IP Interface → Create
AI-generatedSummary
Create a new IP interface (LIF) in a NetApp ONTAP cluster by specifying parameters such as interface name, SVM, IP address, netmask, home node and port, and additional optional network settings.
Inputs
- clusterHost (required) — The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP cluster management LIF
- clusterPort — HTTPS port for the ONTAP REST API, default 443
- ipInterfaceName (required) — The name of the IP interface to create
- ipInterfaceSvm (required) — The SVM (Storage Virtual Machine) to which the IP interface belongs, specified by name
- ipAddress (required) — The IP address assigned to the interface
- netmask (required) — Netmask in CIDR notation (e.g., 24 for /24)
- homeNode (required) — The home node where the interface is located, specified by name
- homePort (required) — The home port name for the interface (e.g., e0a, a0a)
- ipInterfaceCreateOptions — Optional additional parameters including service policy, IPspace, auto revert, failover policy, DNS zone, and dynamic DNS enabling
- options — Optional parameters such as fields to include in the response
Output shape
a single record representing the created IP interface or job status
If the creation initiates an asynchronous job, the operation will poll until completion and return the final job information along with the response. If there is no async job, it returns the immediate response from the ONTAP API.
Examples
Example 1: Create an IP interface with required fields
Specify cluster host and port, interface name, SVM name, IP address, netmask, home node and port.
Example 2: Create an IP interface with additional options
Include optional fields such as service policy, IPspace name, auto revert flag, failover policy, DNS zone, and dynamic DNS enabled status.
