Infoblox NIOS Integration

Overview

The NetBox Infoblox NIOS integration provides comprehensive synchronization of Infoblox Network Identity Operating System (NIOS) IPAM, DHCP, and VLAN data into NetBox, enabling organizations to maintain a unified view of their IP address management, DHCP, and VLAN infrastructure within their NetBox environment.

What Gets Synchronized

• Networks and Subnets (IPv4 and IPv6 networks and containers)
• IP Addresses (including DHCP leases, fixed addresses, and host records with hostnames)
• DHCP Ranges (IPv4 and IPv6 DHCP ranges)
• VLANs (VLAN objects with status and metadata)
• VLAN Views (mapped to VLAN Groups in NetBox)
• Network Views (mapped to tags for filtering and organization)

Technical Info

Key Features

• Automated Discovery: Automatically discovers and synchronizes IPAM, DHCP, and VLAN data from Infoblox NIOS into NetBox
• Scheduled Synchronization: Configurable schedule (daily, hourly, etc.) keeps NetBox data current with Infoblox NIOS inventory
• Comprehensive Object Mapping: Maps Networks, IP Addresses, VLANs, VLAN Groups, and DHCP Ranges
• Network View Filtering: Optionally limit synchronization to specific Infoblox network views
• NetBox Assurance Integration: Leverages NetBox Assurance for safe data ingestion and deviation management
• Secure Authentication: OAuth2 client credentials for secure communication with NetBox, basic authentication for Infoblox WAPI
• Easy Deployment: Docker-based agents run in multiple network locations
• Site Extraction: Automatically extracts site information from Infoblox extensible attributes

Integration Architecture

The Infoblox NIOS integration is built using the NetBox Labs controller integrations framework, which provides:

• Standardized Integration Pattern: Consistent approach across all controller integrations
• NetBox Assurance Integration: Built-in support for safe data ingestion and deviation management with NetBox Assurance
• Agent Based: Runs as part of the NetBox Discovery agent ecosystem using the Orb Agent Pro image

Compatibility

Supported NetBox Versions
