The Infoblox IPAM module enables organizations who utilize Infoblox for centralized IP address management to have a fully automated method of obtaining and releasing IP addresses as the cloud environment dynamically scales. IP subnets can now easily be shared between deployments and alongside existing tools and devices without fear of IP conflict.

This Module requires the Infoblox IPAM License in order to execute an Infoblox [IPAM Policy](/docs/onefuse/configure/modules/ipam/#ipam-policy-form). Infoblox IPAM Policies, Endpoints, and Module Credentials can be created without a license.

3. Define an IPAM Policy with an Infoblox Endpoint.
4. Execute the IPAM Policy to reserve and release IP addresses through the [OneFuse API](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/cloudbolt/OneFuse/) or an [Upstream Provider](/docs/onefuse/consume/what-is-upstream-provider/).

Update an Infoblox IPAM Policy to change any of the fields from the [IPAM policy form](/docs/onefuse/configure/modules/ipam/#ipam-policy-form) with an Infoblox Endpoint. The IPAM Endpoint cannot be changed from the original Endpoint chosen during Policy creation.

2. Find the Policy to update and select the edit button.
3. Edit the name, description, subnet(s), or DNS information on the IPAM Policy form.

## Reserve/release IP addresses

Use the [OneFuse API](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/cloudbolt/OneFuse/) to reserve and release IP addresses through the execution of an Infoblox IPAM Policy. OneFuse will attempt to find the first available IP address in the first subnet. If no IP address is found, OneFuse will select the next subnet the user defined. Specify subnets in the order in which the subnet should fill up.

### Policy ID

The Policy ID is required to reserve and release IP addresses.

1. Access the IPAM Policy dashboard.
2. Find the Policy you are executing through the API.
3. Select the view button.
4. Reference the Details box to locate the Policy ID.
