NSX-T Data Center REST API

Create or update a Tier-0 interface

If an interface with the interface-id is not already present, create a new
interface. If it already exists, replace the interface with this object.

Method:

PUT

Query Parameters:

OverrideRequestParameters+

OverrideRequestParameters (schema)

Name	Description	Type	Notes
override	Locally override the global object If true, the global resource can be over written locally. This means that there will be a local only resource in place of the global resource that can reflect local specific settings and values. The global object will continue to exist but will not be used for any configuration until this local object is removed. When the object is overridden the Global resource continues to exist unmodified, while the overridden object is created with all of the user specified values. The Global resource may be updated in the background, however, the overridden object may only be updated by the user. Once the user removes the overridden copy, the Global resource will then resume being used in the configuration.	boolean	Default: "False"

Name	Description	Type	Notes
_create_time	Timestamp of resource creation	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_create_user	ID of the user who created this resource	string	Readonly
_last_modified_time	Timestamp of last modification	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_last_modified_user	ID of the user who last modified this resource	string	Readonly
_links	References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.	array of ResourceLink	Readonly
_protection	Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.	int
_schema	Schema for this resource	string	Readonly
_self	Link to this resource	SelfResourceLink	Readonly
_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly
access_vlan_id	Vlan id Vlan id.	VlanID
admin_state	Flag to enable/disable admin_state of tier-0 service port This flag is used to enable/disable admin state on tier-0 service port. If admin_state flag value is not specified then default is UP. When set to UP then traffic on service port will be enabled and service port is enabled from routing perspective. When set to DOWN then traffic on service port will be disabled and service port is down from routing perspective. This flag is experimental because it will be used in V2T BYOT migration. This flag should not be set to UP or DOWN if EVPN is configured, and tier-0 LR is in A/S mode. Also this flag can not be set to UP or DOWN for service interfaces which are configured on vrf-lite.	string	Experimental Enum: UP, DOWN
children	subtree for this type within policy tree subtree for this type within policy tree containing nested elements.	array of ChildPolicyConfigResource Children are not allowed for this type

display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
edge_cluster_member_index	Association of interface with edge cluster member Specify association of interface with edge cluster member. This property is deprecated, use edge_path instead. When both properties are specifed, only edge_path property is used.	int	Deprecated Minimum: 0
edge_path	Policy path to edge node Policy path to edge node to handle external connectivity. Required when interface type is EXTERNAL. Edge path is required for service interface when tier0 is in ACTIVE_ACTIVE ha_mode. Edge path is required for VRF service interface when parent tier0 is in ACTIVE_ACTIVE ha_mode.	string
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
igmp_local_join_groups	IGMP local join groups configuration IGMP local join groups configuration.	array of IPv4Address
ipv6_profile_paths	IPv6 NDRA profile configuration Configuration IPv6 NDRA profile. Only one NDRA profile can be configured.	array of string	Minimum items: 0 Maximum items: 1
ls_id	Logical switch id to attach tier-0 interface Specify logical switch to which tier-0 interface is connected for external access. This property is deprecated, use segment_path instead. Both properties cannot be used together.	string	Deprecated
marked_for_delete	Indicates whether the intent object is marked for deletion Intent objects are not directly deleted from the system when a delete is invoked on them. They are marked for deletion and only when all the realized entities for that intent object gets deleted, the intent object is deleted. Objects that are marked for deletion are not returned in GET call. One can use the search API to get these objects.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
mtu	MTU size Maximum transmission unit (MTU) specifies the size of the largest packet that a network protocol can transmit.	int	Minimum: 64
multicast	Multicast PIM configuration Multicast PIM configuration.	Tier0InterfacePimConfig
ospf	OSPF configuration OSPF configuration.	PolicyInterfaceOspfConfig
overridden	Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object Global intent objects cannot be modified by the user. However, certain global intent objects can be overridden locally by use of this property. In such cases, the overridden local values take precedence over the globally defined values for the properties.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
parent_path	Path of its parent Path of its parent	string	Readonly
path	Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object	string	Readonly
proxy_arp_filters	List of proxy Address Resolution Protocol Filters Array of prefix lists used to specify filtering for ARP proxy. Prefixes in this array are used to configure ARP proxy entries on Tier-0 gateway (for uplinks).	array of string	Minimum items: 0 Maximum items: 1
realization_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for realizing intent This is a UUID generated by the system for realizing the entity object. In most cases this should be same as 'unique_id' of the entity. However, in some cases this can be different because of entities have migrated thier unique identifier to NSX Policy intent objects later in the timeline and did not use unique_id for realization. Realization id is helpful for users to debug data path to correlate the configuration with corresponding intent.	string	Readonly
relative_path	Relative path of this object Path relative from its parent	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value Tier0Interface	string
segment_path	Segment to attach tier-0 interface Specify Segment to which this interface is connected to. Either segment_path or ls_id property is required.	string

tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
type	Interface type Interface type	string	Enum: EXTERNAL, SERVICE, LOOPBACK Default: "EXTERNAL"
unique_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify entites in a federated environment. For entities that are stretched across multiple sites, the same ID will be used on all the stretched sites.	string	Readonly
urpf_mode	Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding mode	string	Enum: NONE, STRICT Default: "STRICT"
