With the IP address association operation, you can update the Host record created using the IP address allocation operation with details of the VM created in the cloud environment. The VM details include MAC address and VM tags as extensible attributes.

Note

The Infoblox_ipv4_allocation resource is deprecated and is not supported from Infoblox IPAM Plug-In version 2.3.0. Infoblox strongly recommends that you use

Infoblox

infoblox_ip_association resource for allocation of IP addresses

. The Infoblox_ipv4_allocation resource will be deprecated in an upcoming release

. For more information,

see 

see IP Address Association.

  • If you are not using other Terraform providers with the Infoblox provider to deploy virtual machines and allocate IP addresses from NIOS, then ignore the infoblox_ipv4_association resource block, which is used for updating the properties of virtual machines.
    • Excerpt

    The resource maps the IP address of a Host record created in NIOS to a VM, by MAC address.

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

    Parameter

    Required/Optional

    Description

    Example Value

    fqdn

    Required

    Specifies the name (in FQDN format) of a host with which an IP address needs to be associated.

    When enable_dns is set to true, specify the zone name along with the host name in format:
    <hostname>.<zone>.com
    Example: hostname1.zone.com

    When enable_dns is set to false, specify only the host name:
    <hostname>
    Example: hostname1

    ip-12-34-56-78.us-west-2.compute.internal

    network_view

    Optional

    Specifies the network view from which to get the specified network block. If a value is not specified, the default network view is considered.

    networkview_name

    dns_view

    Optional

    Specifies the DNS view in which to create the DNS resource records that are associated with the IP address. If a value is not specified, the default DNS view is considered.

    This parameter is relevant only if enable_dns is set to true.

    dns_view_name

    enable_dns

    Optional

    A flag that specifies whether DNS records associated with the resource must be created. The default value is true.

    true

    enable_dhcp

    Optional

    A flag that specifies whether to enable DHCP-related functionality for this resource. The default value is false.

    false

    ip_addr

    Required

    Specifies an IP address that must be associated (marked as ‘Used’ in NIOS Grid Manager).

    10.4.3.138

    ttl

    Optional

    Specifies the time to live value for the DNS record. This parameter is relevant only when enable_dns is to true.
    If a value is not specified, the value is same as that of the parent zone of the DNS records for this resource.

    3600

    comment

    Optional

    Describes the resource.

    Associating an IPv4 address.

    ext_attrs

    Optional

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

    jsonencode({})

    Additionally, define the following parameter for for infoblox_ipv4_association:

    Parameter

    Required/Optional

    Description

    Example Value

    mac_addr


    Optional

    It specifies the MAC address to associate the IP address with. The default value

    is 

    is 00:00:00:00:00:00.

    02:42:97:87:70:f9

    Example Example of the Resource Block

    As the IP address association operation is dependent on the allocation operation, the following examples for IPv4 demonstrate how to define the resource blocks in the Terraform configuration file:

    For an IPv4 address:

    resource "infoblox_ipv4_allocation" "ipv4_allocation"{
      network_view= "default"
      cidr = infoblox_ipv4_network.ipv4_network.cidr

      #Create Host Record with DNS and DHCP flags
      dns_view="default"
      fqdn="testipv4.aws.com"
      enable_dns = "true"
      # The VM network interface’s MAC address is used.
      comment = "Allocating an IP address"
      ext_attrs = jsonencode({
        "Tenant ID" = "tf-plugin"
        "Cloud API Owned" = "True"
        "CMP Type"= "AWS"
        "Site" = "Nevada"
      })
    }

    resource "infoblox_ipv4_association" "ipv4_associate"{
      network_view = infoblox_ipv4_network.ipv4_network.network_view
      dns_view=infoblox_ipv4_allocation.ipv4_allocation.dns_view
      ip_addr = infoblox_ipv4_allocation.ipv4_allocation.ip_addr
      fqdn=infoblox_ipv4_allocation.ipv4_allocation.fqdn
      enable_dns = infoblox_ipv4_allocation.ipv4_allocation.enable_dns
      enable_dhcp = infoblox_ipv4_allocation.ipv4_allocation.enable_dhcp
      mac_addr = aws_network_interface.ni.mac_address
      comment = "Associating of an IPv4 address"
      ext_attrs = infoblox_ipv4_allocation.ipv4_allocation.ext_attrs
    }
