To allocate DNS records such as A Record, PTR Record, and CNAME Record, it is mandatory to manually configure authoritative and reverse mapping zones in NIOS for the creation of these records. For more information, see /wiki/spaces/nios85draft/pages/26476927.
infoblox_a_record
For more information, see A record.
The following table describes the mandatory and optional parameters used for an A record.
| Sr No. | Parameter | Mandatory/Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | network_view_name | Optional | Specifies the network view name available in the NIOS appliance. |
| 2 | vm_name | Mandatory | Specifies the name of the virtual machine. |
| 3 | cidr | Mandatory | Specifies the address in cidr format. |
| 4 | zone | Mandatory | Specifies the zone under which the record has to be created. |
| 5 | dns_view | Mandatory | Specifies the DNS view under which the zone that has to be created. |
| 6 | ip_addr | Optional | Specifies the IP address of the instance in the cloud. For static allocation, set this field with a valid IP address. |
| 7 | vm_id | Optional | Specifies the instance ID. |
| 8 | tenant_id | Mandatory | Specifies the unique identifier of a tenant in the cloud. Tenant ID is the name of the cloud provider with which you want to integrate. However, if there is no cloud provider, you can specify any dummy value. The tenant ID differentiates the cloud providers in NIOS. For more information, see Viewing All Tenants. |
