Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitAuthorization
Adds an ExpressRoute circuit authorization.
Syntax
Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitAuthorization
-Name <String>
-ExpressRouteCircuit <PSExpressRouteCircuit>
[-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitAuthorization cmdlet adds an authorization to an ExpressRoute circuit. ExpressRoute circuits connect your on-premises network to the Microsoft cloud by using a connectivity provider instead of the public Internet. The owner of an ExpressRoute circuit can create as many as 10 authorizations for each circuit; these authorizations generate an authorization key that can be used by a virtual network owner to connect his or her network to the circuit (one authorization per virtual network). Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitAuthorization adds a new authorization to a circuit and, at the same time, generates the corresponding authorization key. These keys can be viewed at any time by running the Get-AzExpressRouteCircuitAuthorization cmdlet and, as needed, can then be copied and forwarded to the appropriate network owner. Note that, after running Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitAuthorization, you must call the Set-AzExpressRouteCircuit cmdlet to activate the key. If you do not call Set-AzExpressRouteCircuit the authorization will be added to the circuit but will not be enabled for use.
Examples
Example 1: Add an authorization to the specified ExpressRoute circuit
$Circuit = Get-AzExpressRouteCircuit -Name "ContosoCircuit" -ResourceGroupName "ContosoResourceGroup"
Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitAuthorization -Name "ContosoCircuitAuthorization" -ExpressRouteCircuit $Circuit
Set-AzExpressRouteCircuit -ExpressRouteCircuit $Circuit
The commands in this example add a new authorization to an existing ExpressRoute circuit. The first command uses Get-AzExpressRouteCircuit to create an object reference to a circuit named ContosoCircuit. That object reference is stored in a variable named $Circuit. In the second command, the Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitAuthorization cmdlet is used to add a new authorization (ContosoCircuitAuthorization) to the ExpressRoute circuit. This command adds the authorization but does not activate that authorization. Activating an authorization requires the Set-AzExpressRouteCircuit shown in the final command in the example.
