Specifies the name of the operation: reserve-ip-range

Yes

<target>

Contains the following elements:

  • <host>
  • <user-name>
  • <password>

<host>

Specifies the host name (fully qualified domain name) or IP address of the Infoblox Grid Manager

Valid value: Any string

Conditional:

  • Required if not specified in the configuration
  • If specified in the configuration and request, the value in the request overrides the value in the configuration

<user-name>

Specifies the user name required to connect to the Infoblox Grid Manager

Valid value: Any string

Conditional:

  • Required if not specified in the configuration
  • If specified in the configuration and request, the value in the request overrides the value in the configuration

<password>

Specifies the password that corresponds to <user-name>

The <password> element can contain an encryption-type attribute (the Encryption Type field on the form in the form view) that specifies whether the password is encrypted.

Valid value for <password>: Any string

Default value: 60 seconds

No

<parameters>

Contains the elements required to execute the operation

Yes

<network>

Specifies the network or subnetwork in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format in which the IP range is to be created and reserved

Yes

<start-address>

Specifies the start address of the range to be reserved

Conditional; required if you specify an IPv4 network

<end-address>

Specifies the end address of the range to be reserved

Conditional; required if you specify an IPv4 network

<ipv6-start-prefix>

Specifies the start prefix of the IPv6 range

Conditional; required if you specify an IPv6 network

<ipv6-end-prefix>

Specifies the end prefix of the IPv6 range

Conditional; required if you specify an IPv6 network

<ipv6-prefix-bits>

Specifies the prefix bits of the IPv6 range that are used to specify the network

Conditional; required if you specify an IPv6 network

<template>

Specifies a template to be used to create the IP range

No

<name>

Specifies a name for the range

No

<disable>

Marks the network as disabled

Valid values: true, false (default)

<comment>

Specifies a user comment for the created range

Valid value: Any string

No

<failover-association>

Specifies the failover association for the created range

Note: Specify either the <failover-association> element or the <grid-member-address> element. If you specify both the elements, <failover-association> takes precedence.

No

<grid-member-address>

Specifies the IP address of the grid member for the created range

Note: Specify either the <failover-association> element or the <grid-member-address> element. If you specify both the elements, <failover-association> takes precedence.

No

<recycle-leases>

Specifies the retention duration for leases

If <recycle-leases> is enabled, the leases are kept in the Recycle Bin until one week after expiration.
If <recycle-leases> is disabled, the leases are irrecoverably deleted.

<recycle-leases> is applicable when <grid-member-address> is specified for a particular IPv6 range.

Valid values: true, false

No

<lease-settings>

Contains the following elements:

  • <lease-time>
  • <routers>
  • <domain-name>
  • <broadcast-address>
  • <dns-servers>

No

<lease-time>

Specifies the lease time of an IP address to a DHCP client

The <lease-time> element is valid only if you specify <failover-association> or <grid-member-address>.

No

<routers>

Specifies the comma-separated IP addresses of routers

Example: 10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2

The <routers> element is valid only if you specify <failover-association> or <grid-member-address>.

No

<domain-name>

Specifies the name of the domain for which the server serves DHCP data

The <domain-name> element is valid only if you specify <failover-association> or <grid-member-address>.

No

<broadcast-address>

Specifies the broadcast IP address of the network to which the DHCP server is attached

The <broadcast-address> element is valid only if you specify <failover-association> or <grid-member-address>.

No

<dns-servers>

Specifies the comma-separated list of DNS servers to which this network is to be connected

No

<extensible-attributes>

Contains the <attribute> element

No

<attribute>

Contains a key-value pair designated by the <key> and <value> elements that contain location-specific information for the network, such as building, site, and so on

Multiple instances of <attribute> are permitted.

Example:

<extensible-attributes>
  <attribute>
    <key>Building</key>
    <value>test</value>
  </attribute>
  <attribute>
    <key>Floor</key>
    <value>4</value>
  </attribute>
</extensible-attributes>

No
