LogicalRouter (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
advanced_config	Logical Router Configuration Contains config properties for tier0 routers	LogicalRouterConfig
allocation_profile	Edge Cluster Member Allocation Profile Configurations options to auto allocate edge cluster members for logical router. Auto allocation is supported only for TIER1 and pick least utilized member post current assignment for next allocation.	EdgeClusterMemberAllocationProfile
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
edge_cluster_id	Identifier of the edge cluster for this Logical Router Used for tier0 routers	string
edge_cluster_member_indices	Member indices of the edge node on the cluster For stateful services, the logical router should be associated with edge cluster. For TIER 1 logical router, for manual placement of service router within the cluster, edge cluster member indices needs to be provided else same will be auto-allocated. You can provide maximum two indices for HA ACTIVE_STANDBY. For TIER0 logical router this property is no use and placement is derived from logical router uplink or loopback port.	array of integer
failover_mode	Failover mode for active-standby logical router instances. Determines the behavior when a logical router instance restarts after a failure. If set to PREEMPTIVE, the preferred node will take over, even if it causes another failure. If set to NON_PREEMPTIVE, then the instance that restarted will remain secondary. This property must not be populated unless the high_availability_mode property is set to ACTIVE_STANDBY. If high_availability_mode property is set to ACTIVE_STANDBY and this property is not specified then default will be NON_PREEMPTIVE.	string	Enum: PREEMPTIVE, NON_PREEMPTIVE
firewall_sections	LR Firewall Section References List of Firewall sections related to Logical Router.	array of ResourceReference	Readonly
high_availability_mode	High availability mode	string	Enum: ACTIVE_ACTIVE, ACTIVE_STANDBY
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
ipv6_profiles	IPv6 Profiles IPv6Profiles captures IPv6 NDRA Profile and DAD Profile id associated with the logical router.	IPv6Profiles
preferred_edge_cluster_member_index	Preferred edge cluster member index Preferred edge cluster member index which is required for PREEMPTIVE failover mode. Used for Tier0 routers only.	integer	Minimum: 0
resource_type	Must be set to the value LogicalRouter	string
router_type	Type of Logical Router TIER0 for external connectivity. TIER1 for two tier topology with TIER0 on top. VRF for isolation of routing table on TIER0.	string	Required Enum: TIER0, TIER1, VRF
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
