Description

Setting up Expressroute Direct circuits require some other parameters than circuits using a service provider:

• bandwidthInGbps, not bandwidthInMbps
• expressRoutePort
• portType should be false and possible some other parameters that need to be adjusted.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_express_route_circuit

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "azurerm_express_route_circuit" "example" {
  name                  = "expressRoute1"
  resource_group_name   = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  location              = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  service_provider_name = "Microsoft.Network"
  peering_location      = "Silicon Valley"
  bandwidth_in_Gbps     = 1
  express_route_port_id = "/subscriptions/0000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/exprtTest/providers/Microsoft.Network/expressRoutePorts/er-exampleport"

  sku {
    tier   = "Standard"
    family = "MeteredData"
  }

  tags = {
    environment = "Production"
  }
}

@tombuildsstuff Is there work being done on this issue in the background?

[LaurentLesle]

Is there a way to fast track this resource?

[LaurentLesle]

Instead of creating a new resource why not extending the existing azurerm_express_route_circuit

[ArielRam99]

Looks like the azurerm_express_route_circuit has an arguement for express_route_port_id.

Here's the link : https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/express_route_circuit#express_route_port_id
