Update NAT Rule

Update NAT Rule on Tier-1 denoted by Tier-1 ID, under NAT section
denoted by <nat-id>.
Under tier-1 there will be 3 different NATs(sections).
(INTERNAL, USER and DEFAULT)
For more details related to NAT section please refer to PolicyNAT schema.
Note:
IPSecVpnSession as Scope: Please note that old IPSecVpnSession policy path deprecated. If user specifiy old IPSecVpnSession path in the
scope property in the PUT API, the path returned in the GET/PUT response payload will be a new path instead of the deprecated IPSecVpnSession path
Both old and new IPSecVpnSession path refer to same resource. there is no functional impact.
This API is available when using VMware Cloud (AWS, Dell-EMC, Outpost, Hyperscalers) or VMware NSX-T.

_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
action	Represents action of NAT Rule SNAT, DNAT, REFLEXIVE Source NAT(SNAT) - translates a source IP address in an outbound packet so that the packet appears to originate from a different network. SNAT is only supported when the logical router is running in active-standby mode. Destination NAT(DNAT) - translates the destination IP address of inbound packets so that packets are delivered to a target address into another network. DNAT is only supported when the logical router is running in active-standby mode. Reflexive NAT(REFLEXIVE) - IP-Range and CIDR are supported to define the "n". The number of original networks should be exactly the same as that of translated networks. The address translation is deterministic. Reflexive is supported on both Active/Standby and Active/Active LR. NO_SNAT and NO_DNAT - These do not have support for translated_fields, only source_network and destination_network fields are supported. NAT64 - translates an external IPv6 address to a internal IPv4 address.	string	Required Enum: SNAT, DNAT, REFLEXIVE, NO_SNAT, NO_DNAT, NAT64

description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
destination_network	Represents the destination network This supports single IP address or comma separated list of single IP addresses or CIDR. This does not support IP range or IP sets. For DNAT and NO_DNAT rules, this is a mandatory field, and represents the destination network for the incoming packets. For other type of rules, optionally it can contain destination network of outgoing packets. NULL value for this field represents ANY network.	IPElementList
display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
enabled	Policy NAT Rule enabled flag The flag, which suggests whether the NAT rule is enabled or disabled. The default is True.	boolean	Default: "True"
firewall_match	Represents the firewall match flag It indicates how the firewall matches the address after NATing if firewall stage is not skipped. MATCH_EXTERNAL_ADDRESS indicates the firewall will be applied to external address of a NAT rule. For SNAT, the external address is the translated source address after NAT is done. For DNAT, the external address is the original destination address before NAT is done. For REFLEXIVE, to egress traffic, the firewall will be applied to the translated source address after NAT is done; To ingress traffic, the firewall will be applied to the original destination address before NAT is done. MATCH_INTERNAL_ADDRESS indicates the firewall will be applied to internal address of a NAT rule. For SNAT, the internal address is the original source address before NAT is done. For DNAT, the internal address is the translated destination address after NAT is done. For REFLEXIVE, to egress traffic, the firewall will be applied to the original source address before NAT is done; To ingress traffic, the firewall will be applied to the translated destination address after NAT is done. BYPASS indicates the firewall stage will be skipped. For NO_SNAT or NO_DNAT, it must be BYPASS or leave it unassigned	string	Enum: MATCH_EXTERNAL_ADDRESS, MATCH_INTERNAL_ADDRESS, BYPASS Default: "MATCH_INTERNAL_ADDRESS"
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
logging	Policy NAT Rule logging flag The flag, which suggests whether the logging of NAT rule is enabled or disabled. The default is False.	boolean	Default: "False"
marked_for_delete	Indicates whether the intent object is marked for deletion Intent objects are not directly deleted from the system when a delete is invoked on them. They are marked for deletion and only when all the realized entities for that intent object gets deleted, the intent object is deleted. Objects that are marked for deletion are not returned in GET call. One can use the search API to get these objects.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
overridden	Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object Global intent objects cannot be modified by the user. However, certain global intent objects can be overridden locally by use of this property. In such cases, the overridden local values take precedence over the globally defined values for the properties.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"

path	Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object	string	Readonly
realization_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for realizing intent This is a UUID generated by the system for realizing the entity object. In most cases this should be same as 'unique_id' of the entity. However, in some cases this can be different because of entities have migrated thier unique identifier to NSX Policy intent objects later in the timeline and did not use unique_id for realization. Realization id is helpful for users to debug data path to correlate the configuration with corresponding intent.	string	Readonly
