The CIDR of the subnet.
...
allocationPools
...
M
...
0..N
...
KeyValue
...
Allocation pools with start and end IP addresses for this subnet. If allocation_pools are not specified, OpenStack Networking automatically allocates pools for covering all IP addresses in the CIDR, excluding the address reserved for the subnet gateway by default.
...
gatewayIp
...
M
...
0..1
...
String
...
Gateway IP of this subnet. If the value is null that implies no gateway is associated with the subnet. If the gateway_ip is not specified, OpenStack Networking allocates an address from the CIDR for the gateway for the subnet by default.
...
dhcpEnabled
...
M
...
0..1
...
Boolean
...
Indicates whether dhcp is enabled or disabled for the subnet. Default is true.
...
segmentationId
...
O
...
0..1
...
String
...
The ID of the isolated segment on the physical network. The network_typeattribute defines the segmentation model. For example, if the network_type value is vlan, this ID is a vlan identifier. If the network_type value is gre, this ID is a gre key.
...
networkType
...
M
...
0..1
...
Enum
...
The type of physical network that this network should be mapped to. For example, flat, vlan, vxlan, or gre. Valid values depend on a networking back-end.
...
physicalNetwork
...
M
...
0..1
...
String
...
The physical network where this network should be implemented. The Networking API v2.0 does not provide a way to list available physical networks. For example, the Open vSwitch plug-in configuration file defines a symbolic name that maps to specific bridges on each compute host
...
vlanTransparent
...
M
...
0..1
...
Boolean
...
Indicates the VLAN transparency mode of the network, which is VLAN transparent (true) or not VLAN transparent (false)
