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
address_bindings	Address bindings for logical port Each address binding must contain both an IPElement and MAC address. VLAN ID is optional. This binding configuration can be used by features such as spoof-guard and overrides any discovered bindings. Any non unique entries are deduplicated to generate a unique set of address bindings and then stored. For IP addresses, a subnet address cannot have host bits set. A maximum of 128 unique address bindings is allowed per port.	array of PacketAddressClassifier	Minimum items: 0 Maximum items: 512
admin_state	Represents Desired state of the logical port	string	Required Enum: UP, DOWN
attachment	Logical port attachment	LogicalPortAttachment
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
extra_configs	Extra configs on logical port This property could be used for vendor specific configuration in key value string pairs. Logical port setting will override logical switch setting if the same key was set on both logical switch and logical port.	array of ExtraConfig
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
ignore_address_bindings	Address bindings to be ignored by IP Discovery module IP Discovery module uses various mechanisms to discover address bindings being used on each port. If a user would like to ignore any specific discovered address bindings or prevent the discovery of a particular set of discovered bindings, then those address bindings can be provided here. Currently IP range in CIDR format is not supported.	array of PacketAddressClassifier	Minimum items: 0 Maximum items: 16
init_state	Initial state of this logical ports Set initial state when a new logical port is created. 'UNBLOCKED_VLAN' means new port will be unblocked on traffic in creation, also VLAN will be set with corresponding logical switch setting. This port setting can only be configured at port creation (POST), and cannot be modified. 'RESTORE_VIF' fetches and restores VIF attachment from ESX host.	LogicalPortInitState
internal_id	ID of the logical port in Global Manager The internal_id of the logical port may or may not be identical to it's managed resource ID. If a VirtualMachine connected to logical port migrates from one site to another, then on the destination site, it will be connected to different logical port managed resource. However, the internal_id field will be persisted across vmotion.	string
logical_switch_id	Id of the Logical switch that this port belongs to.	string	Required
origin_id	ID of the distributed virtual port and the distributed virtual switch in the source vCenter ID populated by NSX when NSX on DVPG is used to indicate the source distributed virtual port and the corresponding distributed virtual switch. This ID is populated only for logical ports that belong to a logical switch of type DVPG.	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value LogicalPort	string
switching_profile_ids		array of SwitchingProfileTypeIdEntry
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
