Use this object type to define parameters for each IP address in an IPv4 host record. The appliance updates an existing host address when you use the "add" mode in an import. For information about host records, refer to the Infoblox Administrator Guide.

Examples

This section contains examples of how to create data files for host addresses. All examples use comma as the separator. You can use other supported separators, such as semicolon, space, or tab.

Adding an IPv4 Host Address

This example shows how to import the host address 100.0.0.1 in host record h1.corp100.com with a MAC address, enabled DHCP, and a domain name.
header-hostaddress,parent*,address*,mac_address,configure_for_dhcp,domain_name hostaddres,h1.corp100.com,100.0.0.1,aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa,TRUE,corp200.com

This example shows how to import the host address 100.0.0.2 in host record h2.corp100.com with a MAC address, and two routers with addresses 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2.
header-hostaddress,parent*,address*,mac_address,configure_for_dhcp,routers hostaddress,h2.corp100.com,100.0.0.2,bb:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa,False,1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2

Overwriting IPv4 Host Address Data

This example shows how to overwrite the MAC address and domain name of a host address, and to set configure DHCP to TRUE.
header-hostaddress,parent*,address*,mac_address,configure_for_dhcp,domain_name hostaddress,h1.corp100.com,100.0.0.1,cc:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa,FALSE,corp300.com

This example shows how to overwrite the router address of a host address from 1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2 to 1.1.1.1.
header-hostaddress,parent*,address*,routers hostaddress,h2.corp100.com,100.0.0.2,1.1.1.1

Merging IPv4 Host Address Data

This example shows how to merge the following data of a host address: change a new address from 100.0.0.1 to 100.0.0.10, change bootp to DENY, and add lease time.
header-hostaddress,parent*,address*,_new_address,deny_bootp,lease_time hostaddress,h1.corp100.com,100.0.0.1,100.0.10,FALSE,3600

This example shows how to merge the broadcast address, PXE lease time, and enabled ignore option list to an IPv4 host address.
header-hostaddress,parent*,address*,broadcast_address,pxe_lease_time,ignore_dhcp_param
_request_list hostaddress,h2.corp100.com,100.0.0.2,6.6.6.6,1280,TRUE
