Reserve IP in Range Workflow

Owned by Panna .
Oct 27, 2017

Use the Reserve IP in range workflow to allocate an IPv4 or IPv6 address within a specific DHCP address range to a virtual machine on your network. When you use this workflow, the NIOS appliance obtains the next available IP address within the defined address range and creates the specified IPAM records. Note that allocating the next available IP address and creating a host record with it is performed by a single addHostInRange action within this workflow.

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

Using the Reserve IP in range workflow, you can assign extensible attributes to the created objects.
