With the IP address operation resources you can update Host records created using the the IP address allocation resources  resources with details of VMs created in the cloud environment for those Host records. The IP address association flow is a three-step process:

  1. The IP address allocation resources allocate an IP address by creating a Host record in NIOS.

  2. The IP address is then assigned to the interface created in the cloud environment, and then a VM is created.

  3. Details of the VM are populated into the Host record in NIOS using the IP address association resource.

The resources available in the current version of Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for VMware are:

  • infoblox_ip_association: To allocate IPv4 and/or IPv6 address

  • infoblox_ipv4_association: To allocate IPv4 addresses only

  • infoblox_ipv6_association: To allocate IPv6 addresses only

Note

  • Infoblox strongly recommends that you use the infoblox_ip_association resource enhanced to provide better support for managing Host records created using the infoblox_ip_allocation resource.
    The Infoblox_ipv4_association and Infoblox_ipv6_association resources will be deprecated in an upcoming release and will not be supported.

  • If the IP address allocation operation was done using the infoblox_ip_allocation resource, for the IP address association operation, you are advised to use the infoblox_ip_association resource only and not infoblox_ipv4_association or infoblox_ipv6_association resource in a .tf file.
