Create subnet of specified size within an IP block

Carves out a subnet of requested size from the specified IP block. The "size"
parameter and the "block_id " are the requireds field while invoking this API.
If the IP block has sufficient resources/space to allocate a subnet of specified size,
the response will contain all the details of the newly created subnet including the
display_name, description, cidr & allocation_ranges. Returns a conflict error
if the IP block does not have enough resources/space to allocate a subnet of
the requested size.

_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.
