Get linked entities for user-defined link

Send feedback

Return an array of entity IDs linked using the given link type to the given source or destination entity ID.

API method: GET /v1/getLinkedEntitiesEx

Examples

Input:

{
    "linkType": "UniqueLinkTypeName",
    "sourceEntityId": 81253
}
Output:
[23125]

OR

Input:

{
    "linkType": "UniqueLinkTypeName",			
    "destinationEntityId": 23125
}
Output:
[81253]
Parameters
  • linkType—enter a unique name for the user-defined link.
  • sourceEntityId—enter the source entity ID.
  • destinationEntityId— enter the destination entity ID.
Note:
  • You must provide either sourceEntityId or destinationEntityId but not both.
  • You cannot retrieve a name that is a reserved link type name. For a list of reserved link type names, refer to Reference: Reserved link type names.

Get linked entities by user-defined link

Send feedback

Return an array of objects detailing entities currently linked by a given UDL type, with an optional parameter to qualify results by source or destination entity ID.

API method: GET /v1/getLinkedEntitiesByUDL

Example

Input:

{
    "linkType": "UniqueLinkTypeName",
    "entityId": 100895
}
Output:
[
    {
        "sourceId": 100895,
        "description": "Description for the link",
        "destinationId": 100897
    },
    {
        "sourceId": 100895,
        "description": "Description for the link",
        "destinationId": 100904
    }
]
Parameters
  • linkType—enter a unique name for the user-defined link.
  • entityId—(optional) enter the source or destination entity ID. If an ID is not provided, all linked entities matching the specified link type will be returned.
Note:
  • If providing an entityId parameter, you must provide either the source entity ID, or the destination entity ID, but not both.
  • You cannot retrieve a name that is a reserved link type name. For a list of reserved link type names, refer to Reference: Reserved link type names.

The following table displays the object type and the corresponding value (TypeName) for the sourceEntityTypes and destinationEntityTypes parameters.

Note: For entities that have two corresponding TypeNames, you must enter the two TypeNames as the values.

IPAM

Send feedback

The IP core contains information about network structures or allocation blocks and static and dynamic allocations.

This information is integrated with the DNS core to keep the DNS space current with the IP networks that it represents. DHCP configuration is modeled on the allocation blocks in the Address Manager IP core and is kept current by real-time feedback from managed servers. Dynamic DNS changes, such as address allocations, from Active Directory and other updating systems are sent to Address Manager in real time, showing administrators that an automated process made a configuration change.

IPv4 blocks

Send feedback

An IPv4 block is a group of IPv4 addresses that is separated from a larger network by subnetting.

You cannot route addresses within a block until you have allotted them into a network. You can add and return blocks by IP range or CIDR notation. You can specify default DNS domains for IPv4 blocks with the defaultDomains property. To add a single default domain, specify the object ID for the required domain. To add multiple default domains, specify the object IDs for multiple domains as a comma-delimited list of domain object IDs.

Add parent block

Send feedback

Create an IPv4 or IPv6 block from a list of IPv4 or IPv6 blocks or networks. All blocks and networks must have the same parent but it does not need to be contiguous.

Get IPv4 range by IP address

Send feedback

Return the IPv4 block containing the specified IPv4 address.

API method: GET /v1/getIPRangedByIP

Use this method to find the configuration, IPv4 block, IPv4 network, or DHCP range containing a specified address. You can specify the type of object to be returned, or you can leave the type of object empty to find the most direct container for the object.

Output / Response: Returns an APIEntity for the object containing the specified address. If no object is found, returns an empty APIEntity. If you specify ObjectTypes.IP4Block, ObjectTypes.IP4Network, or ObjectTypes.DHCP4Range as the type parameter, returns an object of the specified type. If you specify an empty string ("") as the type parameter, returns the most direct container for the IPv4 address.

Merge blocks with parent

Send feedback

Merge specified IPv4 blocks into a single block. The blocks must all have the same parent and must be contiguous. Blocks whose parent object is the configuration cannot contain networks.

Merge selected blocks or networks

Send feedback

Merge specified IPv4 blocks or IPv4 networks into a single IPv4 block or IPv4 network. The list of objects to be merged must all be of the same type (for example, all blocks or all networks). The objects must all have the same parent and must be contiguous.
