The Tasks Dashboard

Infoblox IPAM Tasks View

The Tasks Dashboard provides easy access to commonly performed tasks, such as adding networks and adding host records. Tasks are grouped by service-specific task packs. You must have valid licenses to access specific tasks and task packs. You must have at least read-only permission to a task-related object to add that task to its task pack. To execute a task, you must have the appropriate permissions to the member and objects that are related to the tasks.

To perform a task, click the task in the task pack. Grid Manager opens the corresponding wizard.

The Data Management Tabs

Infoblox Data Management Tab

The Data Management tabs provide access to several data management tabs for DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM) functions.

The IPAM Tab

Infoblox IPAM View Tab

The IPAM Tab allows you to configure IPv4 and IPv6 networks, allocate IP addresses, and manage IP address usage within these networks. IPAM integrates IP address management with IP address services, so you can access DNS and DHCP data for each IP address.

The DHCP Tab

The DHCP tab allows you to access DHCP network and lease information for managed networks. The main area provides a listing of DHCP networks (also known as scopes) configured in Infoblox and associated with a DHCP server.

The DNS Tab

The Smart Folders Tab
