Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 Reservations

You can create a reservation as a static IP address for future use. Since these are not real MAC addresses, no client can receive these IP addresses from the address pool. You can reserve these static IP addresses and assign them to clients in the future. Universal DDI will track the IP addresses that are owned and managed by the NIOS-X Servers. These IP addresses are represented in IPAM as Reservations.

To view the list of reservations, complete the following:

From the Infoblox Portal, click Configure > Networking > IPAM/DHCP > Address Spaces.
Click IP Space > Address Block > corresponding Subnet. The subnet displays the list of addresses configured for reservations.
The application displays the following information:

ADDRESS/NAME: The IP address within the subnet.
DESCRIPTION: Additional information about the reservation.
USAGE: The type of object for which this address is being configured.

To view the lease usage and state of the address range in the visualization view, click the Visualization icon at the top navigation bar. The Infoblox Portal displays the following lease information:

Select/Deselect All: Click this check box to select all the following options or deselect all the options.
Abandoned: These are IP addresses that Universal DDI cannot lease to any devices. The client reports that an IP address has been declined, meaning the client has detected the IP address is in use for any reason and has reported it to the server.
DNS: These are IP addresses configured for DNS use.
Active Lease: These are IP addresses that are currently in use for any reason by a DHCP client.
Conflict (red): These are IP addresses that have either a MAC address conflict or a DHCP lease conflict.
