ipv6networkcontainer : DHCP IPv6NetworkContainer object.

A network can contain child networks. The network that contains child networks is called a network container. This object encapsulates an IPv6 network container object.

Object Reference

References to ipv6networkcontainer are object references. The name part of a nc object reference has the following components:

  • Address of the network container
  • CIDR for the network container
  • Name of the network view

Example: ipv6networkcontainer/5ldHdvcmskMTEuMC4:abcd%3A%3A/80/external

Restrictions

The object does not support the following operations:

  • CSV export

Fields

These fields are actual members of the object; thus, they can be requested by using _return_fields, if the fields are readable.

The basic version of the object contains the field(s): comment, network, network_view.

The following fields are required to create this object:

network

network

The network address in IPv6 Address/CIDR format. For regular expression searches, only the IPv6 Address portion is supported. Searches for the CIDR portion is always an exact match.

For example, both network containers 16::0/28 and 26::0/24 are matched by expression ‘.6’ and only 26::0/24 is matched by ‘.6/24’.

Type

String.

The field also supports automatic selection of the next available network with selected CIDR in the specified IPv6 network or network container. You can specify the IPv6 network or network container in the following ways:

Using a IPv6 network or network container WAPI reference:

  • func:nextavailablenetwork:<reference>,<CIDR>

Using a IPv6 network lookup (if the view is not specified, the default view will be used):

  • func:nextavailablenetwork:<network>[,<network view>],<CIDR>

Scheduled and approval operations are not supported when using the automatic network selection.

If you specify a network view for automatic network selection, you should also add a network_view field in the object to be inserted with the same network view because the network view for automatic network selection is not used for the actual object insertion.

NOTE: Automatic selection is supported only for JSON and XML requests.

Examples:

  • func:nextavailablenetwork:ipv6network/ZG54dfgsrDFEFfsfsLzA:1000::/8/default,16
  • func:nextavailablenetwork:1000::/8,16
  • func:nextavailablenetwork:1000::/8,external,16

This field can also be retrieved from a function call as part of an object insertion. The supported function calls for this field are:

To find out if the function can be called when _object_parameters matches multiple objects, see the function documentation.

The default parameters are passed to the specified function call and can be overridden by passing different values for the same parameter in _parameters.

To execute the function call, a dictionary must be set in this field with the following parameters:

Mandatory Name Comment
Y _object_function The name of the function.
Y _result_field The field in which the function returns its result.
See comment _object The WAPI object type on which the function calls. Either _object or _object_ref must be set.
See comment _object_ref A WAPI object reference on which the function calls. Either _object or _object_ref must be set.
N _parameters The parameters to be passed to the function.
See comment _object_parameters The parameters used for the object search, mandatory if _object is set.

As part of the insertion, the object identified by _object and _object_parameters will be fetched, and the function identified by _object_function will be called with the parameters specified in _parameters. The result of this function will be retrieved and the field of this function specified in _result_field will be extracted and used as the value for this field.

Note that if the function call returns a list, and the field requires a single value, the first value on the list will be used.

The following example uses a value for the ‘next_available_ip’ field in the 9.0.0.0/8 network, excluding IP addresses 9.0.0.1 and 9.0.0.2:

{
    '_object_function': 'next_available_ip',
    '_parameters': {
        'exclude': ['9.0.0.1', '9.0.0.2'],
    },
    '_result_field': 'ips',
    '_object': 'network',
    '_object_parameters': {
        'network': '9.0.0.0/8',
        'network_view': 'newdefaultnv',
    }
}

Note this function call might not be valid for this particular field, this is just an example.
