kindstring
Output only. Type of the resource. Always compute#network for networks.
idstring (uint64 format)
Output only. The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
creationTimestampstring
Output only. Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
namestring
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])?. The first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters (except for the last character) must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit. The last character must be a lowercase letter or digit.
descriptionstring
An optional description of this resource. Provide this field when you create the resource.
IPv4Range
(deprecated)string
Deprecated in favor of subnet mode networks. The range of internal addresses that are legal on this network. This range is a CIDR specification, for example: 192.168.0.0/16. Provided by the client when the network is created.
gatewayIPv4string
Output only. The gateway address for default routing out of the network, selected by Google Cloud.
selfLinkstring
Output only. Server-defined URL for the resource.
selfLinkWithIdstring
Output only. Server-defined URL for this resource with the resource id.
autoCreateSubnetworksboolean
Must be set to create a VPC network. If not set, a legacy network is created.
When set to true, the VPC network is created in auto mode. When set to false, the VPC network is created in custom mode.
An auto mode VPC network starts with one subnet per region. Each subnet has a predetermined range as described in Auto mode VPC network IP ranges.
For custom mode VPC networks, you can add subnets using the subnetworks insert method.
subnetworks[]string
Output only. Server-defined fully-qualified URLs for all subnetworks in this VPC network.
peerings[]object
Output only. A list of network peerings for the resource.
peerings[].namestring
Name of this peering. Provided by the client when the peering is created. The name must comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?. The first character must be a lowercase letter, and all the following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
peerings[].networkstring
The URL of the peer network. It can be either full URL or partial URL. The peer network may belong to a different project. If the partial URL does not contain project, it is assumed that the peer network is in the same project as the current network.
peerings[].stateenum
Output only. State for the peering.
peerings[].stateDetailsstring
Output only. Details about the current state of the peering.
peerings[].autoCreateRoutesboolean
This field will be deprecated soon. Use the exchangeSubnetRoutes field instead. Indicates whether full mesh connectivity is created and managed automatically between peered networks. Currently this field should always be true since Google Compute Engine will automatically create and manage subnetwork routes between two networks when peering state is ACTIVE.
peerings[].exportCustomRoutesboolean
Whether to export the custom routes to peer network. The default value is false.
peerings[].importCustomRoutesboolean
Whether to import the custom routes from peer network. The default value is false.
peerings[].exchangeSubnetRoutesboolean
Indicates whether full mesh connectivity is created and managed automatically between peered networks. Currently this field should always be true since Google Compute Engine will automatically create and manage subnetwork routes between two networks when peering state is ACTIVE.
peerings[].exportSubnetRoutesWithPublicIpboolean
Whether subnet routes with public IP range are exported. The default value is true, all subnet routes are exported. IPv4 special-use ranges are always exported to peers and are not controlled by this field.
peerings[].importSubnetRoutesWithPublicIpboolean
Whether subnet routes with public IP range are imported. The default value is false. IPv4 special-use ranges are always imported from peers and are not controlled by this field.
peerings[].peerMtuinteger
Output only. Maximum Transmission Unit in bytes of the peer network.
peerings[].stackTypeenum
Which IP version(s) of traffic and routes are allowed to be imported or exported between peer networks. The default value is IPV4_ONLY.
peerings[].updateStrategyenum
The update strategy determines the semantics for updates and deletes to the peering connection configuration.
peerings[].connectionStatusobject
Output only. The effective state of the peering connection as a whole.
peerings[].connectionStatus.updateStrategyenum
The update strategy determines the update/delete semantics for this peering connection.
peerings[].connectionStatus.trafficConfigurationobject
The active connectivity settings for the peering connection based on the settings of the network peerings.
peerings[].connectionStatus.trafficConfiguration.stackTypeenum
Which IP version(s) of traffic and routes are being imported or exported between peer networks.
peerings[].connectionStatus.trafficConfiguration.importCustomRoutesFromPeerboolean
Whether custom routes are being imported from the peer network.
peerings[].connectionStatus.trafficConfiguration.exportCustomRoutesToPeerboolean
Whether custom routes are being exported to the peer network.
peerings[].connectionStatus.trafficConfiguration.importSubnetRoutesWithPublicIpFromPeerboolean
Whether subnet routes with public IP ranges are being imported from the peer network.
peerings[].connectionStatus.trafficConfiguration.exportSubnetRoutesWithPublicIpToPeerboolean
Whether subnet routes with public IP ranges are being exported to the peer network.
peerings[].connectionStatus.consensusStateobject
The consensus state contains information about the status of update and delete for a consensus peering connection.
peerings[].connectionStatus.consensusState.deleteStatusenum
The status of the delete request.
peerings[].connectionStatus.consensusState.updateStatusenum
The status of the update request.
routingConfigobject
The network-level routing configuration for this network. Used by Cloud Router to determine what type of network-wide routing behavior to enforce.
routingConfig.routingModeenum
The network-wide routing mode to use. If set to REGIONAL, this network's Cloud Routers will only advertise routes with subnets of this network in the same region as the router. If set to GLOBAL, this network's Cloud Routers will advertise routes with all subnets of this network, across regions.
routingConfig.bgpBestPathSelectionModeenum
The BGP best path selection algorithm to be employed within this network for dynamic routes learned by Cloud Routers. Can be LEGACY (default) or STANDARD.

networkFirewallPolicyEnforcementOrderenum
The network firewall policy enforcement order. Can be either AFTER_CLASSIC_FIREWALL or BEFORE_CLASSIC_FIREWALL. Defaults to AFTER_CLASSIC_FIREWALL if the field is not specified.
enableUlaInternalIpv6boolean
Enable ULA internal ipv6 on this network. Enabling this feature will assign a /48 from google defined ULA prefix fd20::/20. .
internalIpv6Rangestring
When enabling ula internal ipv6, caller optionally can specify the /48 range they want from the google defined ULA prefix fd20::/20. The input must be a valid /48 ULA IPv6 address and must be within the fd20::/20. Operation will fail if the speficied /48 is already in used by another resource. If the field is not speficied, then a /48 range will be randomly allocated from fd20::/20 and returned via this field. .
networkProfilestring
A full or partial URL of the network profile to apply to this network. This field can be set only at resource creation time. For example, the following are valid URLs:
https://www.googleapis.com/compute/{apiVersion}/projects/{projectId}/global/networkProfiles/{network_profile_name}projects/{projectId}/global/networkProfiles/{network_profile_name}paramsobject
Input only. [Input Only] Additional params passed with the request, but not persisted as part of resource payload.
