Notes

The previous plug-in versions up to 10.2.0 are compatible with the older API response and are available to download for six months. However, we recommend that you upgrade the plug-in to version 11.0.0 to use the most recent VPN gateway connection capabilities. We also suggest that you update the scripts according to the new API response.

Breaking Changes

• The vpn-gateway-connection-local-cidr-add, vpn-gateway-connection-local-cidr-delete, vpn-gateway-connection-peer-cidr-add, and vpn-gateway-connection-peer-cidr-delete commands now support CIDR (PREFIX_ADDRESS/PREFIX_LENGTH) as a single argument. This means that using PREFIX_ADDRESS and PREFIX_LENGTH as separate arguments is now deprecated. The depricated arguments are removed within 6 months or in a major release.

  • On or before 10.2.0 plugin version. ibmcloud is vpn-gateway-connection-local-cidr-add 0726-59be5c84-1dc2-4191-b591-d506514563bf 0726-0d642e87-b868-4a22-83f4-a35a19390b5c 1.168.0.0 22
  • On or after 11.0.0 plugin version. ibmcloud is vpn-gateway-connection-local-cidr-add 0726-59be5c84-1dc2-4191-b591-d506514563bf 0726-0d642e87-b868-4a22-83f4-a35a19390b5c 1.168.0.0/22

• Significant changes in the JSON output of several commands were made. Specifically, the ike-connections, ipsec-connections, vpn-gateway-connections, vpn-gateway-connection, vpn-gateway-connection-create, and vpn-gateway-connection-update commands now use a new property called peer instead of the previous peer_address. The peer property has two subproperties: address and fqdn, and it's crucial to check the peer.type property in the response to know which subproperty to use. If the type is address, then the response has peer.address. Conversely, if the type is fqdn, then the response has peer.fqdn.

Breaking Change Notes

• In the past, when a Virtual Server Instance (VSI) was provisioned without explicitly mentioning the --primary-network-interface (legacy interface), a primary_network_interface was created and the same details were available in the response. However, with the 10.0.0 and later releases, when a virtual server instance is provisioned without explicitly mentioning --primary-network-interface, a primary_network_attachment is created, along with a Virtual Network Interface (VNI) resource.
• To support compatibility with an eariler version, users need to explicitly define --primary-network-interface to create a legacy network interface. It is recommended to use primary_network_attachment over the legacy primary_network_interface.
