nsxt_logical_switch

This resource provides a method to create a logical switch in NSX. Virtual machines can then be connected to the appropriate logical switch for the desired topology and network connectivity.

Example Usage

resource "nsxt_logical_switch" "switch1" {
  admin_state       = "UP"
  description       = "LS1 provisioned by Terraform"
  display_name      = "LS1"
  transport_zone_id = "${data.nsxt_transport_zone.transport_zone.id}"
  replication_mode  = "MTEP"

  tag {
    scope = "color"
    tag   = "blue"
  }

  switching_profile_id {
    key   = "${data.nsxt_switching_profile.qos_profiles.resource_type}"
    value = "${data.nsxt_switching_profile.qos_profiles.id}"
  }
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• transport_zone_id - (Required) Transport Zone ID for the logical switch.
• admin_state - (Optional) Admin state for the logical switch. Accepted values - 'UP' or 'DOWN'. The default value is 'UP'.
• replication_mode - (Optional) Replication mode of the Logical Switch. Accepted values - 'MTEP' (Hierarchical Two-Tier replication) and 'SOURCE' (Head Replication), with 'MTEP' being the default value. Applies to overlay logical switches.
• switching_profile_id - (Optional) List of IDs of switching profiles (of various types) to be associated with this switch. Default switching profiles will be used if not specified.
• display_name - (Optional) Display name, defaults to ID if not set.
• description - (Optional) Description of the resource.
• ip_pool_id - (Optional) Ip Pool ID to be associated with the logical switch.
• mac_pool_id - (Optional) Mac Pool ID to be associated with the logical switch.
• vlan - (Optional) Vlan for vlan logical switch. If not specified, this switch is overlay logical switch.
• vni - (Optional) Vni for the logical switch.
• address_binding - (Optional) List of Address Bindings for the logical switch. This setting allows to provide bindings between IP address, mac Address and vlan.
• tag - (Optional) A list of scope + tag pairs to associate with this logical switch.

Attributes Reference

In addition to arguments listed above, the following attributes are exported:

• id - ID of the logical switch.
• revision - Indicates current revision number of the object as seen by NSX-T API server. This attribute can be useful for debugging.

Importing

An existing X can be imported into this resource, via the following command:

terraform import nsxt_logical_switch.switch1 UUID

The above command imports the logical switch named switch1 with the NSX id UUID.
