Request URI

HTTP Version

POST

https://{server}:{auth-port}/subscription-id/services/systemcenter/vmm/NATConnections

HTTP/1.1

For more information about the common request headers used by this operation, see Common HTTP request information.

This operation does not use any non-standard request headers.

The request body should contain a single (depending on the request headers) XML or JSON encoded NATConnection [SPFSDK][VMMREF] entity that you want to create. Here is the request body of a single entity.


{
   "odata.type":"VMM.NATConnection",
   "Description":null,
   "ID":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
   "MaximumBandwidthInboundKbps":null,
   "MaximumBandwidthOutboundKbps":null,
   "Name":"Basic NAT Connection",
   "StampId":"56ebc6dc-f63c-46e2-8438-2967e0ad83bc",
   "Status":null,
   "VMNetworkGatewayId":"6c5af99d-140b-4a6b-9329-059ef118bbbb"
}

This operation does not return any non-standard OData response codes. If successful, it will return code 201 Created.

This operation does not use any non-standard response headers.

For more information about the common response headers used by this operation, see Common HTTP response information.

The response body will contain a single (depending on the request headers) XML or JSON encoded NATConnection [SPFSDK][VMMREF] entity as it exists on the server.

This example demonstrates how to create a new NAT connection on an existing VM network gateway.

For more information about how to get started with using the code examples provided in this programming guide, see Program in Visual Studio with the Windows Azure Pack IaaS Resource Provider [SPFSDK].

Guid stampId = new Guid("56ebc6dc-f63c-46e2-8438-2967e0ad83bc");
Guid gatewayId = new Guid("6c5af99d-140b-4a6b-9329-059ef118bbbb");

var natConnection = new SpfVMM.NATConnection();
natConnection.StampId = stampId;
natConnection.VMNetworkGatewayId = gatewayId;
natConnection.Name = "Basic NAT Connection";

// Gateway must support metering for these two properties to be set.
//natConnection.MaximumBandwidthInboundKbps = 30000.0m;
//natConnection.MaximumBandwidthOutboundKbps = 10000.0m;

vmmService.AddToNATConnections(natConnection);
vmmService.SaveChanges();
