### Description{% #description %}

The `nifcloud_elb` is configured to use the shared private network `net-COMMON_PRIVATE`. This exposes the private side to the shared network and should instead use a dedicated private LAN to maintain isolation. The rule flags any `nifcloud_elb` where `network_interface.network_id` equals `net-COMMON_PRIVATE`.

## Compliant Code Examples{% #compliant-code-examples %}

```terraform
resource "nifcloud_elb" "negative" {
  availability_zone = "east-11"
  instance_port     = 80
  protocol          = "HTTP"
  lb_port           = 80
  network_interface {
    network_id = nifcloud_private_lan.main.id
  }
}
```

## Non-Compliant Code Examples{% #non-compliant-code-examples %}

```terraform
resource "nifcloud_elb" "positive" {
  availability_zone = "east-11"
  instance_port     = 80
  protocol          = "HTTP"
  lb_port           = 80
  network_interface {
    network_id = "net-COMMON_GLOBAL"
  }
  network_interface {
    network_id = "net-COMMON_PRIVATE"
  }
}
```

```terraform
resource "nifcloud_elb" "positive" {
  availability_zone = "east-11"
  instance_port     = 80
  protocol          = "HTTP"
  lb_port           = 80
  network_interface {
    network_id = "net-COMMON_PRIVATE"
  }
}
