Importing and Updating Address Spaces

You can create IP address objects when you import IP address information into IPAM using a text file. When you import information for a file, you must include the required fields for the address type as you do when you add addresses through the console. The file you create is a comma delimited file with the field names in the first row.
You can import information into custom fields; however, they must be defined prior to importing the data, and the defined field name must be included in the first line. The fields are not required to be in any particular order; however, the data must be in the same order as the fields.
When you create test files, the following rules apply to the data:
• Field names and Data can be enclosed quotes.
• Field names and Data can contain spaces.
• Field names and Data are not case sensitive.
• Data must be valid for the field into which it is being imported.
 
For example, the you can use the following to import two addresses into the IPAM database managing a DHCP server named DHCP1.adatum.com:
“IP Address”,”Managed by Service”,”Service Instance”,”Device Type”,”IP Address State”,”Assignment Type”
10.10.0.25,ms dhcp,dhcp1.adatum.com,host,in-use,static
10.10.0.26,ms dhcp,dhcp1.adatum.com,host,in-use,static
For IP address blocks, subnets and ranges, the network ID and network prefix length are combined in a single field named Network. For example, to import an IP Address block of 65.52.0.0/14 assigned by the ARIN regional authority, use the following in a text file:
“Network”,“Start IP address”,“End IP address”,RIR
65.52.0.0/14,65.52.0.0,65.52.255.255,ARIN
If a required field is missing or you try to import the wrong data type for a field, an error report is created in the user’s Documents folder. The mandatory fields for importing data are as follows:
• IP address block import: Network, Start IP address, End IP address, RIR
• IP address subnet import: Name, Network
• IP address range import: Network, Start IP address, End IP address, Managed by Service, Service Instance, Assignment Type, Utilization Calculation
• IP address import: IP address, Managed by Service, Service Instance, Device Type, IP Address State, Assignment Type
 
Import and Update IP Address Ranges
You can import and update data for IP address ranges. Updating the data will delete ranges that are no longer present. You do not have to perform the update step, as performing the import step only will create new ranges as appropriate. The import and update process is specific for a defined Managed by Service and Service Instance pair.
