network : DHCP Network object.

When DHCP services are configured on an appliance, the network that it serves must be defined. After a network is created, you can either create all the subnets individually, or create a parent network that encompasses the subnets.

Object Reference

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

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

Example: network/5ldHdvcmskMTEuMC4:10.0.0.0/8/external

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:

Type

String.

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

Using a network or network container WAPI reference:

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

Using a 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:network/ZG54dfgsrDFEFfsfsLzA:10.0.0.0/8/default,16
  • func:nextavailablenetwork:10.0.0.0/8,16
  • func:nextavailablenetwork:10.0.0.0/8,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.

pxe_lease_time

pxe_lease_time

The PXE lease time value of a DHCP Network object. Some hosts use PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) to boot remotely from a server. To better manage your IP resources, set a different lease time for PXE boot requests. You can configure the DHCP server to allocate an IP address with a shorter lease time to hosts that send PXE boot requests, so IP addresses are not leased longer than necessary.

Function Calls

expand_network

This function reduces the subnet masks of a network by joining all networks that fall under it. All the ranges and fixed addresses of the original networks are reparented to the new joined network. Any network containers that fall inside the bounds of the joined network are removed. The member assignments for all the encompassed networks are joined together. The default router, broadcast address, and subnet mask overrided from the joined network, including the ranges and fixed addresses, are all cleaned up.

This function does not support multiple object matches when called as part of an atomic insertion operation.

Input fields

auto_create_reversezone ( Bool. ) Determines whether or not to automatically create reverse-mapping zones.

option_delete_ea ( String. Valid values are: “RETAIN”, “REMOVE” ) The option to be applied on deleted networks with existing extensible attribute.

prefix ( Unsigned integer. ). This parameter is mandatory. The netmask of the networks after the expand operation.

Output fields

network ( String. ) The reference to the resulting network that is created after the expand operation.

num ( Unsigned integer. ) The number of IP addresses you are requesting.

Output fields

ips ( String array. ) The requested IP addresses.

next_available_network

This function will retrieve the next available network in the network.

This function does not support multiple object matches when called as part of an atomic insertion operation.

Input fields

cidr ( Unsigned integer. ) The CIDR of the requested network(s). This is a required parameter.

exclude ( String array. ) An array of networks you want to exclude from the results.

num ( Unsigned integer. ) The number of networks you are requesting.

Output fields

networks ( String array. ) The requested network(s).

next_available_vlan

This function retrieves the next available VLANs for network to assign by given VLAN View/Range as parent.

This function supports multiple object matches when called as part of an atomic insertion operation.

Input fields

exclude ( String array. ) A list of VLAN IDs to exclude.

num ( Unsigned integer. ) The number of VLANs you are requesting.

Output fields

resize

This function will resize the current network.

This function does not support multiple object matches when called as part of an atomic insertion operation.

Input fields

auto_create_reversezone ( Bool. ) Determines whether or not to automatically create reverse-mapping zones.

prefix ( Unsigned integer. ). This parameter is mandatory. The netmask of the network after resizing.

reason ( String. ) The reason for resizing the network.

send_rir_request ( Bool. ) Determines if it is required to send a request to update RIR registration.

Output fields

None

split_network

This function will split the current network into multiple smaller networks.

This function does not support multiple object matches when called as part of an atomic insertion operation.

Input fields

add_all_subnetworks ( Bool. ) If this flag is True, then all possible subnets will be added. Otherwise, only networks with fixed addresses will be added.

auto_create_reversezone ( Bool. ) Determines whether or not to automatically create reverse-mapping zones for the subnets.

inherit_attributes ( Bool. ) Determines if extensible attributes from the pre-split network will be inherited by the resulting networks.

prefix ( Unsigned integer. ). This parameter is mandatory. The appropriate subnet mask for each subnet created after splitting the network.

Output fields

None

Search-only Fields

These fields are used only for searching. They are not actual members of the object and therefore the server does not return these fields with this name unless they are nested return fields.

contains_address

contains_address

When specified in searches, the returned network is the smallest network that contains this IPv4 Address.

If specified, all other search attributes are ignored, except for network_view.

Type

String.

Search

The field is available for search via

  • ‘=’ (exact equality)

Notes

contains_address is a search-only field.

member

member

Used for searching networks by members that serve the network. The input value must be “dhcpmember,ipv4address[,name]” to search by Grid DHCP member by its IPv4 address, or “ipv6dhcpmember,ipv6address[,name]” to search by Grid DHCP member by its IPv6 address, or “msdhcpserver,ipv4address” to search by Microsoft DHCP server.

Type

String.

Search

The field is available for search via
