Create a SoftLayer virtual guest on a specific sub

问题:

Recently I noticed the SoftLayer UI has changed and part of that change was the ability to specify a subnet on a VLAN when ordering a virtual guest.

Has this support been implemented in the REST API json payload when specifying primaryNetworkComponent and primaryBackendNetworkComponent parameters to create a virtual guest?

回答1:

Yes, Currently It's possible to set the subnets, you should define "primarySubnet" inside of "networkVlan" property, here a Rest example:

Replace: $user, $apiKey and the values for: networkVlanId and primarySubnet >> id with your own information
