aws directconnect create-connection
Creates a connection between a customer network and a specific AWS Direct Connect location. A connection links your internal network to an AWS Direct Connect location over a standard Ethernet fiber-optic cable. One end of the cable is connected to your router, the other to an AWS Direct Connect router. To find the locations for your Region, use DescribeLocations. You can automatically add the new connection to a link aggregation group (LAG) by specifying a LAG ID in the request. This ensures that the new connection is allocated on the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint that hosts the specified LAG. If there are no available ports on the endpoint, the request fails and no connection is created
Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--location <string> | The location of the connection |
--bandwidth <string> | The bandwidth of the connection |
--connection-name <string> | The name of the connection |
--lag-id <string> | The ID of the LAG |
--tags <list> | The tags to associate with the lag |
--provider-name <string> | The name of the service provider associated with the requested connection |
--request-mac-sec | Indicates whether you want the connection to support MAC Security (MACsec). MAC Security (MACsec) is only available on dedicated connections. For information about MAC Security (MACsec) prerequisites, see MACsec prerequisites in the AWS Direct Connect User Guide |
--no-request-mac-sec | Indicates whether you want the connection to support MAC Security (MACsec). MAC Security (MACsec) is only available on dedicated connections. For information about MAC Security (MACsec) prerequisites, see MACsec prerequisites in the AWS Direct Connect User Guide |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally |
--generate-cli-skeleton <string> | Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
