How to create a classic VNet using Azure CLI

You can use the Azure CLI to manage your Azure resources from the command prompt from any computer running Windows, Linux, or OSX. To create a VNet by using the Azure CLI, follow the steps below.

  1. If you have never used Azure CLI, see Install and Configure the Azure CLI and follow the instructions up to the point where you select your Azure account and subscription.

  2. Run the azure network vnet create command to create a VNet and a subnet, as shown below. The list shown after the output explains the parameters used.

         azure network vnet create --vnet TestVNet -e 192.168.0.0 -i 16 -n FrontEnd -p 192.168.1.0 -r 24 -l "Central US"

    Expected output:

         info:    Executing command network vnet create
     + Looking up network configuration
     + Looking up locations
     + Setting network configuration
     info:    network vnet create command OK
    • --vnet. Name of the VNet to be created. For our scenario, TestVNet
    • -e (or --address-space). VNet address space. For our scenario, 192.168.0.0
    • -i (or -cidr). Network mask in CIDR format. For our scenario, 16.
    • -n (or --subnet-name). Name of the first subnet. For our scenario, FrontEnd.
    • -p (or --subnet-start-ip). Starting IP address for subnet, or subnet address space. For our scenario, 192.168.1.0.
    • -r (or --subnet-cidr). Network mask in CIDR format for subnet. For our scenario, 24.
    • -l (or --location). Azure region where the VNet will be created. For our scenario, Central US.

  3. Run the azure network vnet subnet create command to create a subnet as shown below. The list shown after the output explains the parameters used.

         azure network vnet subnet create -t TestVNet -n BackEnd -a 192.168.2.0/24

    Here is the expected output for the command above:

         info:    Executing command network vnet subnet create
     + Looking up network configuration
     + Creating subnet "BackEnd"
     + Setting network configuration
     + Looking up the subnet "BackEnd"
     + Looking up network configuration
     data:    Name                            : BackEnd
     data:    Address prefix                  : 192.168.2.0/24
     info:    network vnet subnet create command OK
    • -t (or --vnet-name. Name of the VNet where the subnet will be created. For our scenario, TestVNet.
    • -n (or --name). Name of the new subnet. For our scenario, BackEnd.
    • -a (or --address-prefix). Subnet CIDR block. Four our scenario, 192.168.2.0/24.

  4. Run the azure network vnet show command to view the properties of the new vnet, as shown below.

         azure network vnet show

    Here is the expected output for the command above:

         info:    Executing command network vnet show
     Virtual network name: TestVNet
     + Looking up the virtual network sites
     data:    Name                            : TestVNet
     data:    Location                        : Central US
     data:    State                           : Created
     data:    Address space                   : 192.168.0.0/16
     data:    Subnets:
     data:      Name                          : FrontEnd
     data:      Address prefix                : 192.168.1.0/24
     data:
     data:      Name                          : BackEnd
     data:      Address prefix                : 192.168.2.0/24
     data:
     info:    network vnet show command OK
