Options

--global-network-id (string)

The ID of the global network.

--description (string)

A description of the link.

Constraints: Maximum length of 256 characters.

--type (string)

The type of the link.

Constraints: Maximum length of 128 characters. Cannot include the following characters: | ^

--bandwidth (structure)

The upload speed and download speed in Mbps.

UploadSpeed -> (integer)

Upload speed in Mbps.

DownloadSpeed -> (integer)

Download speed in Mbps.

Shorthand Syntax:

UploadSpeed=integer,DownloadSpeed=integer

JSON Syntax:

{
  "UploadSpeed": integer,
  "DownloadSpeed": integer
}

--provider (string)

The provider of the link.

Constraints: Maximum length of 128 characters. Cannot include the following characters: | ^

--site-id (string)

The ID of the site.

--tags (list)

The tags to apply to the resource during creation.

(structure)

Describes a tag.

Key -> (string)

The tag key.

Constraints: Maximum length of 128 characters.

Value -> (string)

The tag value.

Constraints: Maximum length of 256 characters.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To create a link

The following create-link example creates a link in the specified global network. The link includes a description and details about the link type, bandwidth, and provider. The site ID indicates the site to which the link is associated.

aws networkmanager create-link \
    --global-network-id global-network-01231231231231231 \
    --description "VPN Link" \
    --type "broadband" \
    --bandwidth UploadSpeed=10,DownloadSpeed=20 \
    --provider "AnyCompany" \
    --site-id site-444555aaabbb11223 \
    --region us-west-2

Output:

{
    "Link": {
        "LinkId": "link-11112222aaaabbbb1",
        "LinkArn": "arn:aws:networkmanager::123456789012:link/global-network-01231231231231231/link-11112222aaaabbbb1",
        "GlobalNetworkId": "global-network-01231231231231231",
        "SiteId": "site-444555aaabbb11223",
        "Description": "VPN Link",
        "Type": "broadband",
        "Bandwidth": {
            "UploadSpeed": 10,
            "DownloadSpeed": 20
        },
        "Provider": "AnyCompany",
        "CreatedAt": 1575555811.0,
        "State": "PENDING"
    }
}
