infoblox_ipv4_network Resource

This resource enables you to perform create, update, and delete operations on IP networks. Network resources support the next available network feature by using the allocate_prefix_len parameter listed in the below table.

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

Parameter	Required/ Optional	Description
`network_view`	Optional	Specifies the network view in which to create the network. The default value is `default`.
`cidr`	Required only if `parent_cidr` is not set	Specifies the network block to use for the network, in CIDR notation. Do not use the IPv4 CIDR for IPv6 network and vice versa.
`parent_cidr`	Required only if `cidr` is not set	Specifies the network container from which the network 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` is set	It defines the length of the network part of the address for a network that should be allocated from a network container, which in turn is determined by `parent_cidr`.
`gateway`	Optional	It defines the IP address of the gateway within the network block. For more information, see Limitations.
`ext_attrs`	Optional	Specifies the set of NIOS extensible attributes that will be attached to the network.

Additionally, define the following parameter for the infoblox_ipv4_network resource:

Parameter

Required/
Optional

Description

reserve_ip

Optional

Specifies the number of IPv4 addresses that you want to reserve in the IPv4 network.
The default value is 0.

Note

Either cidr or the combination of parent_cidr and allocate_prefix_len is required. The rest of the parameters are optional.
Once a network object is created, the reserve_ip and gateway fields cannot be edited.
IP addresses that are reserved by setting the reserve_ip field are used for network maintenance by the cloud providers. Therefore, Infoblox does not recommend using these IP addresses for other purposes.

Examples of the Network Block
