List Hostswitch Profiles

Returns information about the configured hostswitch profiles. Hostswitch
profiles define networking policies for hostswitches (sometimes referred to
as bridges in OVS). Currently, following profiles are supported.
UplinkHostSwitchProfile, LldpHostSwitchProfile, NiocProfile & ExtraConfigHostSwitchProfile.
Uplink profile - teaming defined in this profile allows NSX to load balance traffic across
different physical NICs (PNICs) on the hypervisor hosts. Multiple teaming policies are
supported, including LACP active, LACP passive, load balancing based on source ID, and
failover order.
Lldp profile - Enable or disable sending LLDP packets
NiocProfile - Network I/O Control settings: defines limits, shares and reservations for
various host traffic types.
ExtraConfig - Vendor specific configuration on HostSwitch, logical switch or logical port

PolicyHostSwitchProfileListRequestParameters (schema)

Name	Description	Type	Notes
cursor	Opaque cursor to be used for getting next page of records (supplied by current result page)	string
deployment_type	Deployment type of EdgeNode or PublicCloudGatewayNode If the node_type is specified, then deployment_type may be specified to filter uplink profiles applicable to only PHYSICAL_MACHINE or VIRTUAL_MACHINE deployments of these nodes.	EdgeDeploymentType
hostswitch_profile_type	Type of host switch profile	PolicyHostSwitchProfileType
include_mark_for_delete_objects	Include objects that are marked for deletion in results If true, resources that are marked for deletion will be included in the results. By default, these resources are not included.	boolean	Default: "False"
include_system_owned	Whether the list result contains system resources	boolean	Default: "False"
included_fields	Comma separated list of fields that should be included in query result Note - this parameter currently only works when used with the search APIs /policy/api/v1/search/query and /policy/api/v1/search/dsl. It is ignored for other list APIs.	string
max_active_uplink_count	Filter uplink profiles by number of active links in teaming policy. Filter uplink profiles whose number of active uplinks in teaming policy is less than or equal to max_active_uplink_count.	int
node_type	Fabric node type for which uplink profiles are to be listed The fabric node type is the resource_type of the Node such as EdgeNode and PublicCloudGatewayNode. If a fabric node type is given, uplink profiles that apply for nodes of the given type will be returned.	string	Enum: EdgeNode, PublicCloudGatewayNode
page_size	Maximum number of results to return in this page (server may return fewer)	integer	Minimum: 0 Maximum: 1000 Default: "1000"
sort_ascending		boolean
sort_by	Field by which records are sorted	string
uplink_teaming_policy_name	The host switch profile's uplink teaming policy name If populated, only UplinkHostSwitchProfiles with the specified uplink teaming policy name are returned. Otherwise, any HostSwitchProfile can be returned.	string
