network

When you create a virtual datacenter, the platform always creates a private network and it counts as part of your VLAN network allocation limits, even if the default network is another type of network.

The private network can be the "Automatically-created private VLAN", which is called "default_private_network", or a custom private network, which will be set as the default network.

If you are using NSX-T and the tenant may have more than one tier0 configuration, you may enter NSX-T parameters when you are creating a virtual datacenter.
