NSX-T Data Center REST API
Create a Section with Rules (Removed in 4.0)
Creates a new serviceinsertion section with rules. The limit on the number ofrules is defined by maxItems in collection types for ServiceInsertionRule
(ServiceInsertionRuleXXXList types). When invoked on a section with a large number
of rules, this API is supported only at low rates of invocation (not more
than 4-5 times per minute). The typical latency of this API with about 1024
rules is about 4-5 seconds. This API should not be invoked with large
payloads at automation speeds. More than 50 rules are not supported.
Instead, to create sections, use:
POST /api/v1/serviceinsertion/sections
To create rules, use:
POST /api/v1/serviceinsertion/sections/<section-id>/rules
Deprecated: Note- POST service insertion section creation with rules API is deprecated. Please use policy redirection-policy API.
