Infoblox SSoT Integration¶

SSoT Infoblox integration allows synchronizing of IP network and VLAN data between Infoblox and Nautobot.

Usage¶

Below are the data mappings between objects within Infoblox and the corresponding objects within Nautobot:

Infoblox	Nautobot
Network	Prefix
IP Address	IP Address
VLAN	VLAN
VLAN view	VLAN Group
Network container	Prefix
Extensibility Attributes	Custom Fields

Extensibility Attributes¶

Extensibility Attributes in Infoblox are a method of adding additional contextual information to objects in Infoblox. The closest analog in Nautobot is a Custom Field so this information has been imported as such. There is also an effort to attempt to match the information in these fields where possible to available objects in Nautobot. These available links are noted below:

Network (Prefixes)¶

Site/Facility/Location
VRF
Role
Tenant/Department

IP Address¶

VRF
Role
Tenant/Department

VLAN Group¶

Site/Facility/Location

VLAN¶

Site/Facility/Location
Role
Tenant/Department

Aggregate¶

Tenant/Department

Note

Extensibility Attribute name matching is case-insensitive. An attribute named SITE, Site, or site is all treated as a location link.

Location matching¶

By default, an Extensibility Attribute named site, facility, or location is matched (by value) to a Nautobot Location. Matching is case-insensitive on both the attribute name and its value, so an Infoblox value of MEMPHIS will match a Nautobot Location named Memphis. The referenced Location must already exist in Nautobot - it is not created by the sync.

If your Infoblox instance stores the Location under a different attribute name, set the Infoblox Location Extensibility Attribute (infoblox_location_ext_attr) option on the SSoT config. When set, only that attribute name is matched to a Location, and the built-in site/facility/location names become ordinary Custom Fields. Leave the option blank to keep the default site/facility/location behavior.
