A subnet is a block of IP addresses and associated configuration state. Subnets are used to allocate IP addresses when new ports are created on a network.

Additional parameters can be passed using this property. Default type of the extra property is string (‘str’), but other types can be used as well. Available types are: ‘dict’, ‘list’, ‘str’, ‘bool’, ‘int’. In case of ‘list’ type, ‘value’ can be semicolon-separated list of values. For ‘dict’ value is semicolon-separated list of the key:value pairs.
Owner’s project (name or ID)
Domain the project belongs to (name or ID). This can be used in case collisions between project names exist.
Subnet pool from which this subnet will obtain a CIDR (Name or ID)
Use ‘prefix-delegation’ if IP is IPv6 format and IP would be delegated externally
Use default subnet pool for –ip-version
Prefix length for subnet allocation from subnet pool
Subnet range in CIDR notation (required if –subnet-pool is not specified, optional otherwise)
Enable DHCP (default)
Disable DHCP
Enable publishing fixed IPs in DNS
Disable publishing fixed IPs in DNS (default)
Specify a gateway for the subnet. The three options are: <ip-address>: Specific IP address to use as the gateway, ‘auto’: Gateway address should automatically be chosen from within the subnet itself, ‘none’: This subnet will not use a gateway, e.g.: –gateway 192.168.9.1, –gateway auto, –gateway none (default is ‘auto’).
IP version (default is 4). Note that when subnet pool is specified, IP version is determined from the subnet pool and this option is ignored.
IPv6 RA (Router Advertisement) mode, valid modes: [dhcpv6-stateful, dhcpv6-stateless, slaac]
