Working with Subnets

A collection of CLI Examples on how to interact with Subnets.

Read up on the Golang Example Framework for information on how to setup the CLI Framework to get this code to run easily.

Canceling a Subnet

This script makes a paginated API call to SoftLayer_Billing_Item::cancelItem().

/*
Cancel a Subnet. Cancel network subnet using its billing Item.

Getting subnets of a VLAN

This script makes a paginated API call to SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::getSubnets().

/*
Retrieve the subnets for a VLAN

Retrieve all the subnets for a determinate VLAN associated with a SoftLayer customer account
We do this with a call to the getSubnets() method in the SoftLayer_Network_Vlan API service.
