          description: 'The listen address of the forward

            For OVN networks only, you can dynamically allocate the listen address from a pre-defined range.

            To do so for an IPv4 address, provide a listen_address of `0.0.0.0`.

            For an IPv6 address, provide a listen_address of `::`.

            These are equivalent to the `allocate=ipv{4|6}` flag used to create a network forward via the CLI.'
