSwitch.

    Operation description

    When you call this operation, take note of the following limits:

    • The first IP address and last three IP addresses of a vSwitch CIDR block are reserved. For example, if the CIDR block of a vSwitch is 192.168.1.0/24, the IP addresses 192.168.1.0, 192.168.1.253, 192.168.1.254, and 192.168.1.255 are reserved.

    • The number of instances in the default vSwitch cannot exceed the remaining number of instances supported by the VPC (15,000 minus the number of existing instances).

    • Default vSwitches do not support multicasting or broadcasting.

    • After you create a default vSwitch, you cannot modify its CIDR block.

    • CreateDefaultVSwitch is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call the DescribeVSwitchAttributes operation to query the status of a default vSwitch:

      • If a default vSwitch is in the Pending state, it is being configured.
      • If a default vSwitch is in the Available state, it is available.

    • If a default vSwitch already exists in a region, you cannot call this operation to create a default vSwitch in this region.

    • Before you create a default vSwitch, make sure that a default VPC is created. You can call the CreateDefaultVpc operation to create a default VPC.

    Debugging

    OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.

    Authorization information

    The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

    • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
    • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
    • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
      • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
      • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
    • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
    • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

    Request parameters

    ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionExample
    ZoneIdstringYes

    The zone ID of the default vSwitch.

    You can call the DescribeZones operation to query the most recent zone list.

    		cn-hangzhou-b
    RegionIdstringYes

    The region ID of the default vSwitch.

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

    		cn-hangzhou
    Ipv6CidrBlockintegerNo

    The last eight bits of the IPv6 CIDR block of the vSwitch. Valid values: 0 to 255.

    		12
    ClientTokenstringNo

    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 token can contain only ASCII characters.

    Note If you do not set this parameter, the system automatically uses the request ID as the client token. The request ID may be different for each request.
