fqdn

Required

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

network_view

Optional

Specifies the Network view to use when allocating an IP address from a network dynamically. 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 default DNS view is considered.

dns_view_name

ttl

Optional

Specifies the time to live value for the record. There is no default value for this parameter. If you do not specify a value, the TTL value is inherited from Grid DNS properties. A TTL value of 0 (zero) means caching should be disabled for this record.

600

static record #1

ext_attrs

Optional

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

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

the 

  • the cidr field. Optionally, set the network_view if you do not want to allocate in

the 

  • the default

 network

  •  network view.

91.84.20.6

cidr

Required only for dynamic allocation

Specifies the network from which to allocate an IP address when

Note

Note

All parameters

except 

except fqdn are optional. If you do not specify

the 

the ip_addr parameter, you must use the cidr parameter for dynamic address allocation.
cidr

 and 

 and ip_addr are mutually exclusive. Specify a custom network view

with 

with cidr

 if

 if you do not want to use the default network view.
