With the IP address association resources you can update host records created using the IP address allocation resources with details of VMs created in the cloud environment for those host records. The IP address association flow is a three-step process:
The IP address allocation resources allocate an IP address by creating a host record in NIOS.
The IP address is then assigned to the interface created in the cloud environment, and then a VM is created.
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 addressinfoblox_ipv4_association
: To allocate IPv4 addresses onlyinfoblox_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.
TheInfoblox_ipv4_association
andInfoblox_ipv6_association
resources have been deprecated and they will be removed in an upcoming release.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 theinfoblox_ip_association
resource only and notinfoblox_ipv4_association
orinfoblox_ipv6_association
resource in a .tf file.
