An address space represents the entire network topology using a typical tree representation. The top nodes represent all address spaces in the current level and each node has further child nodes of all networks underneath it that are shown when you click on the entry. The bread crumbs at the top show the chain of all parent nodes of the current address space.

To view the list of address spaces, complete the following:

  1. From the Infoblox Portal, click Configure > Networking > IPAM/DHCP > Address Spaces.
  2. The application displays the following information:
  • ADDRESS / NAME: The name of the address space.
  • DESCRIPTION: Additional information about the address space.
  • UTILIZATION: The percentage of the total IPv4 DHCP utilization of the address space.

    • Red: The DHCP resources are utilized by 76%-100%.

    • Orange: The utilization percentage is between 51%-75%.

    • Green: The utilization percentage is between 0%-50%.

  • COMPARTMENT: The compartment that is associated with this address space. For more information, see Configuring Access Views. This feature is available only for users participating in the Early Access Program (EAP). For information about the EAP, visit Infoblox Early Access Program.
