NOTE When the Task completes, the new network is represented in the EdgeGateway by a GatewayInterface
whose InterfaceType is Internal. Unlike the Uplink interface that you create when you create an
EdgeGateway, an internal interface cannot be created explicitly. It is created only as a side-effect of creating a
routed organization vDC network.
