Create Router

Normal Response Code: 201

Error Response Codes: Unauthorized (401), Bad Request (400)

This operation creates a new logical router. When it is created, a logical router does not have any internal interface. In other words, it is not associated to any subnet. The user can optionally specify an external gateway for a router at create time; a router's external gateway must be plugged into an external network, that is to say a network for which the extended field router:external is set to true.

In order to specify an external gateway, the identifier of the external network must be passed in the request body's external_gateway_info attribute. This can be achieved as shown in the following snippet:

"external_gateway_info" :
{
    "network_id": <external_network_uuid>
}

This operation requires a request body.

This operation returns a response body.
