Please help : How to get all the unused IP's from a subnet

[#1]

Hi Everyone,

I understand that you can fetch unused IP's from a subnet by API call like:

curl -k1 -u testuser -X GET 'https://10.10.100.51/wapi/v1.4/ipv4address?network=10.10.10.0/24&status=UNUSED'

But if I replace value of status from Unused to used or to an extensible attribute ( status) value like Blocked 

In the below code as suggested by you, if i change the status to USED or to an extrensible attribute value as status=blocked, will the api give me used ip address and blocked ip address respectively ??

The status values for an IP address are either "USED" or "UNUSED".   The "USED" status indicates there is an object of some sort associated with the IP address.

EAs are stored on objects (such as hosts, fixedaddrs, networks, etc) , not on IP addresses.  When you search for EA values on an IP address ytou get matches for objects associated with that address.

It's a ssubtle diffference but important to understand.

You can search for IPs where the value of an EA is "blocked".  You would need to know which EA holds the value.  To keep yourself from getting confused, don't call the EA "stauts"!  Call it somehting else instead.  Perhaps "Condition".

And you would not need to specify status = USED because the presense of an object on that address implies that the state is USED.

curl -k1 -u admin:infoblox -X GET 'https://192.16.1.2/wapi/v2.8/ipv4address' -d 'network=192.168.1.0/24&*Conditon:=BLOCKED' -d '_return_fields%2b=status,extattrs'

Thanks Richard. That explains a lot.
