NSX-T Data Center REST API

Create a Bridge Endpoint (Deprecated)

Creates a Bridge Endpoint. It describes the physical attributes of the
bridge like vlan. A logical port can be attached to a vif providing
bridging functionality from the logical overlay network to the physical
vlan network.
Deprecated: Starting from NSXt 3.2.0, it is recommended to configure bridge endpoints using policy-based Segment APIs. This standalone API has been deprecated as of 3.2.0. Segment API for ref /policy/api/v1/infra/segments/

BridgeEndpoint (schema)

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
bridge_cluster_id	UUID of the bridge cluster for this bridge endpoint This field will not be used if an edge cluster is being used for the bridge endpoint	string	Maximum length: 36
bridge_endpoint_profile_id	Bridge endpoint profile used by the edge cluster This field will not be used if a bridge cluster is being used for the bridge endpoint	string
description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
ha_enable	Controls the enabling of HA on the VLAN for this endpoint This field will not be used if an edge cluster is being used for the bridge endpoint	boolean	Default: "True"
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
resource_type	Must be set to the value BridgeEndpoint	string
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
uplink_teaming_policy_name	The name of the switching uplink teaming policy for the bridge endpoint This name has to be one of the switching uplink teaming policy names listed inside the TransportZone. If this field is not specified, bridge will use the first pnic in host-switch config. This field will not be used if a bridge cluster is being used for the bridge endpoint	string
vlan	This property is used for VLAN specification of bridge endpoint. It's mutually exclusive with 'vlan_trunk_spec', either 'vlan' or 'vlan_trunk_spec' should be specified.	VlanID
vlan_transport_zone_id	VLAN transport zone id by the edge cluster This field will not be used if a bridge cluster is being used for the bridge endpoint	string
vlan_trunk_spec	VLAN trunk spec of edge bridge endpoint This property is used for VLAN trunk specification of edge bridge endpoint. It's mutually exclusive with 'vlan', either 'vlan' or 'vlan_trunk_spec' should be specified.	VlanTrunkSpec
