Overview

A logical subdivision of a VCN. Each subnet consists of a contiguous range of IP addresses that do not overlap with other subnets in the VCN. Example: 172.16.1.0/24. For more information, see Overview of the Networking Service and VCNs and Subnets.

To use any of the API operations, you must be authorized in an IAM policy. If you’re not authorized, talk to an administrator. If you’re an administrator who needs to write policies to give users access, see Getting Started with Policies.

Warning: Oracle recommends that you avoid using any confidential information when you supply string values using the API.

Here is an example on how to use this:

oci_core_subnet { 'tenant (root)/my_subnet':
  ensure             => 'present',
  cidr_block         => '10.0.0.0/24',
  dhcp_options       => 'my_compartment/my_dhcp_options',
  dns_label          => 'subnet',
  route_table        => 'my_compartment/my_route_table_',
  security_lists     => ['my_compartment/my_security_list_'],
  subnet_domain_name => 'subnet.vcn.oraclevcn.com',
  vcn                => 'my_compartment/my_vcn',
  virtual_router_ip  => '10.0.0.1',
  virtual_router_mac => '00:00:17:9B:B0:3F',
}

availability_domain

Controls whether the subnet is regional or specific to an availability domain. Oracle recommends creating regional subnets because they’re more flexible and make it easier to implement failover across availability domains. Originally, AD-specific subnets were the only kind available to use.

To create a regional subnet, omit this attribute. Then any resources later created in this subnet (such as a Compute instance) can be created in any availability domain in the region.

To instead create an AD-specific subnet, set this attribute to the availability domain you want this subnet to be in. Then any resources later created in this subnet can only be created in that availability domain.

disable_corrective_change

Disable the modification of a resource when Puppet decides it is a corrective change.

(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)

When using a Puppet Server, Puppet knows about adaptive and corrective changes. A corrective change is when Puppet notices that the resource has changed, but the catalog has not changed. This can occur for example, when a user, by accident or willingly, changed something on the system that Puppet is managing. The normal Puppet process then repairs this and puts the resource back in the state as defined in the catalog. This process is precisely what you want most of the time, but not always. This can sometimes also occur when a hardware or network error occurs. Then Puppet cannot correctly determine the current state of the system and thinks the resource is changed, while in fact, it is not. Letting Puppet recreate remove or change the resource in these cases, is NOT wat you want.

Using the disable_corrective_change parameter, you can disable corrective changes on the current resource.

Here is an example of this:

crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
  ...
  disable_corrective_change => true,
  ...
}

When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet will not modify the resource and signal an error:

    Error: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change
    Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/parameter: change from '10' to '20' failed: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change. (corrective)

(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)

When using a Puppet Server, Puppet knows about adaptive and corrective changes. A corrective change is when Puppet notices that the resource has changed, but the catalog has not changed.

Then Puppet cannot correctly determine the current state of the system and thinks the resource is changed, while in fact, it is not. Letting Puppet recreate remove or change the resource in these cases, is NOT wat you want.

Using the disable_corrective_ensure parameter, you can disable corrective ensure present or ensure absent actions on the current resource.

Here is an example of this:

crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
  ensure                    => 'present',
  ...
  disable_corrective_ensure => true,
  ...
}

When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet will not create or remove the resource and signal an error:

    Error: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure.
    Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/ensure: change from 'absent' to 'present' failed: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure. (corrective)

dns_label

A DNS label for the subnet, used in conjunction with the VNIC’s hostname and VCN’s DNS label to form a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for each VNIC within this subnet (for example, bminstance-1.subnet123.vcn1.oraclevcn.com). Must be an alphanumeric string that begins with a letter and is unique within the VCN. The value cannot be changed.

This value must be set if you want to use the Internet and VCN Resolver to resolve the hostnames of instances in the subnet. It can only be set if the VCN itself was created with a DNS label.

For more information, see DNS in Your Virtual Cloud Network.

ipv6_cidr_block

Use this to enable IPv6 addressing for this subnet. The VCN must be enabled for IPv6. You can’t change this subnet characteristic later. All subnets are /64 in size. The subnet portion of the IPv6 address is the fourth hextet from the left (1111 in the following example).

For important details about IPv6 addressing in a VCN, see IPv6 Addresses.

Example: 2001:0db8:0123:1111::/64

Back to overview of oci_core_subnet

ipv6_public_cidr_block

For an IPv6-enabled subnet, this is the IPv6 CIDR block for the subnet’s public IP address space. The subnet size is always /64. The left 48 bits are inherited from the ipv6PublicCidrBlock of the {Vcn}, and the remaining 16 bits are from the subnet’s ipv6CidrBlock.

ipv6_virtual_router_ip

prohibit_public_ip_on_vnic

Whether VNICs within this subnet can have public IP addresses. Defaults to false, which means VNICs created in this subnet will automatically be assigned public IP addresses unless specified otherwise during instance launch or VNIC creation (with the assignPublicIp flag in {CreateVnicDetails}). If prohibitPublicIpOnVnic is set to true, VNICs created in this subnet cannot have public IP addresses (that is, it’s a private subnet).

For IPv6, if prohibitPublicIpOnVnic is set to true, internet access is not allowed for any IPv6s assigned to VNICs in the subnet.

Example: true
