To create a route
This example creates a route for the specified route table. The route matches all IPv4 traffic (0.0.0.0/0) and routes it to the specified Internet gateway. If the command succeeds, no output is returned.
Command:
aws ec2 create-route --route-table-id rtb-22574640 --destination-cidr-block 0.0.0.0/0 --gateway-id igw-c0a643a9
This example command creates a route in route table rtb-g8ff4ea2. The route matches traffic for the IPv4 CIDR block
10.0.0.0/16 and routes it to VPC peering connection, pcx-111aaa22. This route enables traffic to be directed to the peer
VPC in the VPC peering connection. If the command succeeds, no output is returned.
Command:
aws ec2 create-route --route-table-id rtb-g8ff4ea2 --destination-cidr-block 10.0.0.0/16 --vpc-peering-connection-id pcx-1a2b3c4d
