Synopsis

Calls the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud CreateNetworkInterface API operation.

Syntax

New-EC2NetworkInterface
-SubnetId <String>
-Description <String>
-PrivateIpAddress <String>
-Group <String[]>
-InterfaceType <NetworkInterfaceCreationType>
-Ipv6AddressCount <Int32>
-Ipv6Address <InstanceIpv6Address[]>
-PrivateIpAddressSet <PrivateIpAddressSpecification[]>
-SecondaryPrivateIpAddressCount <Int32>
-Force <SwitchParameter>

Description

Creates a network interface in the specified subnet. For more information about network interfaces, see Elastic Network Interfaces in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

Parameters

-Description <String>
A description for the network interface.
Required?False
Position?2
Accept pipeline input?False
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?False
-Group <String[]>
The IDs of one or more security groups.
Required?False
Position?4
Accept pipeline input?False
AliasesGroupId, Groups
-InterfaceType <NetworkInterfaceCreationType>
Indicates the type of network interface. To create an Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA), specify efa. For more information, see Elastic Fabric Adapter in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?False
-Ipv6Address <InstanceIpv6Address[]>
One or more specific IPv6 addresses from the IPv6 CIDR block range of your subnet. You can't use this option if you're specifying a number of IPv6 addresses.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?False
AliasesIpv6Addresses
-Ipv6AddressCount <Int32>
The number of IPv6 addresses to assign to a network interface. Amazon EC2 automatically selects the IPv6 addresses from the subnet range. You can't use this option if specifying specific IPv6 addresses. If your subnet has the AssignIpv6AddressOnCreation attribute set to true, you can specify 0 to override this setting.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?False
-PrivateIpAddress <String>
The primary private IPv4 address of the network interface. If you don't specify an IPv4 address, Amazon EC2 selects one for you from the subnet's IPv4 CIDR range. If you specify an IP address, you cannot indicate any IP addresses specified in privateIpAddresses as primary (only one IP address can be designated as primary).
Required?False
Position?3
Accept pipeline input?False
-PrivateIpAddressSet <PrivateIpAddressSpecification[]>
One or more private IPv4 addresses.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?False
AliasesPrivateIpAddresses
-SecondaryPrivateIpAddressCount <Int32>
The number of secondary private IPv4 addresses to assign to a network interface. When you specify a number of secondary IPv4 addresses, Amazon EC2 selects these IP addresses within the subnet's IPv4 CIDR range. You can't specify this option and specify more than one private IP address using privateIpAddresses.The number of IP addresses you can assign to a network interface varies by instance type. For more information, see IP Addresses Per ENI Per Instance Type in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?False
-SubnetId <String>
The ID of the subnet to associate with the network interface.
Required?False
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? False
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? False
-ProfileLocation <String>

Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)

If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials. Note that the encrypted credential file is not supported on all platforms. It will be skipped when searching for profiles on Windows Nano Server, Mac, and Linux platforms.

If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.

As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.

Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? False
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? False
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? False
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? False
-SessionToken <String>
The session token if the access and secret keys are temporary session-based credentials.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? False
-Region <String>
The system name of the AWS region in which the operation should be invoked. For example, us-east-1, eu-west-1 etc.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? False
-EndpointUrl <String>

The endpoint to make the call against.

Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.

Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? False

Inputs

System.String
You can pipe a String object to this cmdlet for the SubnetId parameter.

Outputs

Amazon.EC2.Model.NetworkInterface
This cmdlet returns a Amazon.EC2.Model.NetworkInterface object. The service call response (type Amazon.EC2.Model.CreateNetworkInterfaceResponse) can also be referenced from properties attached to the cmdlet entry in the $AWSHistory stack.
