Infoblox IPAM Properties

This topic lists the Infoblox IPAM properties that are supported in a VMware Aria Automation Assembler deployment and their use cases in the following sections:

Supported Infoblox IPAM Properties

The following table provides descriptions of the Infoblox IPAM properties used for VMs:

Property

Description

Property

Description

Infoblox.IPAM.createHostRecord

If TRUE, only the host record is created.

Infoblox.IPAM.createAddressRecord

If TRUE, the A record is created.

Infoblox.IPAM.createAddressAndPtrRecords

If TRUE, the PTR record which is associated with the A record is
created.

Infoblox.IPAM.createFixedAddress

If TRUE, the fixed address is created.

Infoblox.IPAM.createReservation

If TRUE, the reservation is created.

Infoblox.IPAM.restartIfNeeded

If TRUE, the DHCP service in NIOS is automatically restarted if this is required by NIOS configuration.
Enabling this property affects DHCP records: fixed addresses, reservations, and host records with the Enable DHCP option turned on. If you create address and PTR records, enabling this property has
no effect.
For a list of operations requiring a DHCP service restart, see Operations Requiring Service Restart.

Infoblox.IPAM.NetworkX.aliases

List of aliases for the host record of network interface X in the FQDN
format.

Infoblox.IPAM.NetworkX.enableDhcp

Enables the DHCP flag for the host record of network interface X.

Infoblox.IPAM.NetworkX.enableDns

Enables the DNS flag for the host record of network interface X.

Infoblox.IPAM.NetworkX.Domain

Enables you to overwrite the domain DHCP option of network interface X.
This capability is useful if the domain DHCP option is not set for Infoblox network or if the domain DHCP option must be overwritten.

Infoblox.IPAM.NetworkX.dnsView

DNS view in which the host record or DNS record of network interface X will be created.
The DNS view property should contain DNS zones specified in the DHCP options of networks and ranges selected in the appropriate network profile. If the DNS view is not specified in the property group, by default, IPAM Plug-In generates the default DNS view value based on the template "default.<network view>". When the default network view is selected in the network profile or if the network view (the address space in the VMware Aria Automation terminology) is not specified, the default DNS view from NIOS will be used (typically associated with the default network view).

Infoblox.IPAM.NetworkX.msDhcpServer

Microsoft DHCP server for the fixed address of network interface X.

Infoblox.IPAM.NetworkX.comment

Comment for the record of network interface X.
