3.6. Managing Virtual Routers

3.6.1. vinfra service compute router create

Create a virtual router:

                                            [--internal-interface <network=network,
                                            ip-addr=ip-addr>|<network>] <router-name>
--external-gateway <network>
Specify a public network to be used as the router’s external gateway (name or ID)
--enable-snat
Enable source NAT on the external gateway
--disable-snat
Disable source NAT on the external gateway
--fixed-ip <fixid-ip>
Desired IP on the external gateway
--internal-interface <network=network,ip-addr=ip-addr>|<network>

Specify an internal interface. This option can be used multiple times.

  • network: name of a private virtual network.
  • ip-addr: an unused IP address from the selected private network to assign to the interface; specify if the default gateway of the selected private network is in use.
<router-name>
Virtual router name
