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 Infobloxinfoblox_ip_association resource for allocation of IP addresses. For more information, see IP Address Association. |
| 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({})
