PREFACE:

  1. I'll be referring to the blog: How to use the IPAM API and get "Free IP Address" specifically a post by mtokarz on June 12, 2014 2:35PM in response to jgovednik
  2. I am also aware of and have voted for the feature request: Add SWIS features to IPAM
  3. I have also referred to this question post: Re: Full documentation of Orion SDK verbs? to see if any verbs exist for IPAM.IPNode, but none that I can find.

 

Following the post mentioned in #1, I am able to successfully find the next free ip address and update the status of an IP address in Solarwinds using Powershell:

 

Pre-reqs: Download the Orion SDK: solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub

 

Getting a Free IP Address:

# START Connect to SWIS

Add-PSSnapin SwisSnapin

$hostname = "mysolarwinds"

$username = "myuser"

$password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "mypassword" -asplaintext -force

$creds = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -Argumentlist $username, $password

$swis = Connect-Swis -host $hostname -Credential $creds

# END Connect to SWIS


Function SWOIPAM-GetFreeIpAddress($subnetAddress)

{

  $ipaddress = Get-SwisData $swis 'SELECT TOP 1 I.DisplayName FROM IPAM.IPNode I WHERE Status=2 AND I.Subnet.Address=@subnetAddress AND I.DnsBackward IS NULL' @{subnetAddress = $subnetAddress}

  return $ipaddress

}


$subnetProvision = 'X.X.X.X'

SWOIPAM-GetFreeIpAddress($subnetProvision)

 

Where:

  • $subnetProvision = Desired subnet to get next available IP Address from

 

Updating the Free IP Address' status from 'Available' to 'Used':

$postParams = @{__EVENTTARGET='ctl00$BodyContent$ctl05';__EVENTARGUMENT='';'ctl00$BodyContent$Username'='admin';'ctl00$BodyContent$Password'='password'}

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://mysolarwinds:8787/Orion/Login.aspx?autologin=no -Method POST -SessionVariable s -Body $postParams

$postParams =  @{'entity'='IPAM.IPNode';'verb'='UpdateManyStatus';'ObjectId'='129';'ipstatus'='1';'ids'='4'}

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://mysolarwinds:8787/Orion/IPAM/ExtCmdProvider.ashx -Method POST -WebSession $s -Body $postParams

 

Where:

  • ObjectID : type = number => SubnetId from IPAM.IPNode
    • One can obtain the SubnetId with the query: SELECT SubnetId, Address, FriendlyName, VLAN FROM IPAM.Subnet
  • ipstatus : type = number => where 1 (Used), 2 (Available), 4 (Reserved)
  • ids : type = number => the 4th octet of the IP Address you want to update in the specified subnet

 

THE QUESTION:

If the verb 'UpdateManyStatus' (with the params of ObjectID, ipstatus and ids) exist for IPAM.IPNode to update a particular IP address' status,

(@{'entity'='IPAM.IPNode';'verb'='UpdateManyStatus';'ObjectId'='129';'ipstatus'='1';'ids'='4'}),

are there any other verbs or documentation of verbs with necessary parameters for IPAM.IPNode that will update the DnsBackward (hostname), Comments and SkipScan fields for a particular IP Address??


If I can find out the verbs and their necessary parameters, then I would be able to update via the same method used for updating an IP Address' status in Powershell.

 

Thank you
