infoblox_ipv6_network_container Resource

This network container resource, enables you to create, update, or delete a network container in a NIOS appliance.

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

Parameter	Required/ Optional	Description
`network_view`	Optional	Specifies the network view in which to create the network container. If a value is not specified, `default` will be used as the network view name.
`cidr`	Required only if `parent_cidr` is not set	Specifies the network block to use for the network container. Do not use an IPv4 CIDR for an IPv6 network and an IPv6 CIDR for an IPv4 network.
`parent_cidr`	Required only if `cidr` is not set	Specifies the network container from which the next available network container must be dynamically allocated. The network container must exist in the NIOS database, but not necessarily as a Terraform resource.
`allocate_prefix_len`	Required only if `parent_cidr` or `filter_params` is set	Defines the length of the network part of the address for a network container that should be allocated from a parent network container, which in turn is determined by `parent_cidr`or `filter_params`.
`filter_params`	Optional	Specifies the extensible attributes of the parent network container that must be used as filters to retrieve the next available network for creating the network container object.
`comment`	Optional	Describes the network container.
`ext_attrs`	Optional	Specifies the set of NIOS extensible attributes that will be attached to the network container.

Note

Either cidr, the combination of parent_cidr and allocate_prefix_len, or the combination of filter_params and allocate_prefix_len is required. The rest of the parameters are optional.
Once the network container is created, the network_view, cidr, parent_cidr, allocate_prefix_len, and filter_params parameter values cannot be changed by performing an update operation.

Examples of the Network Container Resource

// statically allocated IPv6 network container, minimal set of parameters
resource "infoblox_ipv6_network_container" "v6net_c1" {
cidr = 2002:1f93:0:1::/96
}

// full set of parameters for statically allocated IPv6 network container
resource "infoblox_ipv6_network_container" "v6net_c2" {
cidr = 2002:1f93:0:2::/96 // you may allocate the same IP address range but in another network view
network_view = "nondefault_netview"
comment = "new generation network segment"
ext_attrs = jsonencode({
"Site" = "space station"
"Country" = "Earth orbit"
})
}

// full set of parameters for dynamic allocation of network containers
resource "infoblox_ipv6_network_container" "v6net_c3" {
parent_cidr = infoblox_ipv6_network_container.v6net_c2.cidr
allocate_prefix_len = 97
network_view = "infoblox_ipv6_network_container.v6net_c2.network_view"
comment = "dynamic allocation of network container"
ext_attrs = jsonencode({
"Tenant ID" = "terraform_test_tenant"
"Site" = "Test site"
})
