Creating a Virtual Interface Peer

Function

This API is used to create an IPv6 peer. Each virtual interface can have two peers: IPv4 and IPv6 peers. When a virtual interface is created, an IPv4 peer is created by default. After a virtual interface peer is created, you can query its settings by viewing the virtual interface details. This API is available only in regions that support IPv6. To use this API, contact customer service.
