Next free CIDR block(s) inside a supernet (IPAM planner).

GET
/v1/admin/network/address-map/next-cidr
Code sample: Shell / cURL
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://stratum.example.com/v1/admin/network/address-map/next-cidr?supernet=example&size=1' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Given a supernet you want to carve VPCs from and a target block size (prefix length), returns the first count blocks of that size that overlap nothing in the live address map (reserved infra, transit, VPC primary/secondary, subnets, floating-IP pools/IPs). A planning aid: it reserves nothing, so the VPC-create call remains the point of record and re-validates overlap. IPv4 supernets only. Install-scope; gates on network:GetAddressMap.

supernet
required
string

The IPv4 supernet to carve from, e.g. 10.0.0.0/8.

size
required
integer

Target block prefix length (e.g. 24 or /24); must fit inside the supernet.

count
integer

How many free blocks to return (default 1, capped at 256).

region
string

Narrow the claimed set to one region.

The next free block(s).

Media typeapplication/json

IPAM planner result — free block(s) inside a supernet.

object
supernet
required

The canonicalized supernet the blocks were carved from.

string
prefixLen
required

The requested block prefix length.

integer
candidates
required

Up to count free CIDR blocks, in ascending address order.

Array<string>
exhausted
required

True when the supernet’s end (or the internal scan cap) was reached before count free blocks were found — the answer may be incomplete or the supernet may simply be full.

boolean

issues

The findings of a rejected IAM policy document (custom and resource policies).

Array<object>

One finding of a rejected IAM policy document. A rejection lists every finding, so the author fixes the document in one round trip.

object
code
required

The finding, e.g. INVALID_DOCUMENT, UNKNOWN_ACTION, ACTION_NOT_APPLICABLE.

string
statement
required

Index of the statement at fault; -1 for the document as a whole.

integer
>= -1
detail
required
string
action

The offending action, where one is at fault (ACTION_NOT_APPLICABLE).

string
errors

Field errors, for codes that carry them: each problem at its field (see FieldError). Documented on the responses that set it, e.g. approveNodeJoin’s INVALID_INPUT and JOIN_APPROVAL_REFUSED. Absent otherwise.

Array<object>

One field’s problem, the stage-2 installer API’s shape. field is the field’s path, message what is wrong with it.

object
field
required

The field’s path, e.g. links[0].interface, disks[1].confirm, mgmt.address or role; empty for the whole request.

string
message
required
string
details

Structured facts about the refusal, for codes that carry them. The shape is fixed per code and documented on the response that answers it, e.g. IMAGE_POOL_MISMATCH (see ImagePoolMismatchDetails) and IMAGE_IN_USE. Absent for codes that carry none.
