array of ResourceLink | Readonly |
| _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. |

| display_name | Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set |
string | Maximum length: 255 Sortable |
| extra_configs | Extra configs on segment port This property could be used for vendor specific configuration in key value string pairs. Segment port setting will override segment setting if the same key was set on both segment and segment port. |
array of SegmentExtraConfig | |
| id | Unique identifier of this resource | string | Sortable |
| ignored_address_bindings | Address bindings to be ignored by IP Discovery module IP Discovery module uses various mechanisms to discover address bindings being used on each segment port. If a user would like to ignore any specific discovered address bindings or prevent the discovery of a particular set of discovered bindings, then those address bindings can be provided here. Currently IP range in CIDR format is not supported. |
array of PortAddressBindingEntry | Minimum items: 0 Maximum items: 16 |
| init_state | Initial state of this logical ports Set initial state when a new logical port is created. 'UNBLOCKED_VLAN' means new port will be unblocked on traffic in creation, also VLAN will be set with corresponding logical switch setting. This port setting can only be configured at port creation, and cannot be modified. 'RESTORE_VIF' fetches and restores VIF attachment from ESX host. |
string | Enum: UNBLOCKED_VLAN, RESTORE_VIF |
| 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" |
| origin_id | ID of the distributed virtual port and the distributed virtual switch in the source vCenter ID populated by NSX when NSX on DVPG is used to indicate the source Distributed Virtual Port and the corresponding Distributed Virtual Switch. This ID is populated only for ports attached to discovered segments. |
string | Readonly |
| 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" |
| parent_path | Path of its parent Path of its parent |
string | Readonly |
| 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 |
| relative_path | Relative path of this object Path relative from its parent |
string | Readonly |
| resource_type | Must be set to the value SegmentPort | string | |
| source_site_id | source site(LM) id. This field will refer to the source site on which the segment port is discovered. This field is populated by GM, when it receives corresponding notification from LM. |
string | Readonly |
| tags | Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user | array of Tag | Maximum items: 30 |
| 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 |
