Feature request - IP address reservation start from specific IP

[markatdxb]

Hello, would be possible to add additional parameter to IP address reservation cmdlet which would specify starting IP address from where to search for available IP ?

example i have a range : 10.123.8.0/21 in current config the first avail IP for reservation would be 10.123.8.1

what i would like to have is the option to specify, that first IP should be for example 10.123.9.1 if this is not available then check 9.2,9.3.....etc

Due to the network design we cant change the subnet configuration

thanks marek

Hi, As you have stated, that is currently not possible directly via StartIpReservation Verb. I have created an internal ticket to add this to the API in the future - tracked as IPAM-4003.

In a mean-time, you can try doing this manually, via CRUD on IPAM.IpNode (changing the following properties would mimic how StartIpReservation verb works):

• StatusBy = "Api"
• Status = "Blocked"
• LastSync = Time until you want this IP to be blocked (will not be overwritten)

However, additionally, before doing so, you would need to manually find the IP that you would like to be reserved (using SWIS query)

Then you can finish the reservation using FinishIpReservation as you would do normally.

@wjch-krl thanks for pointing me the right direction

just maybe one more question im writing this in python and i got to the point that im able to get URI of the IP which i want to reserve but for whatever reason im getting below error. permissions of the account should be ok - its a non admin account but it allows to change the IP status via GUI. the same account works fine for example when using verb to reserve IP in different script

uri = swis://orionserver/Orion/IPAM.IPNode/IpNodeId=1138491 my update command: swis.update( uri, Status = "Blocked") getting error:

tested from PS getting the same error

Unfortunately, to perform CRUD operations on IPAM.IPNode, IPAM.NodesCustomProperties & IPAM.GroupsCustomProperties (Orion 'admin' right is required - do not confuse with IPAM Admin) - while a user with IPAM Operator can perform corresponding operations from UI. This a known bug in IPAM (tracked as IPAM-2651)

Is there any update on IPAM-2651?

This would be really nice to have!
