The IPAM task pack contains the following tasks:

• Add Networks
• Add Hosts
• Add Fixed Addresses
• Add A Record
• Add CNAME Record
• Add TXT Record
• Add MX Record
• CSV Import

Depending on your administrative permissions and the Dashboard template configuration, Grid Manager displays tasks you can access in specific task packs. You can configure your task packs by adding or hiding certain tasks. For information about Dashboard templates, see Configuring Dashboard Templates.

For information about how to install licenses, see Managing Licenses.

...

Add Networks

...

You can create IPv4 and IPv6 networks from the Tasks Dashboard (either from scratch or from a network template that contains predefined properties). You can also create networks from the Data Management tab. For more information about IPv4 and IPv6 networks, see Configuring IPv4 Networks and Configuring IPv6 Networks.

...

You can also add and modify other information about the networks you just created. For information about modifying network information, see Managing IPv4 DHCP Data and Managing IPv6 DHCP Data.

...

Add Hosts

Host records provide a unique approach to the management of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM data. By using host records, you can manage multiple DNS records and DHCP and IPAM data collectively, as one object on the appliance. You can add IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to host records from the Tasks Dashboard or the Data Management tab. Note that when you add a host record from the Tasks Dashboard, they are configured only for DNS. For more information about Infoblox host records, see About Host Records.

...

You can also add and modify other information about the host records. For information about modifying host information, see About Host Records.

...

Add Fixed Addresses

You can add IPv4 and IPv6 fixed addresses from the Tasks Dashboard or from the Data Management tab. For more information about fixed addresses, see Configuring IPv4 Fixed Addresses and Configuring IPv6 Fixed Addresses.

...

You can also add and modify other information about the fixed addresses you just created. For more information about modifying fixed address information, see Managing IPv4 DHCP Dataand Managing IPv6 DHCP Data.

Add A Record

...

An A (address) record is a DNS resource record that maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. You can add an A record from the Tasks Dashboard or from the Data Management tab. For more information about managing A records, see Managing Resource Records.

...

1. Click Add A Record in the IPAM task pack and complete the following in the Add A Record wizard:
2. In the Add A Record wizard, do the following:
   • Name: If Grid Manager displays a zone name, enter the hostname that you want to map to an IP address. The displayed zone name can either be the last selected zone or the zone from which you are adding the host record. If no zone name is displayed or if you want to specify a different zone, click Select Zone. When there are multiple zones, Grid Manager displays the Zone Selector dialog box. Click a zone name in the dialog box and then enter the hostname. The name you enter is prefixed to the DNS zone name that is displayed, and the complete name becomes the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) of the host. For example, if the zone name displayed is corpxyz.com and you enter admin, then the FQDN becomes admin.corpxyz.com. Ensure that the domain name you enter complies with the hostname restriction policy defined for the zone. To create a wildcard A record, enter an asterisk * in this field.
   • DNS View: This field displays the DNS view to which the DNS zone belongs.
   • Shared Record Group: This field appears only when you are creating a shared record from the Data Management tab. Click Select Shared Record Group. If you have only one shared record group, the appliance displays the name of the shared record group here. If you have multiple shared record groups, select the shared record group in the Shared Record Group Selector dialog box. You can use filters or the Go to function to narrow down the list.
   • Hostname Policy: Displays the hostname policy of the zone.
   • In the IP Addresses section, click the Add icon and do one of the following:
     • Select Add Address to enter the IPv4 address to which you want the domain name to map.
       or
     • Select Next Available IPv4 to retrieve the next available IP address in a network.
       If the A record is in zone that has associated networks, the Network Selector dialog box lists the associated networks. If the zone has no network associations, the Network Selector dialog box lists the available networks. When you select a network, Grid Manager retrieves the next available IP address in that network.
     • Comment: Optionally, enter additional information about the A record.
     • Create associated PTR record: Select this option to automatically generate a PTR record that maps the specified IP address to the hostname. To create the PTR record, the reverse-mapping zone must be in the database.
     • Disable: Select this checkbox to disable the record. Clear the checkbox to enable it.
3. Click Next to define extensible attributes. For information, see Managing Extensible Attributes.
4. Save the configuration or click the Schedule icon at the top of the wizard to schedule this task. For information about how to schedule a task, see Scheduling Tasks.
5. Click Restart if it appears at the top of the screen.

Add CNAME Record

...

A CNAME record maps an alias to a canonical name. You can use CNAME records in both IPv4 forward- and IPv4 reverse-mapping zones to serve two different purposes. (At this time, you cannot use CNAME records with IPv6 reverse-mapping zones.) For more information about CNAME records, seeManaging CNAME Records.

To add a CNAME record from the Tasks Dashboard:

...

Click Restart if it appears at the top of the screen.

...

...

Add TXT Record

A TXT (text record) record contains supplemental information for a host. For example, if you have a sales server that serves only North America, you can create a text record stating this fact. You can create more than one text record for a domain name. You can add a TXT record from the Tasks Dashboard or the Data Management tab. For more information about TXT records, see Managing TXT Records.

To add TXT records from the Tasks Dashboard:

...

2. Save the configuration, or click Next to define extensible attributes. For information, see Managing Extensible Attributes.
or
Click the Schedule icon at the top of the wizard to schedule this task. In the Schedule Change panel, click Later and enter a date, time, and time zone. For information, see Scheduling Tasks.

3. Click Restart if it appears at the top of the screen.

...

Add MX Record

...

An MX (mail exchanger) record maps a domain name to a mail exchanger. A mail exchanger is a server that either delivers or forwards mail. You can specify one or more mail exchangers for a zone, as well as the preference for using each mail exchanger. A standard MX record applies to a particular domain or subdomain. You can add an MX record from the Tasks Dashboard or the Data Management tab. For more information about MX records, see Managing MX Records.

CSV Import

You can access CSV Import Manager and perform CSV imports, manage import jobs, and view import status. You can perform CSV imports from the Task Dashboard and the Toolbar. You can also click CSV Import Manager, which allows for importing of data, managing import jobs, and viewing import status.
