NSX-T Data Center REST API

Create NSProfile (Deprecated)

Creates a new NSProfile which allows users to encapsulate attribute and
sub-attributes of network services.
Rules for using attributes and sub-attributes in single NSProfile
1. One type of attribute can't have multiple occurrences. ( Example -
Attribute type APP_ID can be used only once per NSProfile.)
2. Values for an attribute are mentioned as array of strings.
( Example - For type APP_ID , values can be mentioned as ["SSL","FTP"].)
3. If sub-attribtes are mentioned for an attribute, then only single
value is allowed for that attribute.
4. To get a list of supported
attributes and sub-attributes fire the following REST API
GET https://<nsx-mgr>/api/v1/ns-profiles/attributes
Deprecated: This API is deprecated. Use PATCH /infra/context-profiles/
