Options¶

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (boolean)

Checks 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 .

--prefix-list-name (string)

A name for the prefix list.

Constraints: Up to 255 characters in length. The name cannot start with com.amazonaws .

--entries (list)

One or more entries for the prefix list.

(structure)

An entry for a prefix list.

Cidr -> (string)

The CIDR block.

Description -> (string)

A description for the entry.

Constraints: Up to 255 characters in length.

Shorthand Syntax:

Cidr=string,Description=string ...

--tag-specifications (list)

(structure)

The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created. When you specify a tag, you must specify the resource type to tag, otherwise the request will fail.

Note
The Valid Values lists all the resource types that can be tagged. However, the action you're using might not support tagging all of these resource types. If you try to tag a resource type that is unsupported for the action you're using, you'll get an error.

Tags -> (list)

The tags to apply to the resource.

(structure)

Describes a tag.

--address-family (string)

The IP address type.

Valid Values: IPv4 | IPv6

--client-token (string)

Unique, case-sensitive identifier you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. For more information, see Ensuring idempotency .

Constraints: Up to 255 UTF-8 characters in length.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

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 prefix list

The following create-managed-prefix-list example creates an IPv4 prefix list with a maximum of 10 entries, and creates 2 entries in the prefix list.

aws ec2 create-managed-prefix-list \
    --address-family IPv4 \
    --max-entries 10 \
    --entries Cidr=10.0.0.0/16,Description=vpc-a Cidr=10.2.0.0/16,Description=vpc-b \
    --prefix-list-name vpc-cidrs

Output:

{
    "PrefixList": {
        "PrefixListId": "pl-0123456abcabcabc1",
        "AddressFamily": "IPv4",
        "State": "create-in-progress",
        "PrefixListArn": "arn:aws:ec2:us-west-2:123456789012:prefix-list/pl-0123456abcabcabc1",
        "PrefixListName": "vpc-cidrs",
        "MaxEntries": 10,
        "Version": 1,
        "Tags": [],
        "OwnerId": "123456789012"
    }
}
