NSX-T Data Center REST API

Create a new IP Subnet

Creates a new IpAddressPoolSubnet with the specified ID if it does not
already exist. If a IpAddressPoolSubnet of the given ID already exists,
IpAddressPoolSubnet will be updated. This is a full replace.

Request Body:

IpAddressPoolBlockSubnet+

IpAddressPoolBlockSubnet (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
allocation_range	Range used for allocation/release of IPs from subnet. Allocation range is used to limit subnet range to be used for allocations of IPs from subnet. This must be less than or equal to subnet size. Instead of taking whole subnet range for allocations, user can limit the range used for allocation of IPs. This is very useful in IPv6 case where big subnets needs to be carved out from IpAddressBlock but whole subnet range will not be needed for IP allocations. Eg: subnet range is (2002:2345::0001-2002:2345::7fff:ffff): subnet_start_ip: 2002:2345::0001-2002:2345 subnet_end_ip: 2002:2345::7fff:ffff User would like to use only 128 IPs for allocations. allocation_range: 128 allocation range used (2002:2345::0001-2002:2345::7fff:007f): allocation_range_start_ip: 2002:2345::0001-2002:2345 allocation_range_end_ip: 2002:2345::7fff:007f	integer	Minimum: 1 Maximum: 1048576
auto_assign_gateway	Indicate whether default gateway is to be reserved from the range If this property is set to true, the first IP in the range will be reserved for gateway.	boolean	Default: "True"
broadcast_address	Broadcast Address Represents Broadcast address of the subnet in a NSX+ instance.	string	Readonly
children	Subtree for this type within policy tree Subtree for this type within policy tree containing nested elements. Note that this type is applicable to be used in Hierarchical API only.	array of ChildPolicyConfigResource Children are not allowed for this type
cidr	A contiguous IP address space represented by network address and prefix length Represents network address and the prefix length in a NSX+ instance which will be associated with a layer-2 broadcast domain.	string	Readonly Format: ip-cidr-block
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

id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
ip_block_path	The path of the IpAddressBlock from which the subnet is to be created.	string	Required
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"
network_address	Network Address Represents Network address of the subnet in a NSX+ instance.	string	Readonly
origin_site_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for knowing which site owns an object This is a UUID generated by the system for knowing which site owns an object. This is used in NSX+.	string	Readonly
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"
owner_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for the ownership of an object This is a UUID generated by the system for knowing who owns this object. This is used in NSX+.	string	Readonly
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
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 their 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
remote_path	Path of the object on the remote end. This is the path of the object on the local managers when queried on the NSX+ service, and path of the object on NSX+ service when queried from the local managers.	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value IpAddressPoolBlockSubnet	IpAddressPoolSubnetType	Required
size	Represents the size or number of IP addresses in the subnet The size parameter is required for subnet creation. It must be specified during creation but cannot be changed later. Please use subnet_size instead as integer type cannot hold big values needs for IPv6.	integer	Deprecated
start_ip	Represents start ip address of the subnet For internal system use Only. Represents start ip address of the subnet from IP block. Subnet ip adddress will start from this ip address.	IPAddress
subnet_size	Represents the size or number of IP addresses in the subnet The size parameter is required for subnet creation. It must be specified during creation but cannot be changed later.	string
sync_realization	Synchronize realization Realization of intent will be called synchronously	boolean	Default: "False"
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
unique_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify entities 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
