Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: compute1 --scope <scope> interconnects insert ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <project> (string)
    • Project ID for this request.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Interconnect:
  admin-enabled: boolean
  available-features: [string]
  creation-timestamp: string
  customer-name: string
  description: string
  google-ip-address: string
  google-reference-id: string
  id: string
  interconnect-attachments: [string]
  interconnect-type: string
  kind: string
  label-fingerprint: string
  labels: { string: string }
  link-type: string
  location: string
  macsec:
    fail-open: boolean
  macsec-enabled: boolean
  name: string
  noc-contact-email: string
  operational-status: string
  peer-ip-address: string
  provisioned-link-count: integer
  remote-location: string
  requested-features: [string]
  requested-link-count: integer
  satisfies-pzs: boolean
  self-link: string
  state: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . admin-enabled=false
    • Administrative status of the interconnect. When this is set to true, the Interconnect is functional and can carry traffic. When set to false, no packets can be carried over the interconnect and no BGP routes are exchanged over it. By default, the status is set to true.
  • available-features=ipsum
    • [Output only] List of features available for this Interconnect connection, which can take one of the following values: - MACSEC If present then the Interconnect connection is provisioned on MACsec capable hardware ports. If not present then the Interconnect connection is provisioned on non-MACsec capable ports and MACsec isn't supported and enabling MACsec fails.
    • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
  • creation-timestamp=elitr
    • [Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
  • customer-name=consetetur
    • Customer name, to put in the Letter of Authorization as the party authorized to request a crossconnect.
  • description=justo
    • An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
  • google-ip-address=takimata
    • [Output Only] IP address configured on the Google side of the Interconnect link. This can be used only for ping tests.
  • google-reference-id=diam
    • [Output Only] Google reference ID to be used when raising support tickets with Google or otherwise to debug backend connectivity issues.
  • id=dolore
    • [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
  • interconnect-attachments=diam
    • [Output Only] A list of the URLs of all InterconnectAttachments configured to use this Interconnect.
    • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
  • interconnect-type=ea
    • Type of interconnect, which can take one of the following values: - PARTNER: A partner-managed interconnection shared between customers though a partner. - DEDICATED: A dedicated physical interconnection with the customer. Note that a value IT_PRIVATE has been deprecated in favor of DEDICATED.
  • kind=kasd
    • [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#interconnect for interconnects.
  • label-fingerprint=sit
    • A fingerprint for the labels being applied to this Interconnect, which is essentially a hash of the labels set used for optimistic locking. The fingerprint is initially generated by Compute Engine and changes after every request to modify or update labels. You must always provide an up-to-date fingerprint hash in order to update or change labels, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet. To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve an Interconnect.
  • labels=key=dolores
    • Labels for this resource. These can only be added or modified by the setLabels method. Each label key/value pair must comply with RFC1035. Label values may be empty.
    • the value will be associated with the given key

    • Type of link requested, which can take one of the following values: - LINK_TYPE_ETHERNET_10G_LR: A 10G Ethernet with LR optics - LINK_TYPE_ETHERNET_100G_LR: A 100G Ethernet with LR optics. Note that this field indicates the speed of each of the links in the bundle, not the speed of the entire bundle.
  • location=et
    • URL of the InterconnectLocation object that represents where this connection is to be provisioned.

  • macsec fail-open=false

    • If set to true, the Interconnect connection is configured with a should-secure MACsec security policy, that allows the Google router to fallback to cleartext traffic if the MKA session cannot be established. By default, the Interconnect connection is configured with a must-secure security policy that drops all traffic if the MKA session cannot be established with your router.

  • .. macsec-enabled=false

    • Enable or disable MACsec on this Interconnect connection. MACsec enablement fails if the MACsec object is not specified.
  • name=sea
    • Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
  • noc-contact-email=at
    • Email address to contact the customer NOC for operations and maintenance notifications regarding this Interconnect. If specified, this will be used for notifications in addition to all other forms described, such as Cloud Monitoring logs alerting and Cloud Notifications.

No attachments may be provisioned on this Interconnect. - OS_UNDER_MAINTENANCE: An Interconnect that is undergoing internal maintenance. No attachments may be provisioned or updated on this Interconnect.
  • peer-ip-address=et
    • [Output Only] IP address configured on the customer side of the Interconnect link. The customer should configure this IP address during turnup when prompted by Google NOC. This can be used only for ping tests.
  • provisioned-link-count=24
    • [Output Only] Number of links actually provisioned in this interconnect.
  • remote-location=et
    • Indicates that this is a Cross-Cloud Interconnect. This field specifies the location outside of Google's network that the interconnect is connected to.
  • requested-features=dolores
    • Optional. List of features requested for this Interconnect connection, which can take one of the following values: - MACSEC If specified then the connection is created on MACsec capable hardware ports. If not specified, the default value is false, which allocates non-MACsec capable ports first if available. This parameter can be provided only with Interconnect INSERT. It isn't valid for Interconnect PATCH.
    • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
  • requested-link-count=82
    • Target number of physical links in the link bundle, as requested by the customer.

No attachments may be provisioned on this Interconnect. - UNDER_MAINTENANCE: The Interconnect is undergoing internal maintenance. No attachments may be provisioned or updated on this Interconnect.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

  • -p request-id=string
    • An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments. The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported ( 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).
