Updating a subnet

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

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder through the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. View the description of the CLI command for updating subnet parameters:

   yc vpc subnet update --help
   

2. Get a list of all subnets in the default folder:

   yc vpc subnet list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
   |          ID          |         NAME          |         ...          |
   +----------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
   ...
   | e2l2prrbkbim******** |     test-subnet-1     |         ...          |
   ...
   +----------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
   

3. Select the ID or NAME of the subnet you need.

4. Change the subnet parameters, e.g.:

   yc vpc subnet update e2l2prrbkbim******** \
     --new-name test-subnet-renamed \
     --labels new_label=test_label
   

   Result:

   id: e2l2prrbkbim********
   folder_id: b1g6ci08ma55********
   created_at: "2018-10-24T13:54:10Z"
   name: test-subnet-renamed
   description: My test subnet
   labels:
     new_label: test_label
   network_id: enplom7a98s1********
   zone_id: ru-central1-a
   v4_cidr_blocks:
   - 192.168.0.0/24
   

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or mirror website.

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and edit the fragment with the subnet description:

   ...
   resource "yandex_vpc_subnet" "lab-subnet-a" {
     name           = "subnet-1"
     description    = "My first subnet"
     v4_cidr_blocks = ["10.2.0.0/16"]
     zone           = "ru-central1-a"
     network_id     = "${yandex_vpc_network.lab-net.id}"
   }
   ...
   

   For more information about the yandex_vpc_subnet resource parameters in Terraform, see the provider documentation.

2. Check the configuration using this command:

   terraform validate
   

   If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:

   Success! The configuration is valid.
   

3. Run this command:

   terraform plan
   

   The terminal will display a list of resources with their parameters. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will point them out.

4. Apply the configuration changes:

   terraform apply
   

5. Confirm the changes: type yes into the terminal and press Enter.

   You can check the subnet update using the management console or this CLI command:

   yc vpc subnet get <subnet_name>
   

To change the subnet, use the update REST API method for the Subnet resource or the SubnetService/Update gRPC API call, and provide the following in the request:

• ID of the subnet you want to update in the subnetId request 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.

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

• New subnet settings if needed:

  • Name in the name parameter.
  • Description in the description parameter.
  • Network labels in the labels parameter.
  • Route table ID in the routeTableId parameter.
  • DHCP settings in the dhcpOptions parameter.

• List of settings to update in the updateMask parameter.
