- DESCRIPTION
- Create a new connectivity test with the given name.
- EXAMPLES
-
The following command creates a connectivity test with the name my-test, and the
test between a source VM and a destination IP address in a peering network.
gcloud network-management connectivity-tests create my-test --source-instance=projects/my-project/zones/us-west-1/instances/my-instance --destination-ip-address=10.142.0.2 --destination-network=projects/my-project/global/networks/peering-network - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
-
Connectivity test resource - Name of the connectivity test you want to create.
This represents a Cloud resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments
in this group but can be set in other ways.
To set the
projectattribute:-
provide the argument
connectivity_teston the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--projecton the command line; -
set the property
core/project.
This must be specified.
CONNECTIVITY_TEST-
ID of the connectivity test or fully qualified identifier for the connectivity
test.
To set the
connectivity_testattribute:-
provide the argument
connectivity_teston the command line.
-
provide the argument
-
provide the argument
-
Connectivity test resource - Name of the connectivity test you want to create.
This represents a Cloud resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments
in this group but can be set in other ways.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
-
-
At least one of these must be specified:
--destination-cloud-sql-instance=DESTINATION_CLOUD_SQL_INSTANCE- A Cloud SQL instance URI as the destination endpoint.
--destination-forwarding-rule=DESTINATION_FORWARDING_RULE- A forwarding rule URI as the destination endpoint.
--destination-gke-master-cluster=DESTINATION_GKE_MASTER_CLUSTER- A cluster URI for Google Kubernetes Engine master as the destination endpoint.
--destination-gke-pod=DESTINATION_GKE_POD- A GKE Pod URI as the destination endpoint.
--destination-instance=DESTINATION_INSTANCE- A Compute Engine instance URI as the destination endpoint.
--destination-ip-address=DESTINATION_IP_ADDRESS- The IP address of the destination which can be an external or internal IP.
--destination-redis-cluster=DESTINATION_REDIS_CLUSTER- A Redis cluster URI as the destination endpoint.
--destination-redis-instance=DESTINATION_REDIS_INSTANCE- A Redis instance URI as the destination endpoint.
-
At least one of these must be specified:
--source-app-engine-version=SOURCE_APP_ENGINE_VERSION- App Engine version URI as the source endpoint.
--source-cloud-function=SOURCE_CLOUD_FUNCTION- A Cloud function URI as the source endpoint.
--source-cloud-run-revision=SOURCE_CLOUD_RUN_REVISION- Cloud Run revision URI as the source endpoint.
--source-cloud-sql-instance=SOURCE_CLOUD_SQL_INSTANCE- A Cloud SQL instance URI as the source endpoint.
--source-gke-master-cluster=SOURCE_GKE_MASTER_CLUSTER- A cluster URI for Google Kubernetes Engine master as the source endpoint.
--source-gke-pod=SOURCE_GKE_POD- A GKE Pod URI as the source endpoint.
--source-instance=SOURCE_INSTANCE- A Compute Engine instance URI as the source endpoint.
--source-ip-address=SOURCE_IP_ADDRESS- The IP address of the source which can be an external or internal IP.
-
At least one of these must be specified:
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
--async- Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--bypass-firewall-checks- This boolean controls whether to skip firewall checking.
--description=DESCRIPTION- The description of the connectivity test.
--destination-fqdn=DESTINATION_FQDN- A hostname as the destination endpoint. Only applicable for Google Kubernetes Engine.
--destination-network=DESTINATION_NETWORK- A VPC network URI for the destination endpoint. Used only when the source is an external IP address endpoint, and the destination is an internal IP address endpoint.
--destination-port=DESTINATION_PORT- The IP protocol port of the destination. Only applicable when protocol is TCP or UDP.
--destination-project=DESTINATION_PROJECT- Project ID of the destination endpoint.
--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]- List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.
--other-projects=[OTHER_PROJECTS,…]- IDs of other projects involved in the connectivity test, besides the source and destination project.
--protocol=PROTOCOL- Type of protocol for the test. When not provided, "TCP" is assumed.
--round-trip- This boolean controls whether return traces (from the destination to the source) will be additionally calculated if packet successfully reaches the destination from the source.
--source-network=SOURCE_NETWORK-
A VPC network URI for the source endpoint. Used according to the
source-network-typeflag. --source-network-type=SOURCE_NETWORK_TYPE; default="unspecified"-
Type of the network where the source is located.
SOURCE_NETWORK_TYPEmust be one of:gcp-network-
A VPC network. Should be used for internal IP addresses in VPC networks. The
source-networkfield should be set to the URI of this network. Only endpoints within this network will be considered. internet- Internet. Should be used for internet-routable external IP addresses or IP addresses for global Google APIs and services.
non-gcp-network-
A network outside of Google Cloud (for example, an on-premises network or
another cloud provider network). Should be used for internal IP addresses
outside of Google Cloud. The
source-networkfield should be set to the URI of the VPC network containing a corresponding Cloud VPN tunnel, Cloud Interconnect VLAN attachment, or a router appliance instance. Only endpoints reachable from the provided VPC network via the routes to networks outside of Google Cloud will be considered. unspecified-
Unspecified. The test will analyze all possible IP address locations. This might
take longer and produce inaccurate or ambiguous results, so prefer specifying an
explicit network type. The
source-projectfield should be set to the project where the Google Cloud endpoint is located, or where the endpoint outside of Google Cloud should be reachable from (via routes to networks outside of Google Cloud). The project might also be inferred from the Connectivity Test project or other projects referenced in the request.
--source-project=SOURCE_PROJECT- Project ID of the source endpoint.
