IPv6 block objects. Blocks form the nodes of a tree with networks as the leaves.
class ip6_block.IP6Block(api, api_entity)
Bases: bluecat.configuration.IP6SpaceConfiguration, bluecat.configuration.IP6SpaceConfigurationBlockNet
An IPv6 block is a group of IPv6 addresses that is separated from a larger network by subnetting.
add_ip6_block_by_mac(mac_address, name, properties='')
Adds a IPv6 block by specifying the MAC address of the server.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| mac_address | The MAC address of the server in the format nnnnnnnnnnnn, nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn or nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn, where nn is a hexadecimal value. |
| name | Descriptive name for the IPv6 block. This value can be empty. |
| properties | Adds object properties, including user-defined fields. This value can be empty. |
Returns: Creates an IPv6 block instance.
add_ip6_block_by_prefix(ip6_prefix, block_name, properties='')
Adds an IPv6 block by specifying the prefix for the block.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| ip6_prefix | The IPv6 prefix for the new block. This value cannot be empty. |
| name | Descriptive name for the IPv6 block. This value can be empty. |
| properties | Adds object properties, including user-defined fields. This value can be empty. |
Returns: Creates an IPv6 block instance.
add_ip6_network_by_prefix(prefix, name, properties='')
| Parameters | Description |
