This plugin adds a new DHCP provider for managing records with infoblox servers
See How_to_Install_a_Smart-Proxy_Plugin for how to install Smart Proxy plugins
This plugin is compatible with Smart Proxy 1.11 or higher.
When installing using "gem", make sure to install the bundle file:
echo "gem 'smart_proxy_dhcp_infoblox'" > /usr/share/foreman-proxy/bundler.d/dhcp_infoblox.rb
To enable this DHCP provider, edit /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/dhcp.yml and set:
:use_provider: dhcp_infoblox
:server: IP of infoblox server
:subnets: subnets you want to use (optional unless you set infoblox_subnets to false)
Configuration options for this plugin are in /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/dhcp_infoblox.yml and include:
- username: API Username
- passowrd: API Password
- record_type: host / fixedaddress (see different record types chapter)
- use_range: use infoblox ranges (true) or infoblox networks (false) to find the next free ip in your infoblox
The main difference between host and fixedaddress is that a host record already includes the dns records. It's an infoblox object that includes dhcp/a record/ptr records. If you use the host objects there is no need to use a dns smart proxy. Everything gets handled inside the dhcp smart proxy. This does however limit functionality. You can't delete conflicting records or you can't change dns names using foreman gui. Beware when editing host objects manually in infoblox, once you delete a host in foreman all associated host objects get deleted.
If you chose to use fixedaddress you'll need to use the infoblox dns smart proxy (https://github.com/theforeman/smart_proxy_dns_infoblox) if you want to manage dns records.
