Description

The Add-IpamAddress cmdlet adds an IP address to IP Address Management (IPAM). You can use the cmdlet to associate the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) reservation properties with the IP address. The cmdlet does not create a reservation on the DHCP server. You can use Windows PowerShell for DHCP Server to create a reservation on the DHCP server.

Examples

Example 1: Add a physical IP address to the IPAM server

PS C:\> Add-IpamAddress -IpAddress 10.12.3.5 -PassThru
IpAddress        : 10.12.3.5

Type             : NonVirtualized

Duplicate        : False

ExpiryStatus     : Not Expired

MacAddress       :

ManagedByService : IPAM

ServiceInstance  : Localhost

DeviceName       :

DeviceType       : Host

IpAddressState   : In-Use

AssignmentType   : Static

This command adds the physical IP address 10.12.3.5 to the default address space that the current instance of the IPAM server manages. The command uses the following default values for the address:

  • ManagedByService parameter uses the default value IPAM
  • ServiceInstance parameter uses the default value Localhost
  • DeviceType parameter uses the default value Host
  • AssignmentType parameter uses the default value Static

Example 2: Assign a dynamic IP address to a virtual machine

PS C:\> Add-IpamAddress -IpAddress 10.12.4.9 -ManagedByService "TSQA DHCP" -ServiceInstance "dhcp1.contoso.com" -AssignmentType Dynamic -DeviceType VM -ExpiryDate $TwoWeeksFromNow -PassThru
IpAddress        : 10.12.4.9

Type             : NonVirtualized

Duplicate        : False

ExpiryStatus     : Not Expired

MacAddress       :

ManagedByService : MS DHCP

ServiceInstance  : dhcp1.contoso.com

DeviceName       :

DeviceType       : VM

IpAddressState   : In-Use

AssignmentType   : Dynamic

This command assigns the IP address 10.12.4.8 to a virtual machine. The command specifies that the DHCP server named dhcp1.contoso.com manages the address. The command specifies that the address expires in two weeks, at which time you can reclaim it.

Example 3: Add a provider IP address to the IPAM server

PS C:\> Add-IpamAddress -NetworkType Provider -IpAddress 172.16.10.16 -PassThru
IpAddress         : 172.16.10.16

NetworkType       : Provider

Duplicate         : False

ExpiryStatus      : Not Expired

MacAddress        :

ManagedByService  : IPAM

ServiceInstance   : Localhost

DeviceName        :

DeviceType        : Host

IpAddressState    : In-Use

AssignmentType    : Static

This command adds the provider IP address 172.16.10.16 (which the current instance of IPAM manages) to the default address space.

Example 4: Add a provider IP address that Virtual Machine Manager manages

PS C:\> Add-IpamAddress -IpAddress 172.16.10.16 -AddressSpace "Datacenter01" -ManagedByService VMM -ServiceInstance "vmm1.contoso.com" -PassThru
IpAddress         : 172.16.10.16

NetworkType       : Provider

Duplicate         : False

ExpiryStatus      : Not Expired

MacAddress        :

ManagedByService  : VMM

ServiceInstance   : vmm1.contoso.com

DeviceName        :

DeviceType        : Host

IpAddressState    : In-Use

AssignmentType    : Static

This command adds a provider IP address that is managed by vmmblue_1 and belongs to the provider address space named Datacenter01. vmmblue_2 statically manages the address assignment. Because this address is in a different address space, IPAM does not mark it as a duplicate.

Example 5: Add a customer IP address that a Virtual Machine Manager instance manages

PS C:\> Add-IpamAddress -IpAddress 172.16.10.16 -Virtual -AddressSpace "Datacenter01" -ManagedByService VMM -ServiceInstance "vmm01.contoso.com" -DeviceType VM
IpAddress         : 172.16.10.16

NetworkType       : Customer

Duplicate         : False

ExpiryStatus      : Not Expired

MacAddress        :

ManagedByService  : VMM

ServiceInstance   : vmm01.contoso.com

DeviceName        :

DeviceType        : VM

IpAddressState    : In-Use

AssignmentType    : Static

This command adds a customer IP address that the vmmblue_1 instance vmm01.contoso.com manages. The address is added to the customer address space for the tenant named Datacenter01.
