IPAM - create range with all ip included ip addresses

[sadden3194]

Hi all,

maybe I didn't understand the ipam section but I tried this:

IPAM > IP Ranges > Add

But this IP range has no ip addresses and I can't add addreses.

I gues that tha ip range create automatically all addresses vom 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254

Where is my mistake?

You can add it from IP Address page. It'll automcatically reflect here based on the matching configuration.

On the demo instance, I added this: https://demo.netbox.dev/ipam/ip-addresses/181/

And shows up here: https://demo.netbox.dev/ipam/ip-ranges/5/ip-addresses/

hmmm okay,
I thought it is enough, if I create a Range and all ip addresses will be create automatically

A range is a separate object type of its own in Netbox, referencing a block of addresses with arbitrary start and and addresses. For example, it could be used to record that a particular range is reserved for a particular purpose ("printers", say). And then you would add individual IP addresses each time you add a printer.

If you want to bulk insert IP addresses, this feature exists under IPAM > IP Addresses > Add. You'll see a tab "bulk create":

Click on it. Then you will see:

thanks! :)

is it possible to assign the information, which ip range is which vlan?
or should I write this into the description ?

The association is between Prefix and VLAN. In your case, you would create a Prefix 192.168.1.0/24 and link it to a VLAN.

It wouldn't make sense to assign individual IPs (or ranges of IPs) each to their own VLAN.
