IPAM Integrator

The following table provides an overview of the significant changes up to this current release. The table does not provide an exhaustive list of all changes or of the new features up to this release.

The IPAM Integrator allows read-only access to the IPAM and NDFC servers. Currently, IPv4 overlay DHCP is supported. In read-only access mode, IPAM records are retrieved and mapped to NDFC networks in Easy Fabric and eBGP VXLAN fabric. You can also choose to sync up records on-demand between NDFC and IPAM server. An Infoblox user who has the API permission and at least IPv4 network read permission of IPAM will be able to view the retrieved Infoblox records.

In addition to the matched subnets that exist on both IPAM server and NDFC, the IPAM Integrator lists the subnets with conflicting netmask for review.

This procedure shows how to access IPAM integrator.

Network IP Scope is the landing page after you access the IPAM Integrator.

The following table describes the fields retrieved from the IPAM server.

The following table describes the fields retrieved from NDFC.

Field	Description
Fabric Name	Specifies the name of the fabric.
Fabric Type	Specifies the type of the fabric. It can be Multi-Site Domain (MSD), or a standalone easy fabric or an eBGP VXLAN fabric.
Network Name	Specifies the name of the network.
VRF Name	Specifies the name of the VRF.
Network ID	Specifies the network ID.
VLAN ID	Specifies the VLAN ID.
Last Updated (by Infoblox)	Specifies the date and time when the data was last updated by Infoblox. The date and time of the last poll are displayed under the Network IP Scope title.

Click Export to export the data in a .csv file.

For each field, you can sort the values by clicking the arrow icons, and search by entering the search criterion in Filter by attributes box.

The polling of data is based on the following criteria:

To view the summary data for the utilization of the IP Subnet over a time, navigate to the following path.

To view the statistics for the utilization of the IP Subnet over a time, navigate to the following paths.

Click the drop-down list and select the time for which you want to view the statistics. These statistics include utilization of subnet such as DHCP allocations, total allocations, dynamic allocations, and static allocations.

To view the IP allocation for each host, navigate to the following paths.

The following fields are displayed for each host in the IP Allocation window. The data for these fields is retrieved from the IPAM server.

The Switch:Port and Fabric Name are retrieved through NDFC EPL (Endpoint Locator) integration. Their values are empty if EPL feature is not enabled.

For each field, you can sort the values by clicking the arrow icons, and search by entering the search criterion in Filter by attributes box.

By default, information about only active hosts are displayed. Click the All value to view information about all hosts retrieved from the IPAM server. Click Export to export the data in a .csv file.

Hosts that were recently freed show as "FREE" in the All tab. All the originally free hosts won’t be shown as FREE. Only the hosts that were recently freed appear in this tab.

IPAM Integrator detects conflicting networks defined in IPAM server and NDFC. You can view this info by clicking Conflicting in the Network IP Scope window.

For example, if one network is a subset of another, the conflicting IP addresses of the network are displayed under Conflicting.

The data is displayed similar to how the Matched data is displayed. You can click the IP range value under the IP Range column to view the IP allocation for each host.

Note that this table also lists the NDFC Gateway for the conflicting IP scopes in addition to the subnet information from the IPAM server.

For each field, you can sort the values by clicking the arrow icons, and search by entering the search criterion in Filter by attributes box.
