Adding a Secondary CIDR Block to a VPC¶

Function¶

The IPv4 CIDR block you specify when you create a VPC is the primary one. The primary CIDR block cannot be changed after the VPC is created. If IP addresses in the primary CIDR block are insufficient, you can call this API to add a secondary CIDR block to a VPC.

URI¶

PUT /v3/{project_id}/vpc/vpcs/{vpc_id}/add-extend-cidr

**Table 1** Path Parameters¶
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Definition: ID of the project that a VPC belongs to. Range: None
