Creates a VpnTunnel resource in the specified project and region using the data included in the request.

HTTP request

POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/regions/{region}/vpnTunnels

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters

Parameters
`project`	`string` Project ID for this request.
`region`	`string` Name of the region for this request.

project

string

Project ID for this request.

region

string

Name of the region for this request.

Query parameters

Parameters

Parameters
`requestId`	`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`).

requestId

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).

Fields
`id`	`string (fixed64 format)` [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
`creationTimestamp`	`string` [Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
`name`	`string` [REQUIRED] 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.
`description`	`string` An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
`region`	`string` [Output Only] URL of the region where the VPN tunnel resides. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.
`targetVpnGateway`	`string` URL of the Target VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated. Provided by the client when the VPN tunnel is created. Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource `targetVpnGateway`: `compute.targetVpnGateways.use`
`vpnGateway`	`string` URL of the VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated. Provided by the client when the VPN tunnel is created. This must be used (instead of targetVpnGateway) if a High Availability VPN gateway resource is created. Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource `vpnGateway`: `compute.vpnGateways.use`
`vpnGatewayInterface`	`integer` The interface ID of the VPN gateway with which this VPN tunnel is associated.
`peerExternalGateway`	`string` URL of the peer side external VPN gateway to which this VPN tunnel is connected. Provided by the client when the VPN tunnel is created. This field is exclusive with the field peerGcpGateway. Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource `peerExternalGateway`: `compute.externalVpnGateways.use`
`peerExternalGatewayInterface`	`integer` The interface ID of the external VPN gateway to which this VPN tunnel is connected. Provided by the client when the VPN tunnel is created.

This field can be used when creating highly available VPN from VPC network to VPC network, the field is exclusive with the field peerExternalGateway. If provided, the VPN tunnel will automatically use the same vpnGatewayInterface ID in the peer GCP VPN gateway. Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource `peerGcpGateway`: `compute.vpnGateways.use`
`router`	`string` URL of the router resource to be used for dynamic routing. Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource `router`: `compute.routers.use`
`peerIp`	`string` IP address of the peer VPN gateway. Only IPv4 is supported.
`sharedSecret`	`string` Shared secret used to set the secure session between the Cloud VPN gateway and the peer VPN gateway.
`sharedSecretHash`	`string` Hash of the shared secret.
`status`	`enum` [Output Only] The status of the VPN tunnel, which can be one of the following: PROVISIONING: Resource is being allocated for the VPN tunnel. WAITING_FOR_FULL_CONFIG: Waiting to receive all VPN-related configs from the user. Network, TargetVpnGateway, VpnTunnel, ForwardingRule, and Route resources are needed to setup the VPN tunnel. FIRST_HANDSHAKE: Successful first handshake with the peer VPN. ESTABLISHED: Secure session is successfully established with the peer VPN. NETWORK_ERROR: Deprecated, replaced by NO_INCOMING_PACKETS AUTHORIZATION_ERROR: Auth error (for example, bad shared secret). NEGOTIATION_FAILURE: Handshake failed. DEPROVISIONING: Resources are being deallocated for the VPN tunnel. FAILED: Tunnel creation has failed and the tunnel is not ready to be used. NO_INCOMING_PACKETS: No incoming packets from peer. REJECTED: Tunnel configuration was rejected, can be result of being blacklisted. ALLOCATING_RESOURCES: Cloud VPN is in the process of allocating all required resources. STOPPED: Tunnel is stopped due to its Forwarding Rules being deleted for Classic VPN tunnels or the project is in frozen state. PEER_IDENTITY_MISMATCH: Peer identity does not match peer IP, probably behind NAT. TS_NARROWING_NOT_ALLOWED: Traffic selector narrowing not allowed for an HA-VPN tunnel.
`selfLink`	`string` [Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
`ikeVersion`	`integer` IKE protocol version to use when establishing the VPN tunnel with the peer VPN gateway. Acceptable IKE versions are `1` or `2`. The default version is `2`.
`detailedStatus`	`string` [Output Only] Detailed status message for the VPN tunnel.
`localTrafficSelector[]`	`string` Local traffic selector to use when establishing the VPN tunnel with the peer VPN gateway. The value should be a CIDR formatted string, for example: `192.168.0.0/16`. The ranges must be disjoint. Only IPv4 is supported.
`remoteTrafficSelector[]`	`string` Remote traffic selectors to use when establishing the VPN tunnel with the peer VPN gateway. The value should be a CIDR formatted string, for example: 192.168.0.0/16. The ranges should be disjoint. Only IPv4 is supported.
`kind`	`string` [Output Only] Type of resource. Always `compute#vpnTunnel` for VPN tunnels.
