infoblox_aaaa_record Resource

An AAAA record resource associates a domain name with an IPv6 address.

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

Parameter	Required/ Optional	Description	Example Value
`fqdn`	Required	Specifies the fully qualified domain name to which you want to assign the IP address.	`host43.zone12.org`
`network_view`	Optional	Specifies the network view to use when allocating an IP address from a network dynamically. If a value is not specified, `default` will be used as the network view name. For static allocation, do not use this field.	`networkview_name`
`dns_view`	Optional	Specifies the DNS view in which the record’s zone exists. If a value is not specified, `default` will be used as the DNS view name.	`dns_view_name`
`ttl`	Optional	Specifies the Time to Live value for the record. There is no default value for this parameter. If a value is not specified, then in NIOS, the TTL value is inherited from the parent object of the DNS record for this resource. A TTL value of 0 (zero) means caching should be disabled for this record.	`600`
`comment`	Optional	Describes the record.	`static record #1`
`ext_attrs`	Optional	Specifies the set of NIOS extensible attributes that are attached to the record.	`jsonencode({})`

Additionally, define the following parameter for infoblox_aaaa_record resource:

Parameter

Required/
Optional

Description

Example Value

ipv6_addr

Required only for static allocation

Specifies the IPv6 address to associate with the AAAA record.

For allocating a static IP address, specify a valid IP address.
For allocating a dynamic IP address, Configure cidr instead of ipv6_addr. If both fields are configured, the value of cidr is ignored.
Instead. Optionally, set a network_view if you do not want to allocate it in the default network view.

2001:db8::ff00:42:8329

cidr

Required only for dynamic allocation

Specifies the network in the configured network view from which to allocate an IP address when the ipv6_addr field is empty.
The address is in CIDR format. For static allocation, Configure ipv6_addr instead of cidr.

2001::/64

Note

All parameters except fqdn are optional. If you do not specify the ipv6_addr parameter, you must use the cidr parameter for dynamic address allocation.
Specify a custom network view with cidr if you do not want to use the network view with the name default.
