Copying Address Blocks

You can copy a single address block or multiple address blocks from one IP space to another. This action allows you to copy the objects with all their settings and all the child objects without having to configure them one by one. An address block can only be copied into an existing IP space. Before copying an address block, make sure the target IP space is available. The source IP space and the target IP space must be different. 

To copy a single address block, complete the following:

• From the Infoblox Portal, click Configure > Networking > IPAM/DHCP > Address Spaces.

• Click on the IP Space to view the list of address blocks that are associated with it.

• Click ☰ > Copy for the object or select the object and click Create > Copy.

• Configure the following settings in the Copy dialog:
  • Address: The IP address is already pre-populated. 
  • Name: Specify a name for the copy.
  • Description: Specify a description.
  • Destination IP Space: Choose a destination IP space where the object is to be copied. 
  • Error Handling: Select Continue copying on error to copy the object even if there is an error. Select Stop copying on error to abort the copy if there is an error during the copy process. 
  • Copy all child objects: Select this check box to copy all the child objects. Clear this check box if you do not want the child objects copied. 
  • Copy DHCP Options configuration: Select the check box to copy the configuration for DHCP options from the source address block to the target address block.
• Click Save & Close to continue with the copy process. Click Cancel to cancel the copy process. 
• Refresh the page to view the result.
