AmazonEC2Client.CreateSubnet Method (CreateSubnetRequest)

Creates a subnet in the specified VPC. For an IPv4 only subnet, specify an IPv4 CIDR block. If the VPC has an IPv6 CIDR block, you can create an IPv6 only subnet or a dual stack subnet instead. For an IPv6 only subnet, specify an IPv6 CIDR block. For a dual stack subnet, specify both an IPv4 CIDR block and an IPv6 CIDR block.

A subnet CIDR block must not overlap the CIDR block of an existing subnet in the VPC. After you create a subnet, you can't change its CIDR block.

The allowed size for an IPv4 subnet is between a /28 netmask (16 IP addresses) and a /16 netmask (65,536 IP addresses). Amazon Web Services reserves both the first four and the last IPv4 address in each subnet's CIDR block. They're not available for your use.

If you've associated an IPv6 CIDR block with your VPC, you can associate an IPv6 CIDR block with a subnet when you create it.

If you add more than one subnet to a VPC, they're set up in a star topology with a logical router in the middle.

When you stop an instance in a subnet, it retains its private IPv4 address. It's therefore possible to have a subnet with no running instances (they're all stopped), but no remaining IP addresses available.

For more information, see Subnets in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

Note:

For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to CreateSubnetAsync.

Examples

This example creates a subnet in the specified VPC with the specified CIDR block. We recommend that you let us select an Availability Zone for you.

To create a subnet


var client = new AmazonEC2Client();
var response = client.CreateSubnet(new CreateSubnetRequest 
{
    CidrBlock = "10.0.1.0/24",
    VpcId = "vpc-a01106c2"
});

Subnet subnet = response.Subnet;
