PolicyTransportZone (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
authorized_vlans	Authorized VLAN ids for this TransportZone This field lists vlan ids allowed on logical network entities, eg. Segments, bridges, etc. created under this transport zone. Can be empty, VLAN id or a range of VLAN ids specified with '-' in between. An empty list allows all vlan ids.	array of string
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
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
forwarding_mode	Transport Zone Forwarding Mode Transport Zone Forwarding Mode, must be one of either IPV4_ONLY or IPV6_ONLY or IPV4_AND_IPV6. Default is IPV4_ONLY.	string	Enum: IPV4_ONLY, IPV6_ONLY, IPV4_AND_IPV6
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
is_default	Flag to indicate if the transport zone is the default one Flag to indicate if the transport zone is the default one. Only one transport zone can be the default one for a given transport zone type.	boolean	Default: "False"
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"
nested_nsx	Flag to indicate if all transport nodes in this transport zone are connected through nested NSX. This flag should be set to true in nested NSX environment. When the "allow_changing_vdr_mac_in_use" property in the global config object RoutingGlobalConfig is false, this flag can not be changed if this transport zone is OVERLAY and the change will make any transport node in this transport zone to change the VDR MAC used in any host switch. When this flag is true and this transport zone is OVERLAY, all host switches in this transport zone will use the VDR MAC in the "vdr_mac_nested" property in the global config object RoutingGlobalConfig.	boolean	Default: "False"
nsx_id	Transport Zone UUID on NSX-T Enforcement Point UUID of transport zone on NSX-T enforcement point.	string	Readonly
origin_id	The host switch id generated by the system. This field is populated only if the transport zone was created by NSX system to support security on vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS). The origin_id will refer to the identifier of corresponding vDS from it's parent vCenter server.	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 PolicyTransportZone	string
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
transport_zone_profile_paths	Policy Transport Zone Profile paths Policy Transport Zone Profile paths	array of string
tz_type	Transport Zone Type Transport Zone Traffic type, must be one of either VLAN_BACKED or OVERLAY_BACKED. OVERLAY_STANDARD, OVERLAY_ENS and UNKNOWN are DEPRECATED. STANDARD, ENS and ENS_INTERRUPT are hostSwitch modes and same need to be given in HostTransportNode.HostSwitchSpec.	string	Required Enum: OVERLAY_STANDARD, OVERLAY_ENS, VLAN_BACKED, OVERLAY_BACKED, UNKNOWN
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
uplink_teaming_policy_names	Names of the switching uplink teaming policies that are supported by this transport zone. The names of switching uplink teaming policies that all transport nodes in this transport zone support. Uplinkin teaming policies are only valid for VLAN backed transport zones.	array of string
