Fields

The following fields are returned by SELECT queries:

get

Successful response

Name	Datatype	Description
id	string (uint64)	[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
name	string	Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash. (pattern: a-z?)
bgp	object	BGP information specific to this router. (id: RouterBgp)
bgpPeers	array	BGP information that must be configured into the routing stack to establish BGP peering. This information must specify the peer ASN and either the interface name, IP address, or peer IP address. Please refer to RFC4273.
creationTimestamp	string	[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
description	string	An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
encryptedInterconnectRouter	boolean	Indicates if a router is dedicated for use with encrypted VLAN attachments (interconnectAttachments).
interfaces	array	Router interfaces. To create a BGP peer that uses a router interface, the interface must have one of the following fields specified: - linkedVpnTunnel - linkedInterconnectAttachment - subnetwork You can create a router interface without any of these fields specified. However, you cannot create a BGP peer that uses that interface.
kind	string	[Output Only] Type of resource. Always compute#router for routers. (default: compute#router)
md5AuthenticationKeys	array	Keys used for MD5 authentication.
nats	array	A list of NAT services created in this router.
network	string	URI of the network to which this router belongs.
region	string	[Output Only] URI of the region where the router resides. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.
selfLink	string	[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.

list

Successful response

Name	Datatype	Description
id	string	[Output Only] Unique identifier for the resource; defined by the server.
items	array	A list of Router resources.
kind	string	[Output Only] Type of resource. Always compute#router for routers. (default: compute#routerList)
nextPageToken	string	[Output Only] This token allows you to get the next page of results for list requests. If the number of results is larger than maxResults, use the nextPageToken as a value for the query parameter pageToken in the next list request. Subsequent list requests will have their own nextPageToken to continue paging through the results.
selfLink	string	[Output Only] Server-defined URL for this resource.
warning	object	[Output Only] Informational warning message.

Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

Name	Accessible by	Required Params	Optional Params	Description
get	select	project, region, router		Returns the specified Router resource.
list	select	project, region	filter, maxResults, orderBy, pageToken, returnPartialSuccess	Retrieves a list of Router resources available to the specified project.
aggregated_list	select	project	filter, includeAllScopes, maxResults, orderBy, pageToken, returnPartialSuccess, serviceProjectNumber	Retrieves an aggregated list of routers. To prevent failure, Google recommends that you set the returnPartialSuccess parameter to true.
insert	insert	project, region	requestId	Creates a Router resource in the specified project and region using the data included in the request.
patch	update	project, region, router	requestId	Patches the specified Router resource with the data included in the request. This method supports PATCH semantics and uses JSON merge patch format and processing rules.
patch_route_policy	update	project, region, router	requestId	Patches Route Policy
update	replace	project, region, router	requestId	Updates the specified Router resource with the data included in the request. This method conforms to PUT semantics, which requests that the state of the target resource be created or replaced with the state defined by the representation enclosed in the request message payload.
delete	delete	project, region, router	requestId	Deletes the specified Router resource.
preview	exec	project, region, router		Preview fields auto-generated during router create and update operations. Calling this method does NOT create or update the router.
