| _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. |

| _self | Link to this resource | SelfResourceLink | Readonly |
| _system_owned | Indicates system owned resource | boolean | Readonly |
| children | subtree for this type within policy tree subtree for this type within policy tree containing nested elements. |

| description | Description of this resource | string | Maximum length: 1024 Sortable |
| display_name | Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set |
string | Maximum length: 255 Sortable |
| id | Unique identifier of this resource | string | Sortable |
| is_default | Flag to indicate if the transport zone is the default one Flag to indicate if the transport zone is the default one. Only one transport zone can be the default one for a given transport zone type. |
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" |
| nested_nsx | Flag to indicate if all transport nodes in this transport zone are connected through nested NSX. This flag should be set to true in nested NSX environment. When the "allow_changing_vdr_mac_in_use" property in the global config object RoutingGlobalConfig is false, this flag can not be changed if this transport zone is OVERLAY and the change will make any transport node in this transport zone to change the VDR MAC used in any host switch. When this flag is true and this transport zone is OVERLAY, all host switches in this transport zone will use the VDR MAC in the "vdr_mac_nested" property in the global config object RoutingGlobalConfig. |
boolean | Default: "False" |
| nsx_id | Transport Zone UUID on NSX-T Enforcement Point UUID of transport zone on NSX-T enforcement point. |
string | Readonly |
| origin_id | The host switch id generated by the system. This field is populated only if the transport zone was created by NSX system to support security on vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS). The origin_id will refer to the identifier of corresponding vDS from it's parent vCenter server. |
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 PolicyTransportZone | string | |

array of string | |
| tz_type | Transport Zone Type Transport Zone Traffic type, must be one of either VLAN_BACKED or OVERLAY_BACKED. OVERLAY_STANDARD, OVERLAY_ENS and UNKNOWN are DEPRECATED. STANDARD, ENS and ENS_INTERRUPT are hostSwitch modes and same need to be given in HostTransportNode.HostSwitchSpec. |
string | Enum: OVERLAY_STANDARD, OVERLAY_ENS, VLAN_BACKED, OVERLAY_BACKED, UNKNOWN |
| 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 |
| uplink_teaming_policy_names | Names of the switching uplink teaming policies that are supported by this transport zone. The names of switching uplink teaming policies that all transport nodes in this transport zone support. Uplinkin teaming policies are only valid for VLAN backed transport zones. |
