Creating a Custom Route Table

Scenarios

A VPC automatically comes with a default route table. If your default route table cannot meet your service requirements, you can create a custom route table.

Notes and Constraints

By default, you do not have a quota for creating custom route tables. To create custom route tables, you need to apply for a quota increase first. For details, see How Do I Apply for a Higher Quota?

Procedure

1. Go to the route table list page.
2. In the upper right corner, click Create Route Table. On the displayed page, configure parameters as prompted.
