Infoblox

An important early step in conducting any census of managed assets is to validate IPAM tracking and allocation data. To that end, Infoblox has been integrated to Asset Manager. The Asset Manager-Infoblox integration brings the reach of Asset Manager’s network discovery to the IP address management (IPAM) space.

When you activate the Infoblox IPAM integration, Asset Manager . . .

1. Queries Infoblox

2. Correlates that data against what Asset Manager “knows”

3. Generates reports

4. Pushes metadata about discovered devices to Infoblox

This integration reconciles data between Asset Manager and Infoblox without directly reading or modifying Infoblox tables: All pull/update operations are performed by API calls. This integration enables you to produce and export an IP list with which you can update Infoblox's data. With the two solutions working together, gaps in IP management coverage are eliminated and your organization can accurately account for its assets under management.

Configuration via Asset Manager GUI

To configure connectivity between the Asset Manager Command Center and the Infoblox server:

1. On the Asset Manager main menu, browse to Settings > Integrations  > Other Solutions > Infoblox.
   
   

2. Provide connection credentials, described here:

   Field	Example	Description
   Polling Interval	24	How often (in hours) that Asset Manager should poll Infoblox for information
   Server Name	65.246.241.138	The Server name or IP address of the Infoblox server.
   Server User Name	infoblox	Your Infoblox username
   Server Password	********	Your Infoblox password

3. Click to toggle the Active control from red to green.
   
   

   Infoblox is configured.

   For more on this integration's reports, see the IP Address Management page.
   To see the results within Infoblox, log into Infoblox and browse to Data Management > IPAM.
