SYNOPSIS

gcloud compute public-delegated-prefixes create NAME --range=RANGE (--public-advertised-prefix=PUBLIC_ADVERTISED_PREFIX | --public-delegated-prefix=PUBLIC_DELEGATED_PREFIX) [--allocatable-prefix-length=ALLOCATABLE_PREFIX_LENGTH] [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--enable-live-migration] [--mode=MODE] [--global | --region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

EXAMPLES

To create a public delegated prefix:

gcloud compute public-delegated-prefixes create my-public-delegated-prefix --public-advertised-prefix=my-pap --range=120.120.10.128/27 --global

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME: Name of the public delegated prefix to operate on.

REQUIRED FLAGS

--range=RANGE: IP range from this public delegated prefix that should be delegated, in CIDR format. It must be smaller than parent public advertised prefix range.
Exactly one of these must be specified: --public-advertised-prefix=PUBLIC_ADVERTISED_PREFIX Public advertised prefix that this delegated prefix is created from. --public-delegated-prefix=PUBLIC_DELEGATED_PREFIX Regional Public delegated prefix that this delegated prefix is created from.

OPTIONAL FLAGS

--allocatable-prefix-length=ALLOCATABLE_PREFIX_LENGTH: The allocatable prefix length supported by this PDP.
--description=DESCRIPTION: Description of this public delegated prefix.
--enable-live-migration: Specify if this public delegated prefix is meant to be live migrated.
--mode=MODE: Specifies the mode of this IPv6 PDP. MODE must be one of: delegation, external-ipv6-forwarding-rule-creation, external-ipv6-subnetwork-creation, internal-ipv6-subnetwork-creation.
At most one of these can be specified: --global If set, the public delegated prefix is global. --region=REGION Region of the public delegated prefix to operate on. Overrides the default compute/region property value for this command invocation.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
