SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha compute networks create NAME [--bgp-routing-mode=MODE; default="regional"] [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--[no-]enable-ula-internal-ipv6] [--internal-ipv6-range=INTERNAL_IPV6_RANGE] [--mtu=MTU] [--network-firewall-policy-enforcement-order=NETWORK_FIREWALL_POLICY_ENFORCEMENT_ORDER] [--range=RANGE] [--subnet-mode=MODE] [--bgp-best-path-selection-mode=BGP_BEST_PATH_SELECTION_MODE --[no-]bgp-bps-always-compare-med --bgp-bps-inter-region-cost=BGP_BPS_INTER_REGION_COST] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute networks create is used to create virtual networks. A network performs the same function that a router does in a home network: it describes the network range and gateway IP address, handles communication between instances, and serves as a gateway between instances and callers outside the network.
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME
Name of the network to create.
FLAGS
--bgp-routing-mode=MODE; default="regional"
The BGP routing mode for this network. If not specified, defaults to regional.

MODE must be one of:

global
Cloud Routers in this network advertise subnetworks from all regions to their BGP peers, and program instances in all regions with the router's best learned BGP routes.
regional
Cloud Routers in this network advertise subnetworks from their local region only to their BGP peers, and program instances in their local region only with the router's best learned BGP routes.
--description=DESCRIPTION
An optional, textual description for the network.
--[no-]enable-ula-internal-ipv6
Enable/disable ULA internal IPv6 on this network. Enabling this feature will assign a /48 from google defined ULA prefix fd20::/20.

Use --enable-ula-internal-ipv6 to enable and --no-enable-ula-internal-ipv6 to disable.

--internal-ipv6-range=INTERNAL_IPV6_RANGE
When enabling ULA internal IPv6, caller can optionally specify the /48 range they want from the google defined ULA prefix fd20::/20. ULA_IPV6_RANGE must be a valid /48 ULA IPv6 address and 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.
--mtu=MTU
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the size of the largest IP packet that can be transmitted on this network. Default value is 1460 bytes. The minimum value is 1300 bytes and the maximum value is 8896 bytes. The MTU advertised via DHCP to all instances attached to this network.
--network-firewall-policy-enforcement-order=NETWORK_FIREWALL_POLICY_ENFORCEMENT_ORDER
The Network Firewall Policy enforcement order of this network. If not specified, defaults to AFTER_CLASSIC_FIREWALL.

NETWORK_FIREWALL_POLICY_ENFORCEMENT_ORDER must be one of:

AFTER_CLASSIC_FIREWALL
Network Firewall Policy is enforced after classic firewall.
BEFORE_CLASSIC_FIREWALL
Network Firewall Policy is enforced before classic firewall.
--range=RANGE
Specifies the IPv4 address range of legacy mode networks. The range must be specified in CIDR format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

This flag only works if mode is legacy.

Using legacy networks is **DEPRECATED**, given that many newer Google Cloud Platform features are not supported on legacy networks. Please be advised that legacy networks may not be supported in the future.

--subnet-mode=MODE
The subnet mode of the network. If not specified, defaults to AUTO.

MODE must be one of:

auto
Subnets are created automatically. This is the recommended selection.
custom
Create subnets manually.
legacy
[Deprecated] Create an old style network that has a range and cannot have subnets. This is not recommended for new networks.
BGP Best Path Selection flags
--bgp-best-path-selection-mode=BGP_BEST_PATH_SELECTION_MODE
The BGP best selection algorithm to be employed. MODE can be LEGACY or STANDARD. BGP_BEST_PATH_SELECTION_MODE must be one of:
LEGACY
Dynamic routes are ranked based on MED BGP attribute. When global routing is enabled, MED of the routes received from other regions is original MED plus region-to-region cost.
STANDARD
Dynamic routes are ranked based on AS Path, Origin, Neighbor ASN and MED BGP attributes. When global routing is enabled, region-to-region cost is used as a tiebreaker. This mode offers customizations to fine-tune BGP best path routing with additional knobs like --bgp-bps-always-compare-med and --bgp-bps-inter-region-cost
--[no-]bgp-bps-always-compare-med
Enables/disables the comparison of MED across routes with different NeighborAsn. This value can only be set if the --bgp-best-path-selection-mode is STANDARD. Use --bgp-bps-always-compare-med to enable and --no-bgp-bps-always-compare-med to disable.
--bgp-bps-inter-region-cost=BGP_BPS_INTER_REGION_COST
Allows to define preferred approach for handling inter-region cost in the selection process. This value can only be set if the --bgp-best-path-selection-mode is STANDARD. BGP_BPS_INTER_REGION_COST must be one of:
ADD_COST_TO_MED
Adds inter-region cost to the MED before comparing MED value. When multiple routes have the same value after the Add-cost-to-med comparison, the route selection continues and prefers the route with lowest cost.
DEFAULT
MED is compared as originally received from peers. Cost is evaluated as a next step when MED is the same.
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.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
