title: About the aws_subnet Resource
platform: aws
---
# aws\_subnet
Use the `aws_subnet` InSpec audit resource to test properties of a vpc subnet.
To test properties of a single VPC subnet, use the `aws_subnet` resource.
To test properties of all or a group of VPC subnets, use the `aws_subnets` resource.
<br>
## Availability
### Installation
This resource is distributed along with InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
### Version
This resource first became available in v2.0.16 of InSpec.
## Syntax
An `aws_subnet` resource block uses the parameter to select a VPC and a subnet in the VPC.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-1234567') do
it { should exist }
its('cidr_block') { should eq '10.0.1.0/24' }
end
<br>
## Resource Parameters
This InSpec resource accepts the following parameters, which are used to search for the VPCs subnet.
### subnet\_id
A string identifying the subnet that the VPC contains.
# This will error if there is more than the default SG
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
it { should exist }
end
<br>
## Properties
* `availability_zone`, `available_ip_address_count`, `cidr_block`, `subnet_id`, `vpc_id`
<br>
## Property Examples
### availability\_zone
Provides the Availability Zone of the subnet.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
its('availability_zone') { should eq 'us-east-1c' }
end
### available\_ip\_address\_count
Provides the number of available IPv4 addresses on the subnet.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
its('available_ip_address_count') { should eq 251 }
end
### cidr\_block
Provides the block of ip addresses specified to the subnet.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
its('cidr_block') { should eq '10.0.1.0/24' }
end
### subnet\_id
Provides the ID of the Subnet.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
its('subnet_id') { should eq 'subnet-12345678' }
end
### vpc\_id
Provides the ID of the VPC the subnet is in.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
its('vpc_id') { should eq 'vpc-12345678' }
end
<br>
## Matchers
This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
### assigning\_ipv\_6\_address\_on\_creation
Detects if the network interface on the subnet accepts IPv6 addresses.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
it { should be_assigning_ipv_6_address_on_creation }
end
### available
Provides the current state of the subnet.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
it { should be_available }
end
### default\_for\_az
Detects if the subnet is the default subnet for the Availability Zone.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
it { should be_default_for_az }
end
### exist
The `exist` matcher indicates that a subnet exists for the specified vpc.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
it { should exist }
end
### mapping\_public\_ip\_on\_launch
Provides the VPC ID for the subnet.
describe aws_subnet(subnet_id: 'subnet-12345678') do
it { should be_mapping_public_ip_on_launch }
end
