title: Creating a subnet using REST API
body: <p>I am trying to provision  a subnet using the below REST call</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @subnet-data.json https://&lt;userid&gt;:&lt;apikey&gt;@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Network/4601/createSubnet
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where 4601 is the id of my Network.</p>
  
  <p>The JSON Payload is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
  "parameters": [
      {
          "networkIdentifier": "172.31.10.0",
          "cidr": 24,
          "podName": "dal09.pod01",
      }
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>}</p>
  
  <p>But I get the following error</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"error":"Bad request","code":"SoftLayer_Exception_WebService_BadRequest"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please let me know the correct way to order a Subnet.
  Also if you can let me know how to find the correct/required parameters that would be great.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
