CreateIpv6Gateway-阿里云帮助中心

Creates an IPv6 gateway to control IPv6 network traffic in a virtual private cloud (VPC).

Operation description

Before you create an IPv6 gateway, make sure that enable IPv6 CIDR block feature is enabled for the destination VPC and vSwitch. You can call the DescribeVpcAttribute operation to query the VPC configurations.
You can create only one IPv6 gateway in a VPC.
The CreateIpv6Gateway operation is asynchronous. After you call this operation, the system returns an instance ID, but enable IPv6 gateway is not yet created and the backend task is still running. You can call the DescribeIpv6GatewayAttribute operation to query the creation status of enable IPv6 gateway:
- If enable IPv6 gateway is in the Creating state, enable IPv6 gateway is being created.
- If enable IPv6 gateway is in the Created state, enable IPv6 gateway is created.
The CreateIpv6Gateway operation does not support concurrent creation of IPv6 gateways in the same VPC.

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
RegionId	string	Yes	The region ID of the IPv6 gateway. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query region IDs.	cn-huhehaote
VpcId	string	Yes	The ID of the VPC for which you want to enable IPv6 gateway.	vpc-123sedrfswd23****
Name	string	No	The name of the IPv6 gateway. The name must be 0 to 128 characters in length and cannot start with `http://` or `https://`.	ipv6GW
Description	string	No	The description of the IPv6 gateway. The description must be 0 to 256 characters in length and cannot start with `http://` or `https://`.	ipv6gatewayforVPC1
ClientToken	string	No	The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the value, but you must make sure that the value 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 of each API request is unique.	0c593ea1-3bea-11e9-b96b-88e9fe637760
ResourceGroupId	string	No	The ID of the resource group to which the IPv6 gateway belongs. For more information about resource groups, see What is a resource group?.	rg-acfmxazb4ph6aiy****
Tag	array<object>	No	The tags of the resource.
	object	No	The tag.
Key	string	No	The tag key of the resource. You can specify up to 20 tag keys. If you specify this parameter, you cannot enter an empty string. A tag key can be up to 128 characters in length. It cannot start with `aliyun` or `acs:`, and cannot contain `http://` or `https://`.	FinanceDept
Value	string	No	The tag value of the resource. You can specify up to 20 tag values. If you specify this parameter, you can enter an empty string. A tag value can be up to 128 characters in length. It cannot start with `aliyun` or `acs:`, and cannot contain `http://` or `https://`.	FinanceJoshua
DryRun	boolean	No	Specifies whether to perform a dry run without performing the actual operation.
