az command for adding a new Private Link configuration and associate it with an existing Frontend IP

az feedback auto-generates most of the information requested below, as of CLI version 2.0.62

Related command — az network application-gateway private-link add --frontend-ip --name --subnet --gateway-name --resource-group —

Describe the bug — For using existing subnet, If I put name of a existing subnet into ‘–subnet’ argument, it won’t start the operation, and return ‘subnet duplicates’ error msg, however, it will work, if I put subnet resource ID.

To Reproduce — create a App GW with 2 subnets, one for app GW, and one for Private Link, then run command —

Expected behavior — Users would think subnet name and subnet resource ID, both should work, and expecting better explanation with error msg—

Environment summary — Cloud shell / az CLI —

@necusjz that’s right, I understand the design. because there is user posted questions about this on the internet, maybe return error msg can be more clear, let user know, in order to use existing subnet, please enter subnet resources ID. thanks.

@elshat128, so true, but such design also avoids the problem of subnet reuse.
