26.1.0

In Address Manager v26.1, IPv4/IPv6 addresses can be imported into IPv4/IPv6 networks in CSV or JSON format through the Address Manager UI. Address Manager v26.1 includes service enhancements to support the import of files previously exported from Address Manager tables. CSV and JSON files exported from Address Manager IP address tables can now be imported directly back into IP address tables in other configurations or servers. For information on exporting IP addresses in CSV or JSON format, refer to Exporting table data.

Note: Auto-creation of Address Manager objects is limited to objects that can be auto-created when assigning an IP address through the user interface. To match the user interface functionality, the address import service will auto-create unrecognized MAC addresses and devices. When providing a hostname to auto-create host records, the referenced zone must already exist in the Address Manager configuration.
Note: The CSV examples below are provided for quick-start purposes. If transferring data between Address Manager tables, simply export the first table as CSV or JSON, then import that file into the destination table. The exported CSV/JSON from Address Manager contains information on all supported object fields for import.

Example CSV file (assigning IPv4 addresses):

type,name,address,state,macAddress.address,location.id
IPv4Address,example1,192.0.2.2,STATIC,,
IPv4Address,example2,192.0.2.3,DHCP_RESERVED,AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-AA,11937
IPv4Address,,192.0.2.4,RESERVED,DD-DD-DD-DD-DD-DD,11920

Example CSV file (assigning an IPv4 address and creating host record example.com):

type,name,address,state,_embedded.resourceRecords[0].absoluteName,_embedded.resourceRecords[0].type
IPv4Address,example4,192.0.2.5,STATIC,example.com,HostRecord

Example CSV file (assigning IPv6 addresses):

type,name,address,state,macAddress.address,clientIdentifier.duid,location.id
IPv6Address,,2001:db8::1,STATIC,,00-01-00-01-2A-04-4F-4F-00-0C-29-E3-85-98,11937
IPv6Address,example1,2001:db8::2,STATIC,AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-AA,,79427
IPv6Address,,2001:db8::3,DHCP_RESERVED,DD-DD-DD-DD-DD-DD,,

To import blocks and networks:

  1. Select the IPAM tab in the sidebar, then select IPv4 blocks or IPv6 blocks.
  2. Navigate to the table that contains the IPv4 or IPv6 network that you will be importing addresses into.
  3. In the table, select the row actions button (⋮) for the network, then select Import file.
  4. Drag and drop the CSV or JSON file into the File field, or select the box to open the file navigator and select the file.
  5. Select Import.
