Get specific, narrowest subnet, with IP address as input [ Edited ]

[#1]

Can someone tell me how to use WAPI to get the specific, narrowest subnet, given an IPV4 address as input?

In other words, for example, if I have the IP address 10.26.76.121, I want the most specific, narrowly defined CIDR range, which would be 10.26.76.0/22, not any of the subnets it's part of.  In other words, I'd expect to have as an answer to my curl command the string 10.26.76.0/22, not 10.0.0.0/8, not 10.26.64.0/18 or any other subnets that 10.26.76.0/22 is part of.

I run the following command and get an empty set, i.e. no results, even though I know upon logging into the Grid Master web interface that it is really 10.26.76.0/22.  

$ curl -kl -u username:pw -X GET 'https://infoblox_ip/wapi/v2.7/network?network~=10.26.76.121&_return_fields%2B=network'

I am using the format of the command given in an earlier post, https://community.infoblox.com/t5/API-Integration/Find-subnet-given-device-IP/td-p/8033#.  This post was marked as solved, but I think it was marked as such prematurely, as not only did the requestor not get his question answered, but when I try that command here, it fails.

That said, if I shorten the command and run 

$ curl -kl -u username:pw -X GET 'https://infoblox_ip/wapi/v2.7/network?network~=10.26.76'

I get the expected response:

[
    {
        "_ref": "network/string-removed:10.26.76.0/23/default",
        "network": "10.26.76.0/23",
        "network_view": "default"
    }
]

So, is my only option to get a list of all the subnets and iterate through each and every one until I find the subnet that my IP address is in (using something like what's at https://docs.python.org/3/howto/ipaddress.html)?

Anybody know what I'm missing here?

Hi,

I got interesting results with the below:

curl -k -u admin:infoblox https://grid.master/wapi/v2.7/ipv4address?ip_address=172.16.0.200\&_return_fields=network

Response:

[
    {
        "_ref": "ipv4address/Li5pcHY0X2FkZHJlc3MkMTcyLjE2LjAuMjAwLzA:172.16.0.200",
        "network": "172.16.0.192/26"
    }
]

For the purpose of narrowing down the subnet that an IP address belongs to, the above worked for me.

Is this what you had in mind?

Yes, that works.  Thanks.

Hi,

https://ipman/wapi/v2.7/ipv4address?ip_address=10.17.117.2\&_return_fields=network

response:
[
    {
        "_ref": "ipv4address/Li5pcHY0X2FkZHJlc3MkMTAuMTcuMTE3LjIvMA:10.17.117.2",
        "network": "10.17.0.0/16"
    }
]

I cant find the exact network for 10.17.117.  instead im getting the overall subnetz.can u help?

Hi,

On the GUI, what is the subnet this IP address belongs to?

Can you try this API:

curl -k -u admin:infoblox -X GET "https://grid-master/wapi/v2.7/search?address=10.17.117.2&_return_as_object=1"

Hope this helps,
