Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
description -		Description
display_name string / required		Display name
host_switch_id string		The host switch id generated by the system.
host_switch_mode string		STANDARD mode applies to all the hypervisors. ENS mode stands for Enhanced Networking Stack. This feature is only available for ESX hypervisor. It is not available on KVM, EDGE and Public Cloud Gateway etc. When a Transport Zone mode is set to ENS, only Transport Nodes of type ESX can participate in such a Transport Zone.
host_switch_name string		If this name is unset or empty then the default host switch name will be used.
hostname string / required		Deployed NSX manager hostname.
is_default boolean		Only one transport zone can be the default one for a given transport zone type. APIs that need transport zone can choose to use the default transport zone if a transport zone is not given by the user.
nested_nsx boolean		The flag only need to be set in nested NSX environment.
password string / required		The password to authenticate with the NSX manager.
resource_type -		Selects the type of the transport zone profile
state - / required	Choices: present absent	State can be either 'present' or 'absent'. 'present' is used to create or update resource. 'absent' is used to delete resource.
tags Array of Tag		Opaque identifier meaningful to API user
transport_type string / required		The transport type of this transport zone.
transport_zone_profile_ids array of TransportZoneProfileTypeIdEntry		Identifiers of the transport zone profiles associated with this TransportZone.
uplink_teaming_policy_names list		The names of switching uplink teaming policies that all transport nodes in this transport zone must support. An exception will be thrown if a transport node within the transport zone does not support a named teaming policy. The user will need to first ensure all trasnport nodes support the desired named teaming policy before assigning it to the transport zone. If the field is not specified, the host switch's default teaming policy will be used.
username string / required		The username to authenticate with the NSX manager.
