_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.

Sortable
enable_rst_spoofing Flag to indicate RST spoofing is enabled or not

The flag to indicate RST spoofing is enabled or not. This option does not apply to EDGE components. This can be enabled only if syncache is enabled.
boolean Default: "False"
enable_syncache Flag to indicate syncache is enabled or not

The flag to indicate syncache is enabled or not. This option does not apply to EDGE components.
boolean Default: "False"
icmp_active_flow_limit Maximum limit of active icmp connections

The maximum limit of active icmp connections. If this property is omitted, or set to null, then there is no limit on active icmp connections for those components if it's applied to ESX components (such as segment, segment port, virtual machine, etc); on the other side, if it's applied to EDGE components (such as, gateway), it will be set to default limit (10,000) on the specific components.
integer Minimum: 1
Maximum: 1000000
id Unique identifier of this resource string Sortable
nat_active_conn_limit Maximum limit of active NAT connections

The maximum limit of active NAT connections. This limit only apply to EDGE components (such as, gateway). If this property is omitted, or set to null, then there is no limit on the specific component. Meanwhile there is an implicit limit which depends on the underlying hardware resource.
integer Minimum: 1
Maximum: 4294967295
Default: "4294967295"
other_active_conn_limit Maximum limit of other active connections besides udp, icmp and tcp half open connections

The maximum limit of other active connections besides udp, icmp and half open tcp connections. If this property is omitted, or set to null, then there is no limit on other active connections besides udp, icmp and tcp half open connections for those components if it's applied to ESX components (such as segment, segment port, virtual machine, etc); on the other side, if it's applied to EDGE components (such as, gateway), it will be set to default limit (10,000) on the specific components.
integer Minimum: 1
Maximum: 1000000
resource_type Must be set to the value FirewallFloodProtectionProfile string Required
Enum: FirewallSessionTimerProfile, FirewallCpuMemThresholdsProfile, FirewallFloodProtectionProfile, FirewallDnsProfile, GeneralSecuritySettingsProfile
tags Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user array of Tag Maximum items: 30
tcp_half_open_conn_limit Maximum limit of half open tcp connections

The maximum limit of tcp half open connections. If this property is omitted, or set to null, then there is no limit on active tcp half open connections for those components if it's applied to ESX components (such as segment, segment port, virtual machine, etc); on the other side, if it's applied to EDGE components (such as, gateway), it will be set to default limit (1,000,000) on the specific components.
integer Minimum: 1
Maximum: 1000000
udp_active_flow_limit Maximum limit of active udp connections

The maximum limit of active udp connections. If this property is omitted, or set to null, then there is no limit on active udp connections for those components if it's applied to ESX components (such as segment, segment port, virtual machine, etc); on the other side, if it's applied to EDGE components (such as, gateway), it will be set to default limit (100,000) on the specific component.
integer Minimum: 1
Maximum: 1000000
