# create

Create a Cross-Connect

## Usage

```
ionosctl compute pcc create [flags]
```

## Aliases

For `pcc` command:

```
[cc]
```

For `create` command:

```
[c]
```

## Description

Use this command to create a Cross-Connect (Private Cross-Connect).

This creates the empty Cross-Connect object only; no LAN is attached yet. After creation, attach LANs by running `ionosctl compute lan update --datacenter-id <DC_ID> --lan-id <LAN_ID> --pcc-id <PCC_ID>` for each private LAN you want to peer. All LANs you attach must be in the same contract and region and must have non-overlapping private IP ranges.

## Options

```
  -u, --api-url string       Override default host URL. Preferred over the config file override 'cloud' and env var 'IONOS_API_URL' (default "https://api.ionos.com")
      --cols strings         Set of columns to be printed on output 
                             Available columns: [PccId Name Description State]

  -f, --force                Force command to execute without user input
  -h, --help                 Print usage
      --limit int            Maximum number of items to return per request (default 50)
  -n, --name string          The name for the Cross-Connect. Purely a display label; does not affect connectivity (default "Unnamed PrivateCrossConnect")
      --no-headers           Don't print table headers when table output is used
      --offset int           Number of items to skip before starting to collect the results

# Create and wait for the request to complete
ionosctl compute pcc create --name "prod-interconnect" --wait
