It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Value is one of: ENDING_ADDRESS: The end address of the IPv4 address range is specified by providing the IPv4 end address. Warning: This constant is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. ADDRESS_COUNT: The end address of the IPv4 address range is derived from the specified starting address and address count. This option is for future use. It is not supported yet.

Optional
overlay_network.vlan	long	The VLAN identifier for this network. Possible values: A value from 1 to 4094 specifies a VLAN ID for the network. Any other value (including 0) is invalid. . Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Optional. This field is currently required. It is optional for future development.
overlay_network.mode	string	The IP address allocation mode. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Optional. If unset, DHCP is assumed.
overlay_network.create_ip_pool	boolean	Specifies if a new NSX IP pool must be used for IP address allocation for this network interface. This field is required if vcenter.nsx.cluster_overlay_network_spec.mode is set to IP_POOL. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Optional. It is only relevant when mode has value IP_POOL. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of `mode` is IP_POOL.
overlay_network.ip_pool_spec	ip_pool_create_spec	New NSX IP pool information. If the vcenter.nsx.cluster_overlay_network_spec.mode is set to IP_POOL and vcenter.nsx.cluster_overlay_network_spec.create_ip_pool is set to true, then this field contains the specification for the new NSX IP pool to be created and used for the network interface.

The IP address from this NSX IP pool is assigned to a new vmnic on each host in the vSphere cluster. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Optional. It is only relevant when mode has value IP_POOL. To be unset when vcenter.nsx.cluster_overlay_network_spec.create_ip_pool is true. If it is set when vcenter.nsx.cluster_overlay_network_spec.create_ip_pool is set to true, then it is ignored.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: `com.vmware.nsx.pools.ip_pool`.
