Hi - im trying to understand the best approach to move and grow an existing subnet. We have a subnet per building and one of our buildings in being renovated and (basically) doubling in size, and there will be twice as much network equipment in the building after this revovation. The exising subnet is a /24 with about 180 addresses consumed, and there will be 300+ devices after this change. I can't grow the existing subnet, as the adjacent subnet is already used. Each IP address that has been used in the existing range is a Host record, with DNS name and static MAC > IP mapping.
I have tested creating and importing new host records into the new /23 range that i have allocated, and that works fine, so i have a way to export the existing Host records, updating the IP addresses, and re-import them into the new range - i think i need to bulk-disable the old host records as infoblox wont like having the same DNS name on 2 seperate IP address (in the GUI it would give this error; The record 'xx.yy.com' already exists.)
I know i can go into each record individually and disable them, but there must be a bulk / whole subnet way of doing this? Is there a better approach / method of making this kind of change ? Although i previously mentioned there was 1 subnet, we actually have around 20 - 30 per building, so i need to make this change 20+ times to keep all of our subnets / IP addressing scheme consistent.
Thanks !
