$ az network vnet create -g "azureadministrator-euw-rg" -n "vnetforsubnetswithsubnet" --subnet-name "FirstSubnet" --subnet-prefix "10.0.0.0/29"

• --subnet-name: Name of the subnet created
• --subnet-prefix: Available address space for a subnet

Remember that in Azure, all the subnets use CIDR to declare the available address space. In the preceding example, we declared that our subnet will contain eight available addresses using the ...
