Updating a Subnet

Function

This API is used to update information about a subnet.

Restrictions

When updating the allocation_pools field, neither gateway nor broadcast IP addresses can be included.

URI

PUT /v2.0/subnets/{subnet_id}

Request Parameters

**Table 1** Request parameter
Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description
subnet	subnet object	Yes	Specifies the subnet. For details, see Table 2. You must specify at least one attribute when updating a subnet.

**Table 2** **subnet** objects
Attribute	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	No	String	Specifies the subnet name.
allocation_pools	No	Array of allocation_pool objects	Specifies the available IP address pool. For details about the allocation_pool objects, see Table 3. Example: [ { "start": "10.0.0.2", "end": "10.0.0.251"} ] The last three and the first IP addresses in each subnet are the ones reserved by the system. For example, in subnet 192.168.1.0/24, IP addresses 192.168.1.0, 192.168.1.253, 192.168.1.254, and 192.168.1.255 are reserved by the system. By default, the IP addresses reserved by the system are not in the IP address pool specified by allocation_pool. When updating an IP address pool, the allocation_pool value can contain neither gateway nor broadcast IP addresses.
dns_nameservers	No	Array of strings	Specifies the DNS server address. Instructions: Example: "dns_nameservers": ["8.xx.xx.8","8.xx.xx.4"] A maximum of five DNS server addresses are supported.
host_routes	No	Array of host_route objects	Specifies the static VM routes. For details, see Table 4. Static routes are not supported, and entered information will be ignored.
enable_dhcp	No	Boolean	Specifies whether to enable the DHCP function. Value false indicates that the DHCP function is not enabled. The value can only be true.

**Table 3** **allocation_pool** objects
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
start	No	String	Specifies the start IP address of a network pool.
end	No	String	Specifies the end IP address of a network pool.

**Table 4** **host_route** objects
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
destination	No	String	Specifies the destination subnet of a route.
nexthop	No	String	Specifies the next-hop IP address of a route.

Example Request

Change the name of the subnet whose ID is 98bac90c-0ba7-4a63-8995-097da9bead1c to subnet-test.

PUT https://{Endpoint}/v2.0/subnets/98bac90c-0ba7-4a63-8995-097da9bead1c  
{
  "subnet": {
    "name": "subnet-test"
  }
}

Response Parameters

**Table 5** Response parameter
Parameter	Type	Description
subnet	subnet object	Specifies the subnet. For details, see Table 6.

**Table 6** **subnet** objects
Attribute	Type	Description
id	String	Specifies the subnet ID. This parameter is not mandatory when you query subnets.
name	String	Specifies the subnet name.
ip_version	Integer	Specifies the IP address version. The value can be 4 (IPv4) or 6 (IPv6).
network_id	String	Specifies the ID of the network to which the subnet belongs.
cidr	String	Specifies the CIDR format. Only the IPv4 addresses in the 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16 ranges are supported. The subnet mask cannot be greater than 28.
gateway_ip	String	The gateway IP address cannot conflict with IP addresses configured for allocation_pools. This attribute cannot be modified.
allocation_pools	Array of allocation_pool objects	Specifies the available IP address pool. For details, see the allocation_pool objects. Table 7 Example: [ { "start": "10.0.0.2", "end": "10.0.0.251"} ] The last three and the first IP addresses in each subnet are the ones reserved by the system. For example, in IPv4 subnet 192.168.1.0/24, IP addresses 192.168.1.0, 192.168.1.253, 192.168.1.254, and 192.168.1.255 are reserved by the system. By default, the IP addresses reserved by the system are not in the IP address pool specified by allocation_pool. When updating an IP address pool, the allocation_pool value can contain neither gateway nor broadcast IP addresses.
dns_nameservers	Array of strings	Specifies the DNS server address. Example: "dns_nameservers": ["8.xx.xx.8","8.xx.xx.4"]
host_routes	Array of host_route objects	Specifies the static VM routes. For details, see Table 8. Static routes are not supported, and entered information will be ignored.
tenant_id	String	Specifies the project ID.
enable_dhcp	Boolean	Specifies whether to enable the DHCP function. Value false indicates that the DHCP function is not enabled. The value can only be true.
project_id	String	Specifies the project ID. For details about how to obtain a project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.
created_at	String	Specifies the time (UTC) when the subnet is created. Format: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss
updated_at	String	Specifies the time (UTC) when the subnet is updated. Format: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss

end	String	Specifies the end IP address of a network pool.

**Table 8** **host_route** objects
Parameter	Type	Remarks
destination	String	Specifies the destination subnet of a route.
nexthop	String	Specifies the next-hop IP address of a route.
