| _create_time | Timestamp of resource creation | EpochMsTimestamp | Readonly Sortable |
| _create_user | ID of the user who created this resource | string | Readonly |
| _last_modified_time | Timestamp of last modification | EpochMsTimestamp | Readonly Sortable |
| _last_modified_user | ID of the user who last modified this resource | string | Readonly |
| _links | References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST. |
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. |
int | |
| _schema | Schema for this resource | string | Readonly |
| _self | Link to this resource | SelfResourceLink | Readonly |
| _system_owned | Indicates system owned resource | boolean | Readonly |
| arp_bindings_limit | Number of IP addresses to be snooped via ARP snooping Indicates the number of arp snooped IP addresses to be remembered per LogicalPort. Decreasing this value, will retain the latest bindings from the existing list of address bindings. Increasing this value will retain existing bindings and also learn any new address bindings discovered on the port until the new limit is reached. This limit only applies to IPv4 addresses and is independent of the nd_bindings_limit used for IPv6 snooping. |
int | Minimum: 1 Maximum: 256 Default: "1" |
| arp_nd_binding_timeout | ARP and ND cache timeout (in minutes) This property controls the ARP and ND cache timeout period.It is recommended that this property be greater than the ARP/ND cache timeout on the VM. |
int | Minimum: 5 Maximum: 120 Default: "10" |
| arp_snooping_enabled | Indicates whether ARP snooping is enabled | boolean | Default: "True" |
| description | Description of this resource | string | Maximum length: 1024 Sortable |
| dhcp_snooping_enabled | Indicates whether DHCP snooping is enabled | boolean | Default: "True" |
| dhcpv6_snooping_enabled | Indicates if stateful DHCPv6 snooping is enabled This option is the IPv6 equivalent of DHCP snooping. |
boolean | Default: "False" |
| display_name | Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set |
string | Maximum length: 255 Sortable |
| duplicate_ip_detection | Controls whether duplicate IP detection should be enabled Duplicate IP detection is used to determine if there is any IP conflict with any other port on the same logical switch. If a conflict is detected, then the IP is marked as a duplicate on the port where the IP was discovered last. The duplicate IP will not be added to the realized address binings for the port and hence will not be used in DFW rules or other security configurations for the port. |

| id | Unique identifier of this resource | string | Sortable |
| nd_bindings_limit | Number of IP addresses to be snooped via neighbor-discovery(ND) snooping Indicates the number of neighbor-discovery snooped IP addresses to be remembered per LogicalPort. Decreasing this value, will retain the latest bindings from the existing list of address bindings. Increasing this value will retain existing bindings and also learn any new address bindings discovered on the port until the new limit is reached. This limit only applies to IPv6 addresses and is independent of the arp_bindings_limit used for IPv4 snooping. |
int | Minimum: 2 Maximum: 15 Default: "3" |
| nd_snooping_enabled | Indicates if neighbor discovery snooping is enabled This option is the IPv6 equivalent of ARP snooping. |
boolean | Default: "False" |
| required_capabilities | array of string | Readonly | |
| resource_type | Must be set to the value IpDiscoverySwitchingProfile | string | Required |
| tags | Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user | array of Tag | Maximum items: 30 |
| trust_on_first_use_enabled | Controls whether trust-on-first-use should be enabled ARP snooping being inherently susceptible to ARP spoofing, uses a turst-on-fisrt-use (TOFU) paradigm where only the first IP address discovered via ARP snooping is trusted. The remaining are ignored. In order to allow for more flexibility, we allow the user to configure how many ARP snooped address bindings should be trusted for the lifetime of the logical port. This is controlled by the arp_bindings_limit property in the IP Discovery profile. We refer to this extension of TOFU as N-TOFU. However, if TOFU is disabled, then N ARP snooped IP addresses will be trusted until they are timed out, where N is configured by arp_bindings_limit. |
boolean | Default: "True" |
| vm_tools_enabled | Indicates whether fetching IP using vm-tools is enabled This option is only supported on ESX where vm-tools is installed. |
boolean | Default: "True" |
| vm_tools_v6_enabled | Indicates whether fetching IPv6 addresses using vm-tools is enabled This option is only supported on ESX where vm-tools is installed. |
boolean | Default: "False" |
