Excerpt

The following table describes the parameters you can define in the resource block of the record:

Parameter

Required/
Optional

Description

Example Value

fqdn

Required

Specifies the fully qualified domain name for to which you want to assign the IP address to.

host43.zone12.org

network_view

Optional

Specifies the Network network view to use when allocating an IP address from a network dynamically.
If a value is not specified, the name default is used for the network view. For static allocation, do not use this field.

networkview_name

dns_view

Optional

Specifies the DNS view in which the zone exists. If a value is not specified, the name default is used for DNS view is considered.

dns_view_name

ttl

Optional

Specifies the time Time to live Live value for the record. There is no default value for this parameter.
If you do not specify a value is not specified, then in NIOS, the TTL value is inherited from Grid DNS propertiesthe parent object of the DNS record for this resource. A TTL value of 0 (zero) means caching should be disabled for this record.

600

comment

Optional

Describes the record.

static record #1

ext_attrs

Optional

Set Specifies the set of NIOS extensible attributes that are attached to the record.

jsonencode({})

Additionally, define the following parameters for infoblox_a_record resource:

Parameter

Required/
Optional

Description

Example Value

ip_addr


Required only for static allocation

Specifies the IPv4 address to associate with the A record.

  • For allocating a static IP address, specify a valid IP address.

  • For allocating a dynamic IP address, do not use this field. Instead, define configure the cidr field instead of ip_addr. Optionally, set the specify a network_view if you do not want to allocate it in the the network view default network view.

91.84.20.6

cidr

Required only for dynamic allocation

Specifies the network from which to allocate an IP address when the ip_addr field is empty.
The address is in CIDR format. For static allocation, use ip_addr instead of this field cidr.

192.168.10.4/30

Note

Note

All parameters except fqdn are optional. If you do not specify the ip_addr parameter, you must use the cidr parameter for dynamic address allocation.
cidr and ip_addr are mutually exclusive. Specify a custom network view with cidr if you do not want to use the default network view.
