Citrix Application Delivery and Management IPAM provides you an ability to auto-assign and release IP addresses in Citrix Application Delivery and Management managed configurations. You can assign IPs from networks or IP ranges defined using the following IP providers:

  • Citrix Application Delivery and Management built-in IPAM provider.
  • Infoblox IPAM solution. For more information, see Infoblox DDI.

Currently, you can use Citrix Application Delivery and Management IPAM in:

  • StyleBooks: Auto-Allocate IPs to virtual servers when you create configurations.
  • Kubernetes Ingress: Auto-assign a virtual IP address to an Ingress configuration in a Kubernetes cluster.
  • API gateway: Auto-allocate an IP address to the API proxy.

You can also track the allocated and available IP addresses in each network or IP range managed by Citrix Application Delivery and Management.

Citrix Application Delivery and Management has a built-in IPAM provider to manage IPs and IP ranges. You can also add an external IP address provider to Citrix Application Delivery and Management.

Important

Before you begin, ensure that the following permissions are enabled in the external IP address provider:

  • Ability to query networks that are present in the provider.
  • Register a new network.
  • Unregister an existing network.
  • Reserve an IP address in the network.
  • Free an IP address from the network.
  • Retrieve the used IP addresses from a network.

    • Resource Type: Displays the resource type in that module. For the StyleBooks module, only the configurations resource type uses the IPAM network. So, it displays Configurations under this column.

    • Resource ID: Displays the exact resource id with a link. Click this link to access the resource that is using the IP address. For the configuration resource type, it displays the configuration pack ID as the resource ID.
