subnets

Array of strings

Specifies IDs of the subnets associated with this network. The IDs are in a list.

Only one subnet can be associated with each network.

name

String

Specifies the network name.

The name cannot be the same as the admin_external_net value (preset network name and cannot be used).

This parameter is not mandatory when you query networks.

provider:network_type

String

Specifies the network type.

Only the VXLAN and GENEVE networks are supported.

Tenants can only set this parameter to geneve. If this parameter is not specified, the network type is automatically set to VXLAN. If the network is preset as admin_external_net, this parameter is fixed at vlan and cannot be configured.

Note:

  • Set this parameter to geneve if you want to create GENEVE networks.

  • Do not specify this parameter if you want to create VXLAN networks.

Specifies whether the security option is enabled for the port. If the option is not enabled, the security group and DHCP snooping settings of all VMs in the network do not take effect.

This parameter is not displayed when an external network is called and the value of router:external is true. This parameter is visible when the value of router:external is false.
