Use the &APIv2; with the binding extended attributes to get information about, create, and update port objects. The binding-prefixed extended attributes for ports are:

Ports binding extended attributes

Attribute	Type	Required	CRUD C. Use the attribute in create operations. R. This attribute is returned in response to show and list operations. U. You can update the value of this attribute. D. You can delete the value of this attribute.	Default value	Validation constraints	Notes
binding:vnic_type	String	N/A	CRU	normal	(normal, direct, macvtap)	The vnic type to be bound on the neutron port. In &POST; and &PUT; operations, specify a value of normal (virtual nic), direct (pci passthrough), or macvtap (virtual interface with a tap-like software interface). These values support SR-IOV PCI passthrough networking. The ML2 plug-in supports the vnic_type. In &GET; operations, the binding:vnic_type extended attribute is visible to only port owners and administrative users.
binding:vif_type	String	N/A	R	None	N/A	Read-only. The vif type for the specified port. Visible to only administrative users.
binding:vif_details	list(dict)	N/A	R	None	N/A	Read-only. A dictionary that enables the application to pass information about functions that &APIv2; provides. Specify the following value: port_filter : Boolean to define whether &APIv2; provides port filtering features such as security group and anti-MAC/IP spoofing. Visible to only administrative users.
binding:host_id	uuid-str	N/A	CRU	None	N/A	The ID of the host where the port is allocated. In some cases, different implementations can run on different hosts. Visible to only administrative users.
binding:profile	list(dict)	N/A	CRU	None	N/A	A dictionary that enables the application to pass information about functions that the Networking API provides. To enable or disable port filtering features such as security group and anti-MAC/IP spoofing, specify port_filter: True or port_filter: False. Visible to only administrative users.
