The nsx header designation has the following format:
target:: nsxt {section_name} {inet|inet6|mixed} section-id securitygroup securitygroupId
section_name: specifies the name of the section all terms in this header apply to.
inet: specifies that the resulting filter should only render IPv4 addresses.
inet6: specifies that the resulting filter should only render IPv6 addresses.
mixed: specifies that the resulting filter should render both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
sectionId: specifies the Id for the section [optional]
securitygroup: specifies that the appliedTo should be security group [optional]
securitygroupId: specifies the Id of the security group [mandatory if securitygroup is given]
(Required keywords option and verbatim are not supported in NSX)
