Create a network to use for operations with the Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware. vRealize Automation supports IPv4 networks. For more information, see the section Adding IPv4 Networks in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
After creating a DHCP network, set the IPv4 DHCP options for the network as described in the About IPv4 DHCP Options section of the Infoblox NIOS Documentation. Note that the IPv4 DHCP options can be used to store the network configuration information (such as the default gateway, netmask, and DNS) in NIOS both for statically allocated IP addresses and DHCP allocated addresses.
(Optional) Define the ranges of DHCP addresses from which you plan to allocate IP addresses through Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware. Also, define the DHCP options for the DHCP ranges. For information, see the Configuring IPv4 Address Ranges section in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
If you are using internal DNS servers, create the authoritative DNS zones to be used by the Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware. To create PTR records, you must set up a reverse DNS zone. Ensure that you associate the zones with networks. For information, see the Configuring DNS Zones section in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
(Optional) Set up the DHCP network templates that are used by Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware. For information, see the About IPv4 Network Templates section in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
In NIOS, create the definitions for extensible attributes for Create the extensible attribute definitions in NIOS for the IPAM object attributes that are used in the workflows of Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware.
