Operation

create_route_server async

create_route_server(input: CreateRouteServerInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> CreateRouteServerOutput

Creates a new route server to manage dynamic routing in a VPC.

Amazon VPC Route Server simplifies routing for traffic between workloads that are deployed within a VPC and its internet gateways. With this feature, VPC Route Server dynamically updates VPC and internet gateway route tables with your preferred IPv4 or IPv6 routes to achieve routing fault tolerance for those workloads. This enables you to automatically reroute traffic within a VPC, which increases the manageability of VPC routing and interoperability with third-party workloads.

Route server supports the follow route table types:

  • VPC route tables not associated with subnets

  • Subnet route tables

  • Internet gateway route tables

Route server does not support route tables associated with virtual private gateways. To propagate routes into a transit gateway route table, use Transit Gateway Connect.

For more information see Dynamic routing in your VPC with VPC Route Server in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input CreateRouteServerInput

An instance of CreateRouteServerInput.

required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

None

Returns:

Type Description
CreateRouteServerOutput

An instance of CreateRouteServerOutput.

Input

CreateRouteServerInput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for CreateRouteServerInput structure.

Attributes

amazon_side_asn class-attribute instance-attribute
amazon_side_asn: int | None = ...

The private Autonomous System Number (ASN) for the Amazon side of the BGP session. Valid values are from 1 to 4294967295. We recommend using a private ASN in the 64512--65534 (16-bit ASN) or 4200000000--4294967294 (32-bit ASN) range.

client_token class-attribute instance-attribute
client_token: str | None = ...

Unique, case-sensitive identifier to ensure idempotency of the request.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

dry_run class-attribute instance-attribute
dry_run: bool | None = ...

A check for whether you have the required permissions for the action without actually making the request and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

persist_routes class-attribute instance-attribute
persist_routes: str | None = ...

Indicates whether routes should be persisted after all BGP sessions are terminated.

persist_routes_duration class-attribute instance-attribute
persist_routes_duration: int | None = ...

The number of minutes a route server will wait after BGP is re-established to unpersist the routes in the FIB and RIB. Value must be in the range of 1-5. Required if PersistRoutes is enabled.

If you set the duration to 1 minute, then when your network appliance re-establishes BGP with route server, it has 1 minute to relearn it's adjacent network and advertise those routes to route server before route server resumes normal functionality. In most cases, 1 minute is probably sufficient. If, however, you have concerns that your BGP network may not be capable of fully re-establishing and re-learning everything in 1 minute, you can increase the duration up to 5 minutes.

sns_notifications_enabled class-attribute instance-attribute
sns_notifications_enabled: bool | None = ...

Indicates whether SNS notifications should be enabled for route server events. Enabling SNS notifications persists BGP status changes to an SNS topic provisioned by Amazon Web Services.

tag_specifications class-attribute instance-attribute
tag_specifications: list[TagSpecification] | None = ...

The tags to apply to the route server during creation.

Output

CreateRouteServerOutput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for CreateRouteServerOutput structure.

Attributes

response_metadata class-attribute instance-attribute
response_metadata: ResponseMetadata = ...

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.

route_server class-attribute instance-attribute
route_server: RouteServer | None = ...

Information about the created route server.
