Create Network activity

The Create Network activity creates new networks on a specified Infoblox server.

The network activities use the REST web service activity template to manage network addresses using an Infoblox DDI Grid Server. These activities are configured to use a MID Server with REST capabilities.

To access this activity in the Workflow Editor, select the Custom tab, and then navigate to Custom Activities > Infoblox DDI > Network.

NetworkOptions

</td><td>

The NetworkOptions array contains these attributes:- reference: Reference value for the network requested. This value is in the form of network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTAuMS4wLjAvMTYvMA:10.1.0.0%2F1 - options: The options array contains these attributes: - name: Name of the network option returned, such as domain-name-server. - num: Index number of the option. For example, the index for domain-name-server is 6. - use_option: Indicates whether a DHCP option is used at that level in the network heirarchy. Set this value to True to override the Grid Level DHCP option with this option at the network level. - value: Value to use for this option. For example, the value for the domain-name-server option is the IP address of the server machine. - vendor_class: The class of the network object. The options are DHCP, DNS, or IPAM.
