How to get all subnets within an IPv4 network container, with REST API ?

Hi Aurelien,

You can filter the networks by their container like below:

API Call: 
https://<grid_ip>/wapi/v2.10/network?network_container=10.0.0.0/16&_return_fields%2B=network_container

Sample Output:
[
    {
        "_ref": "network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTAuMC4xMC4wLzI0LzA:10.0.10.0/24/Company%201",
        "comment": "Lab",
        "network": "10.0.10.0/24",
        "network_container": "10.0.0.0/16",
        "network_view": "Company 1"
    },
    {
        "_ref": "network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTAuMC4xLjAvMjQvMA:10.0.1.0/24/Company%201",
        "network": "10.0.1.0/24",
        "network_container": "10.0.0.0/16",
        "network_view": "Company 1"
    }
]

Hope this is helpful,

Thanks Krishna.

Is there a way to get comment field of an IPv4 network container ?

[#5]

Hi,

You can add it to the list of _return_fields like below:

For network:
https://<grid_ip>/wapi/v2.10/network?network_container=10.0.0.0/16&_return_fields%2B=network_container,comment

For network container:
https://<grid_ip>/wapi/v2.10/networkcontainer?_return_fields%2B=comment

 Regards,

Are you able to return the network container's comments within the output for all networks?

https://<grid>/wapi/v2.10/network?network_container=10.0.0.0/8&_return_fields%2B=network_container

plus something...

And get output like this?

[{
"_ref": "network/ZG5z...jgvMA:10.10.10.0/24/default",

"comment": "Example network comment",
"network": "10.10.10.0/24",
"network_container": "10.0.0.0/8",

"network_container:comment": "Example container comment",
"network_view": "default"
}]

[#7]

Hi,

I'm not clear regarding your question.

This is the output I get:

[
    {
        "_ref": "network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTAuMC4xMC4wLzI0LzA:10.0.10.0/24/Company%201",
        "comment": "Lab",
        "network": "10.0.10.0/24",
        "network_container": "10.0.0.0/16",
        "network_view": "Company 1"
    },
    {
        "_ref": "network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTAuMC4xLjAvMjQvMA:10.0.1.0/24/Company%201",
        "network": "10.0.1.0/24",
        "network_container": "10.0.0.0/16",
        "network_view": "Company 1"
    }
]

The comment field is returned by default if there is a comment added to the network/container.

How to query to multiple network container and create a next_available_network using powershell?

please help out this much helpful for me

[#9]

Hi,

Here you go:

$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic YWRtaW46aW5mb2Jsb3g=")
$headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")
$body = "{`n    `"network`":`"func:nextavailablenetwork:192.168.0.0/16,27`"`n}"
$response = Invoke-RestMethod 'https://grid-master.lab.com/wapi/v2.12/network' -Method 'POST' -Headers $headers -Body $body
$response | ConvertTo-Json

You can modify the fields highlighted in bold. 192.168.0.0/16 is the network container. 27 is the CIDR of the new network you want to create.

Krishna

how to check network_container exists, if not create a network container and create network subnet into it using powershell with REST API?

[#11]

You have to develop the logic in your code, and then make separate API calls for each step.

Search for the network container, and count the number of results.  If the number of results is zero, then the container does not exist and should be created.

10.0.0.0/8 exists in this grid:

curl -k1 -u admin:infoblox -X POST 'https://192.168.1.2/wapi/v2.10/request' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \
'[
  {
    "method":"GET",
    "object":"networkcontainer",
    "data": {
                "network": "10.0.0.0/8"
        }
  }
]'

returns:

[
    [
        {
            "_ref": "networkcontainer/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmtfY29udGFpbmVyJDEwLjAuMC4wLzgvMA:10.0.0.0/8/default", 
            "network": "10.0.0.0/8", 
            "network_view": "default"
        }
    ]
]%                

But 10.0.0.0/12 does not:

curl -k1 -u admin:infoblox -X POST 'https://192.168.1.2/wapi/v2.10/request' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \
'[
  {
    "method":"GET",
    "object":"networkcontainer",
    "data": {
                "network": "10.0.0.0/12"
        }
  }
]'

returns an empty set:

[
    []
]

Subnets can be created directly, or by using a next_available_network function within the network container.

Create the next available network inside a network container:  (using the 10.0.0.0/8 from the first example)

curl -k1 -u admin:infoblox -X POST 'https://192.168.1.2/wapi/v2.10/request' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \
'[
  {
    "method":"POST",
        "object": "network",
        "enable_substitution": true,
        "data": {
      "network": "func:nextavailablenetwork:networkcontainer/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmtfY29udGFpbmVyJDEwLjAuMC4wLzgvMA:10.0.0.0/8/default,24",
      "comment": "Created by Next Available Network"
        }
  }
]'

returns a reference to the network that was created:
[
    "network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTAuMC4yLjAvMjQvMA:10.0.2.0/24/default"
]

[#12]

can you please make the above code into powershell ?

please help me to solve this

$network_data = @{
network="func:nextavailablenetwork:$network_container,default,$cidr";
comment="PS-TESTAPI";
network_view="default"
}
$body = $network_data | ConvertTo-Json 

$new_network_discovery_url = "https://xx.xx.xxx.xx/wapi/v2.9.7/network"
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $new_network_discovery_url -Method POST -Body $body -Credential $creds   -ContentType 'application/json'  -UseBasicParsing 

Below is the error i am getting

Hi,

The below powershell code works for me:

$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic auth")
$headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")

$body = "{
`n	`"network`":`"func:nextavailablenetwork:10.0.0.0/8,default,24`",
`n	`"network_view`":`"default`",
`n	`"comment`":`"Test`"
`n}"

$response = Invoke-RestMethod 'https://grid-master/wapi/v2.7/network' -Method 'POST' -Headers $headers -Body $body
$response | ConvertTo-Json

Krishna

how to check if particular network container is already utilizing 100% using REST API in powershell?

[#16]

The comment is for the network object and I also want the comment for the network container object.
