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
authorized_vlans	Authorized VLAN ids for this TransportZone This field lists vlan ids allowed on logical network entities, eg. Segments, bridges, etc. created under this transport zone. Can be empty, VLAN id or a range of VLAN ids specified with '-' in between. An empty list allows all vlan ids.	array of string
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
forwarding_mode	The forwarding mode of this transport zone.	ForwardingMode
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
is_default	Flag to indicate if the transport zone is the default one. Only one transport zone can be the default one for a given transport zone type. APIs that need transport zone can choose to use the default transport zone if a transport zone is not given.	boolean	Default: "False"
nested_nsx	Flag to indicate if all transport nodes in this transport zone are connected through nested NSX. This flag should be set to true in nested NSX environment. When the "allow_changing_vdr_mac_in_use" property in the global config object RoutingGlobalConfig is false, this flag can not be changed if this transport zone is OVERLAY and the change will make any transport node in this transport zone to change the VDR MAC used in any host switch. When this flag is true and this transport zone is OVERLAY, all host switches in this transport zone will use the VDR MAC in the "vdr_mac_nested" property in the global config object RoutingGlobalConfig.	boolean	Default: "False"
origin_id	The host switch id generated by the system. This field is populated only if the transport zone was created by NSX system to support security on vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS). The origin_id will refer to the identifier of corresponding vDS from it's parent vCenter server.	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value TransportZone	string
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
transport_type	The transport type of this transport zone.	TransportType	Required
transport_zone_profile_ids	Identifiers of the transport zone profiles associated with this TransportZone.	array of TransportZoneProfileTypeIdEntry
uplink_teaming_policy_names	Names of the switching uplink teaming policies that are supported by this transport zone. The names of switching uplink teaming policies that all transport nodes in this transport zone must support. An exception will be thrown if a transport node within the transport zone does not support a named teaming policy. The user will need to first ensure all trasnport nodes support the desired named teaming policy before assigning it to the transport zone. If the field is not specified, the host switch's default teaming policy will be used.	array of string
