# Ports

## Create a port

This operation takes one parameter, an associative array, with the following keys:

Name | Description | Data type | Required? | Default value | Example value
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---

`networkId`

Network this port is associated with

String

Yes

`eb60583c-57ea-41b9-8d5c-8fab2d22224c`

`name` | A human-readable name for the port. This name might not be unique. | String | No | `null` | `My port`
`adminStateUp` | The administrative state of port. If `false` (down), the port does not forward packets. | Boolean | No | `true` | `true`
`macAddress` | MAC address to use on this port | String (MAC address in 6-octet form separated by colons) | No | Generated | `0F:5A:6F:70:E9:5C`
`fixedIps` | IP addresses for this port | Indexed array of associative arrays | No | Automatically allocated from the pool | `array(array('subnetId' => '75906d20-6625-11e4-9803-0800200c9a66', 'ipAddress' => '192.168.199.17'))`
`deviceId` | Identifies the device (for example, virtual server) using this port | String | No | `null` | `5e3898d7-11be-483e-9732-b2f5eccd2b2e`
`deviceOwner` | Identifies the entity (for example, DHCP agent) using this port | String | No | `null` | `network:router_interface`
`securityGroups` | Specifies the IDs of any security groups associated with this port | Indexed array of strings | No | Empty array | `array('f0ac4394-7e4a-4409-9701-ba8be283dbc3')`
`tenantId` | Owner of the port. Only admin users can specify a tenant ID other than their own. | String | No | Same as the tenant creating the port | `123456`

You can create a port as shown in the following example:

    /** @var $port OpenCloud\Networking\Resource\Port **/
    $port = $networkingService->createPort(array(
        'name' => 'My port',
        'networkId' => 'eb60583c-57ea-41b9-8d5c-8fab2d22224c'
    ));

## Create multiple ports

This operation takes one parameter, an indexed array. Each element of this array must be an associative array with the keys shown in the preceding table.

You can create multiple ports as shown in the following example:

    $ports = $networkingService->createPorts(array(
        array(
            'name' => 'My port #1',
            'networkId' => 'eb60583c-57ea-41b9-8d5c-8fab2d22224c'
        ),
        array(
            'name' => 'My port #2',
            'networkId' => 'eb60583c-57ea-41b9-8d5c-8fab2d22224c'
        )
    ));

    foreach ($ports as $port) {
        /** @var $port OpenCloud\Networking\Resource\Port **/
    }

## List ports

You can list all the ports to which you have access as shown in the following example:

    $ports = $networkingService->listPorts();

    foreach ($ports as $port) {
        /** @var $port OpenCloud\Networking\Resource\Port **/
    }

## Get a port

You can retrieve a specific port by using that port’s ID, as shown in the following example:

    /** @var $port OpenCloud\Networking\Resource\Port **/
    $port = $networkingService->getPort('{portId}');

## Update a port

This operation takes one parameter, an associative array, with the following keys:

Name | Description | Data type | Required? | Default value | Example value
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`name` | A human-readable name for the port. This name might not be unique. | String | No | `null` | `My port`
`adminStateUp` | The administrative state of port. If `false` (down), the port does not forward packets. | Boolean | No | `true` | `true`
`fixedIps` | IP addresses for this port | Indexed array of associative arrays | No | Automatically allocated from the pool | `array(array('subnetId' => '75906d20-6625-11e4-9803-0800200c9a66', 'ipAddress' => '192.168.199.59'))`
`deviceId` | Identifies the device (for example, virtual server) using this port | String | No | `null` | `5e3898d7-11be-483e-9732-b2f5eccd2b2e`
`deviceOwner` | Identifies the entity (for example, DHCP agent) using this port | String | No | `null` | `network:router_interface`
`securityGroups` | Specifies the IDs of any security groups associated with this port | Indexed array of strings | No | Empty array | `array('f0ac4394-7e4a-4409-9701-ba8be283dbc3')`

You can update a port as shown in the following example:

    $port->update(array(
        'fixedIps' => array(
            array(
                'subnetId'  => '75906d20-6625-11e4-9803-0800200c9a66',
                'ipAddress' => '192.168.199.59'
            )
        )
    ));
