Create or update a segment

If segment with the segment-id is not already present, create a new segment.
If it already exists, replace the segment with this object.
Note:
Extended Segment: Please note that old vpn path deprecated. If user specify old l2vpn path in the
"l2_extension" object in the PUT API payload, the path returned in the PUT/GET response payload may include the new path
instead of the deprecated l2vpn path. Both old and new l2vpn path refer to same resource. there is no functional impact.
Also note that l2vpn path included in the Alarm, GPRR, error messages returned from validation may include the new VPN path
instead of the deprecated l2vpn path. Both new path and old vpn path refer to same resource.

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.

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.

Default transport zone is auto assigned for overlay segments if none specified.	string
type	Segment type Segment type based on configuration.	string	Readonly Enum: ROUTED, EXTENDED, ROUTED_AND_EXTENDED, DISCONNECTED
unique_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify entites in a federated environment. For entities that are stretched across multiple sites, the same ID will be used on all the stretched sites.	string	Readonly
