infoblox_ipv6_association

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 DUID and VM tags as extensible attributes.

Note

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_ipv6_association resource block, which is used for updating the properties of virtual machines.

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 infoblox_ipv6_association:

Parameter

Required/Optional

Description

Example Value

duid

Required

It specifies the DHCPv6 Unique Identifier (DUID) of the address object.

0c:c0:84:d3:03:00:09:12

Example of the Resource Block

As the IP address association operation is dependent on the allocation operation, the following examples for IPv6 addresses demonstrate how to define the resource blocks in the Terraform configuration file:

resource "infoblox_ipv6_allocation" "ipv6_allocation" {
network_view= "default"
cidr = infoblox_ipv6_network.ipv6_network.cidr

#Create Host Record with DNS and DHCP flags
dns_view="default"
fqdn="testipv6.aws.com"
enable_dns = "true"

comment = "tf IPv6 allocation"
ext_attrs = jsonencode({
"Tenant ID" = "tf-plugin"
"Cloud API Owned" = "True"
"CMP Type"= "AWS"
"Network Name" = "ipv6-tf-network"
"VM Name" = "tf-ec2-instance-ipv6"
"Location" = "Test loc."
"Site" = "Test site"
})
}

resource "infoblox_ipv6_association" "ipv6_associate"{
network_view = infoblox_ipv6_allocation.ipv6_allocation.network_view
ip_addr = infoblox_ipv6_allocation.ipv6_allocation.ip_addr
duid = aws_network_interface.ni.mac_address

#Create Host Record with DNS and DHCP flags
dns_view=infoblox_ipv6_allocation.ipv6_allocation.dns_view
fqdn=infoblox_ipv6_allocation.ipv6_allocation.fqdn
enable_dns = infoblox_ipv6_allocation.ipv6_allocation.enable_dns
enable_dhcp = infoblox_ipv6_allocation.ipv6_allocation.enable_dhcp

comment = ""Associating of an IPv6 address""
ext_attrs = jsonencode({
"Tenant ID" = "tf-plugin"
"Cloud API Owned" = "True"
"CMP Type"= "AWS"
"Network Name" = "ipv6-tf-network"
"VM Name" = "tf-ec2-instance-ipv6"
"VM ID" = aws_instance.ec2-instance.id
"Location" = "Test loc."
"Site" = "Test site"
})
}
