SegmentPort (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
address_bindings	Address bindings for the port Static address binding used for the port.	array of PortAddressBindingEntry	Maximum items: 512
admin_state	Represents desired state of the segment port	string	Enum: UP, DOWN Default: "UP"
attachment	VIF attachment Only VIF attachment is supported	PortAttachment
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 (Abstract type: pass one of the following concrete types) ChildPortDiscoveryProfileBindingMap ChildPortMonitoringProfileBindingMap ChildPortQoSProfileBindingMap ChildPortRealTimeEthProfileBindingMap ChildPortSecurityProfileBindingMap
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 segment port This property could be used for vendor specific configuration in key value string pairs. Segment port setting will override segment setting if the same key was set on both segment and segment port.	array of SegmentExtraConfig
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
ignored_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 segment 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 PortAddressBindingEntry	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, and cannot be modified. 'RESTORE_VIF' fetches and restores VIF attachment from ESX host.	string	Enum: UNBLOCKED_VLAN, RESTORE_VIF
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_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 ports attached to discovered segments.	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 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
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 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 SegmentPort	string
source_site_id	source site(LM) id. This field will refer to the source site on which the segment port is discovered. This field is populated by GM, when it receives corresponding notification from LM.	string	Readonly
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
tofu_version	Version of Trust On First Use (TOFU) paradigm. This is an experimental field. The TOFU workflow will be triggered upon modification of this value to a different non-zero positive value.	integer	Experimental Minimum: 0 Maximum: 4294967295
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
