NSX-T Data Center REST API

Create or update a Nat Rule

If a NAT Rule is not already present on Tier-1 denoted by Tier-1 ID,
under NAT section denoted by <nat-id>, create a new NAT Rule.
If it already exists, update the NAT Rule.
Under tier-1 there will be 3 different NATs(sections).
(INTERNAL, USER and DEFAULT)
For more details related to NAT section please refer to PolicyNAT schema.
Note:
IPSecVpnSession as Scope: Please note that old IPSecVpnSession policy path deprecated. If user specifiy old IPSecVpnSession path in the
scope property, the path returned in the GET response payload will be a new path instead of the deprecated IPSecVpnSession path
Both old and new IPSecVpnSession path refer to same resource. there is no functional impact.

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
action	Represents action of NAT Rule SNAT, DNAT, REFLEXIVE Source NAT(SNAT) - translates a source IP address in an outbound packet so that the packet appears to originate from a different network. SNAT is only supported when the logical router is running in active-standby mode. Destination NAT(DNAT) - translates the destination IP address of inbound packets so that packets are delivered to a target address into another network. DNAT is only supported when the logical router is running in active-standby mode. Reflexive NAT(REFLEXIVE) - IP-Range and CIDR are supported to define the "n". The number of original networks should be exactly the same as that of translated networks. The address translation is deterministic. Reflexive is supported on both Active/Standby and Active/Active LR. NO_SNAT and NO_DNAT - These do not have support for translated_fields, only source_network and destination_network fields are supported.

description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
destination_network	Represents the destination network This supports single IP address or comma separated list of single IP addresses or CIDR. This does not support IP range or IP sets. For DNAT and NO_DNAT rules, this is a mandatory field, and represents the destination network for the incoming packets. For other type of rules, optionally it can contain destination network of outgoing packets. NULL value for this field represents ANY network. For VPC DNAT NATRule, destination network address should be IPv4 address allocated from External Block associated with VPC.	IPElementList

enabled	Policy NAT Rule enabled flag The flag, which suggests whether the NAT rule is enabled or disabled. The default is True.	boolean	Default: "True"
firewall_match	Represents the firewall match flag It indicates how the firewall matches the address after NATing if firewall stage is not skipped. MATCH_EXTERNAL_ADDRESS indicates the firewall will be applied to external address of a NAT rule. For SNAT, the external address is the translated source address after NAT is done. For DNAT, the external address is the original destination address before NAT is done. For REFLEXIVE, to egress traffic, the firewall will be applied to the translated source address after NAT is done; To ingress traffic, the firewall will be applied to the original destination address before NAT is done. MATCH_INTERNAL_ADDRESS indicates the firewall will be applied to internal address of a NAT rule. For SNAT, the internal address is the original source address before NAT is done. For DNAT, the internal address is the translated destination address after NAT is done. For REFLEXIVE, to egress traffic, the firewall will be applied to the original source address before NAT is done; To ingress traffic, the firewall will be applied to the translated destination address after NAT is done. BYPASS indicates the firewall stage will be skipped. For NO_SNAT or NO_DNAT, it must be BYPASS or leave it unassigned	string	Enum: MATCH_EXTERNAL_ADDRESS, MATCH_INTERNAL_ADDRESS, BYPASS Default: "MATCH_INTERNAL_ADDRESS"
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
logging	Policy NAT Rule logging flag The flag, which suggests whether the logging of NAT rule is enabled or disabled. The default is False.	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 get 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"
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 locally 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

path	Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object	string	Readonly
policy_based_vpn_mode	Indicates NSX edge Nat behaviour for inbound VPN tra It indicates how the NSX edge applies Nat Policy for VPN traffic. It is supported only for Nat Rule action type DNAT and NO_DNAT. For all other NAT action, leave it unassigned. BYPASS - Default vpn mode. It indicates that Nat policy will be applied to the inbound traffic on Routed Based VPN tunnel, if the policy based VTI is in the "scope" for this rule. Default value will be set to BYPASS if MATCH - It indicates that this NAT rule will only match the Policy Based VPN traffic.	string	Enum: BYPASS, MATCH
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 path is populated only in case of multi-site scenario. Currently it is supported only for LM objects. When LM is onboarded to multi-site platform like NAPP or GM, remote_path will be set to the globally unique path across multi-site topology . It is generated based on local site-name and uses /org tree namespace. Note: It is populated only for LM objects. Not supported on the GM.	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value PolicyNatRule	string
scope	Array of policy paths of labels, ProviderInterface, NetworkInterface Represents the array of policy paths of ProviderInterface or NetworkInterface or labels of type ProviderInterface or NetworkInterface or IPSecVpnSession on which the NAT rule should get enforced.

service	Represents the service on which the NAT rule will be applied It represents the path of Service on which the NAT rule will be applied. If not provided or if it is blank then Policy manager will consider it as ANY. Please note, if this is a DNAT, the destination_port of the service will be realized on NSX Manager as the translated_port. And if this is a SNAT, the destination_port will be ignored.	string
source_network	Represents the source network address This supports single IP address or comma separated list of single IP addresses or CIDR. This does not support IP range or IP sets. For SNAT, NO_SNAT, NAT64 and REFLEXIVE rules, this is a mandatory field and represents the source network of the packets leaving the network.

translated_network	Represents the translated network address This supports single IP address or comma separated list of single IP addresses or CIDR. If user specify the CIDR, this value is actually used as an IP pool that includes both the subnet and broadcast addresses as valid for NAT translations. This does not support IP range or IP sets. Comma separated list of single IP addresses is not suported for DNAT and REFLEXIVE rules. For SNAT, DNAT, NAT64 and REFLEXIVE rules, this ia a mandatory field, which represents the translated network address. For NO_SNAT and NO_DNAT this should be empty. For VPC SNAT and Refelexive NATRule, translated network address should be IPv4 address allocated from External Block associated with VPC.	IPElementList
translated_ports	Port number or port range Please note, if there is service configured in this NAT rule, the translated_port will be realized on NSX Manager as the destination_port. If there is no sevice configured, the port will be ignored.	PortElement
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
