Moving a subnet to a different folder

Written by

Updated at May 5, 2025
  • Examples
    • Subnet in the current folder
    • Subnet in a different folder

You can move subnets between folders within a single cloud.

Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, go to the folder with the subnet.
  2. In the list of services, select Virtual Private Cloud.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Subnets.
  4. Click in the row of the subnet you need and select Move.
  5. In the window that opens, select the destination folder.
  6. Click Move.

Note

You can also move subnets as part of a cloud network.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To move a subnet to another folder:

  1. View the description of the CLI command to move subnets:

    yc vpc subnet move --help
    
  2. Get the name or ID of the subnet to move:

    yc vpc subnet list
    

    Result:

    +----------------------+----------+----------------------+----------------+---------------+------------------+
    |          ID          |   NAME   |      NETWORK ID      | ROUTE TABLE ID |     ZONE      |      RANGE       |
    +----------------------+----------+----------------------+----------------+---------------+------------------+
    | e9bcd5mq43cn******** | subnet-a | encb4ubvmief******** |                | ru-central1-a | [10.1.0.0/16]    |
    +----------------------+----------+----------------------+----------------+---------------+------------------+
    
  3. Get a list of available folders:

    yc resource-manager folder list
    

    Result:

    +----------------------+------------------------+--------+--------+
    |          ID          |          NAME          | LABELS | STATUS |
    +----------------------+------------------------+--------+--------+
    | b1cs8ie21pk1******** | default                |        | ACTIVE |
    | b1chgf288nvg******** | my-folder-1            |        | ACTIVE |
    | b1cu6g9ielh6******** | my-folder-2            |        | ACTIVE |
    +----------------------+------------------------+--------+--------+
    
  4. Move the subnet by specifying the name or ID of the subnet and destination folder:

    yc vpc subnet move <subnet_name_or_ID> \
      --destination-folder-name <destination_folder_name> \
      --destination-folder-id <destination_folder_ID>
    

    Use either --destination-folder-name or --destination-folder-id.

    If the subnet is not in the current folder (default folder), specify the source folder using --folder-name or --folder-id.

    Result:

     id: e9bcd5mq43cn********
     folder_id: b1chgf288nvg********
     created_at: "2022-10-08T15:03:39Z"
     name: subnet-a
     network_id: encb4ubvmief********
     zone_id: ru-central1-a
     v4_cidr_blocks:
       - 10.1.0.0/16
     dhcp_options: {}
    

    For more information about the yc vpc subnet move command, see the CLI reference.

To move a subnet to a different folder, use the move REST API method for the Subnet resource or the SubnetService/Move gRPC API call, and provide the following in the request:

  • ID of the subnet you need to move in the subnetId parameter.

    To get the subnet ID, use the list REST API method for the Subnet resource or the SubnetService/List gRPC API call and provide the folder ID in the folderId request parameter.

  • ID of the folder you want to move the subnet to in the destinationFolderId parameter.

    To learn how to find out the folder ID, see Getting the folder ID.

ExamplesExamples

Subnet in the current folderSubnet in the current folder

Move a subnet from the current folder by specifying the subnet name and destination folder name:

CLI
yc vpc subnet move subnet-a \
  --destination-folder-name my-folder-1

Subnet in a different folderSubnet in a different folder

Move a subnet from a different folder. Specify the subnet ID and the source and destination folder IDs:

CLI
yc vpc subnet move enc39op1vq9m******** \
  --folder-id b1chgf288nvg******** \
  --destination-folder-id b1cs8ie21pk1********
