Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
Required
mode	string	The Address assignment mode. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7. Defines different IPv4 address assignment modes. This enumeration was added in vSphere API 6.7. Value is one of: DHCP: The IPv4 address is automatically assigned by a DHCP server. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7. STATIC: The IPv4 address is static. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7. UNCONFIGURED: The IPv4 protocol is not configured. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.
Optional
address	string	The IPv4 address, for example, "10.20.80.191". This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7. Optional. It is only relevant when mode has value STATIC. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of `mode` is STATIC.
prefix	long	The IPv4 CIDR prefix, for example, 24. See http://www.oav.net/mirrors/cidr.html for netmask-to-prefix conversion. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7. Optional. It is only relevant when mode has value STATIC. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of `mode` is STATIC.
default_gateway	string	The IPv4 address of the default gateway. This configures the global default gateway on the appliance with the specified gateway address and interface. This gateway replaces the existing default gateway configured on the appliance. However, if the gateway address is link-local, then it is added for that interface. This does not support configuration of multiple global default gateways through different interfaces. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7. Optional. If unset, the defaultGateway was never set.
