Error while creating NIC in Azure Powershell, just because of invalid Private IP address,

Question

This was what I wrote:

$server1nic = New-AzNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName $rgname1 -Name "L-firstyear-ec-nic-02" -Location $location -Subnet $vnet1.subnets[0] -PublicIpAddress $server1pip -PrivateIpAddress "192.168.0.0/16"

Here, $rgname1 is resource group name; $location is chosen as eastasia; $vnet1 is a virtual network which has 4 subnets; $server1pip is public IP address.

And the error it showed:

New-AzNetworkInterface: Private static IP address value 192.168.0.0/16 is invalid. StatusCode: 400 ReasonPhrase: Bad Request ErrorCode: InvalidPrivateIPAddressFormat ErrorMessage: Private static IP address value 192.168.0.0/16 is invalid. OperationID : 2f4a9969-53a1-4ec2-984f-ffe165877c93

Answer 1

The value for the parameter -PrivateIpAddress should be like 192.168.0.x in the command you use. It must be a certain IP address in the subnet that you use. For example:

$server1nic = New-AzNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName $rgname1 -Name "L-firstyear-ec-nic-02" -Location $location -Subnet $vnet1.subnets[0] -PublicIpAddress $server1pip -PrivateIpAddress "192.168.0.10"
