Reserve IP address Workflow

Owned by Panna .
Last updated: Oct 29, 2017

The Reserve IP address workflow allows you to reserve a specified IPv4 or IPv6 address, create a host record, or create a DNS record for a host in NIOS. The workflow creates the specified IPAM records with the defined static IP address. Using the Reserve IP address workflow, you can assign extensible attributes to the IPAM objects that you create.

You can choose which IPAM object to create in this workflow:

  • Host record
  • A/AAAA record with or without an associated PTR record
  • CNAME records related to the created A/AAAA record

  • Fixed address or reservation
