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.
Input variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| InfobloxServer | Name of the Infoblox DDI Grid Server. |
| network | Address of the network to create. |
| restCredentials | The sys\_id of the REST credentials from the ServiceNow instance. |
| api\_version | Defines the version of WAPI to use for the integration endpoints. The default value is 2.0. Note: This field is mandatory. If the field is empty, the orchestration activity will fail. |
| view | Name of the Infoblox network view. The default value is default. Note: If the field is empty, the operation is treated as happening in the default view. |
Output variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| NetworkCreated | Address of the network created. |
| error | Displays the message for any REST error encountered. |
Conditions
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| Success | Activity successfully created the network. |
| Failure | Activity failed to create the network. |
Get Network Details activity
The Get Network Details activity retrieves the information about a specific network on an 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.
Input variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| InfobloxServer | Name of the Infoblox DDI Grid Server. |
| network | Address of the network whose details you want to see. |
| restCredentials | The sys\_id of the REST credentials from the ServiceNow instance. |
| api\_version | Defines the version of WAPI to use for the integration endpoints. The default value is 2.0. Note: This field is mandatory. If the field is empty, the orchestration activity will fail. |
| view | Name of the Infoblox network view. The default value is default. Note: If the field is empty, the operation is treated as happening in the default view. |
Output variables
The output variables from this activity are objects on the Infoblox server used to identify network details. For more information, refer to the Infoblox documentation.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| error | Displays the message for any REST error encountered. |
| NetworkOptions | 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. |
Conditions
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| Success | Activity successfully retrieved network details from the Infoblox server. |
| Failure | Activity failed to retrieve network details from the Infoblox server. |
Delete Network activity
The Delete Network activity deletes a network from an 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.
Input variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| InfobloxServer | Name of the Infoblox DDI Grid Server. |
| networkToDelete | Reference number of the network to delete from the Infoblox server. You can obtain this value either by using the List Registered Networks activity or when creating a network with the Create Network activity. An example of the network reference value is: network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTUuMC40NS4wLzI0LzA:15.0.45.0/24/default. |
| restCredentials | The sys\_id of the REST credentials from the ServiceNow instance. |
| api\_version | Defines the version of WAPI to use for the integration endpoints. The default value is 2.0. Note: This field is mandatory. If the field is empty, the orchestration activity will fail. |
Output variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| DeletedNetwork | Reference number of the deleted network from the Infoblox server. |
