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
check_overlap_with_existing_pools	Specifies whether to perform overlap check with existing IP pools If true, a validation error will be thrown if another IP pool is found to be overlapping with this pool. The flag is false by default.	boolean	Default: "False"
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
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
ip_release_delay	IP address release delay in milliseconds Delay in milliseconds, while releasing allocated IP address from IP pool (Default is 2 mins).	integer
pool_usage	Pool usage statistics	PoolUsage	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value IpPool	string
subnets	The collection of one or more subnet objects in a pool Subnets can be IPv4 or IPv6 and they should not overlap. The maximum number will not exceed 5 subnets.	array of IpPoolSubnet	Maximum items: 5
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
