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

allow_changing_vdr_mac_in_use A flag to indicate if changing the VDR MAC being used is allowed

When this flag is set to true, it is allowed to change the VDR MAC being used by existing transport nodes in a NSX system. The VDR MAC used by a host switch in a transport node is decided by the OVERLAY transport zone(s) which the host switch joins. If any of the OVERLAY transport zone(s) has "nested_nsx" property being true, the MAC in "vdr_mac_nested" is used; otherwise the MAC in "vdr_mac" is used. Thus the VDR MAC being used by a host switch in a transport node can be changed in below ways. If the host switch is not in any OVERLAY transport zone whose "nested_nsx" property is true but is in an OVERLAY transport zone, the first way is updating the "vdr_mac" property. The 2nd way is updating one of the OVERLAY tranport zones joined by the host switch to set "nested_nsx" property true which will make the host switch use the VDR MAC in "vdr_mac_nested". The third way is directly updating the transport node to add an OVERLAY transport zone whose "nested_nsx" property is true into the host switch which will also make the host switch use the VDR MAC in "vdr_mac_nested". If the host switch is in some OVERLAY transport zone(s) whose "nested_nsx" property is true, the first way is updating the "vdr_mac_nested" property. The 2nd way is updating all those OVERLAY tranport zones to set "nested_nsx" property false which will make the host switch use the VDR MAC in "vdr_mac". The third way is directly updating the transport node to remove all those OVERLAY transport zones from the host switch which will also make the host switch use the VDR MAC in "vdr_mac". Please note that changing the VDR MAC being used by existing transport nodes will most likely cause traffic disruption and network outage! 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

l3_forwarding_mode L3 forwarding mode

This setting does not restrict configuration as per other modes. But the forwarding will only work as per the mode set here. string Required
Enum: IPV4_ONLY, IPV4_AND_IPV6
Default: "IPV4_ONLY"

logical_uplink_mtu MTU for the logical uplinks

This is the global default MTU for all the logical uplinks in a NSX domain. Currently logical uplink MTU can only be set globally and applies to the entire NSX domain. There is no option to override this value at transport zone level or transport node level. If this value is not set, the default value of 1500 will be used. int Default: "1500"

resource_type Must be set to the value RoutingGlobalConfig GlobalConfigType Required

tags Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user array of Tag Maximum items: 30

vdr_mac The MAC address of the Virtual Distributed Router (VDR) port

This is the global default MAC address for all VDRs in all transport nodes in a NSX system. When the property "allow_changing_vdr_mac_in_use" is false, it can not be changed if the current VDR MAC is being used by any transport node. A transport node uses this VDR MAC if any host switch in the node is in OVERLAY transport zone(s) but none of the transport zone(s) has "nested_nsx" property being true. MACAddress Default: "02:50:56:56:44:52"

vdr_mac_nested The MAC address of the Virtual Distributed Router (VDR) port in a nested NSX environment.

This is the global default MAC address for all VDRs in all transport nodes in a NSX system nested in another NSX system. All transport zones in such a nested NSX system will have the "nested_nsx" property being true so that all transport nodes will use this MAC for the VDR ports to avoid conflict with the VDR MAC in the outer NSX system. When the property "allow_changing_vdr_mac_in_use" is false, it can not be changed if the current VDR MAC is being used by any transport node in a nested NSX environment. A transport node uses this VDR MAC if any host switch in the node is in an OVERLAY transport zone whose "nested_nsx" property is true. MACAddress Default: "02:50:56:56:44:53"
