# Infoblox IPAM and DHCP
Infoblox IPAM and DHCP is a platform that provides automated IP address management and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol services.
For on-prem Infoblox NIOS use the [Infoblox DDI](https://docs.axonius.com/axonius-help-docs/docs/infoblox) adapter.
### Use Cases the Adapter Solves
* **IP Address Management Visibility:** Surface devices from Infoblox DHCP host records and IP address assignments alongside data from other adapters in Axonius, providing a comprehensive view of network-managed assets.
* **Network Device Discovery:** Identify devices tracked in Infoblox IPAM — including IP space, server, and MAC address — to close gaps between your IP management platform and endpoint management tools.
## Types of Assets Fetched
This adapter fetches the following types of assets:
* Devices
* Application Settings
## Data Retrieved through the Adapter
**Devices** - fields such as: Name, IP Address, MAC Address, Last Seen
**Application Settings** - fields such as: DDNS Enabled, DDNS Send Updates, DDNS Use Conflict Resolution,
## Before You Begin
### Required Ports
Axonius must be able to communicate with the value supplied in [Host Name or IP Address](#parameters) via the following ports:
* **TCP port 80/443**
### Authentication Methods
The Infoblox IPAM and DHCP adapter authenticates using an API Key associated with a user account.
### APIs
Axonius uses the [Infoblox IP Address Management API,](https://csp.infoblox.com/apidoc/?url=https://csp.infoblox.com/apidoc/docs/Ipamsvc#/) using the following endpoints:
**Devices**
* `GET /api/ddi/v1/dhcp/host` — Fetch DHCP hosts (devices); offset-based pagination, 200 per page
* `GET /api/ddi/v1/dhcp/mac_address_item` — Fetch MAC address data; enriches device records
* `GET /api/ddi/v1/ipam/address` — Fetch IP address data; enriches device records
**Application Settings**, Axonius uses the following endpoint:
* `api/ddi/v1/dhcp/global`
## Required Permissions
The Infoblox user account requires a limited-access admin group with API access and read-only permissions on the following resource types. This is the minimum permission set needed to connect the adapter.
### Setting Up a Limited-Access Admin Group in Infoblox
To create a limited-access admin group with the minimum required permissions:
1. In Infoblox Grid Manager, go to **Administration** > **Administrators** > **Groups**, then click the **Add** icon.
2. Enter a **Name** for the admin group, then click **Next**.
3. Clear the **Superusers** checkbox.
4. Under **Allowed Interfaces**, select **API**, then select **API (WAPI/PAPI only)**.
5. Click **Save**.
### Assigning Read Permissions
After creating the group, assign `READ` permission to each of the following resource types:
| Resource Type | Description |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------- |
| `NETWORK` | IPv4 networks |
| `NETWORK_CONTAINER` | IPv4 network containers |
| `NETWORK_VIEW` | Network views |
| `IPV6_NETWORK` | IPv6 networks |
| `IPV6_NETWORK_CONTAINER` | IPv6 network containers |
| `FIXED_ADDRESS` | IPv4 fixed addresses |
| `IPV6_FIXED_ADDRESS` | IPv6 fixed addresses |
| `HOST` | Host records |
| `RANGE` | IPv4 DHCP ranges |
| `IPV6_RANGE` | IPv6 DHCP ranges |
**Note:** By default, Infoblox denies access to all resources for limited-access admin groups. You must explicitly assign `READ` permission to each resource type listed above. Permissions assigned to a network apply to all its associated DNS and DHCP resources.
To assign permissions by using the WAPI, send a `POST` request to `/wapi/v/permission` with the following structure for each resource type:
```json
{
"group": "",
"permission": "READ",
"resource_type": ""
}
```
### Supported From Version
Supported from Axonius version 6.1.45.0
## Connecting the Adapter in Axonius
1. Navigate to the **Adapter Catalog**, search for Infoblox IPAM and DHCP, and select the adapter.
2. Click **Add Connection**.
3. Provide the following parameters.
### Parameters
1. **Host Name or IP Address** *(required)* - The hostname or IP address of the Infoblox IPAM and DHCP server that Axonius can communicate with via the [Required Ports](#required-ports).
2. **API Key** *(required)* - An API Key associated with a user account that has permissions to fetch assets.
3. **Verify SSL** - Select whether to verify the SSL certificate of the server against the CA database inside of Axonius. For more details, see [SSL Trust & CA Settings](/docs/certificate-settings#ssl-trust-ca-settings).
4. **HTTPS Proxy** *(optional)* - Connect the adapter to a proxy instead of directly connecting it to the domain.
5. **HTTPS Proxy User Name** *(optional)* - The user name to use when connecting to the value supplied in **Host Name or IP Address** via the value supplied in **HTTPS Proxy**.
6. **HTTPS Proxy Password** *(optional)* - The password to use when connecting to the server using the **HTTPS Proxy**.
