az network nsg rule create incorrect syntax

[stevehardenCBR]

Describe the bug

When using az network nsg rule create command and using either of the following parameters the syntax for entering the data is incorrect (this should be updated in the ?? command:

--destination-address-prefixes
--destination-port-ranges
--source-address-prefixes
--source-port-ranges

when using these with multiple CIDR or ip addresses is says to pass them as "space separated strings" but when you pass --destination-address-prefixes 10.1.1.0/24 10.2.1.0/24 for example, you will receive an "incorrect parameter" message.

what you need to pass to these parameters is a splatted string such as

--destination-address-prefixes @("10.1.1.0/24","10.2.1.0/24")

Solution 2:

Judging by the weird error message and the fact that you are on Linux, my first thought is you need to quote the stars "*"
