infoblox-ddi

name	infoblox-ddi
description	Infoblox DDI operations — DNS zones/records, DHCP scopes and leases, IPAM networks and address utilization. Use when checking DNS records, validating IPAM address allocation, investigating DHCP scope exhaustion, verifying reverse DNS for network devices, or reconciling Infoblox with NetBox or Nautobot.

Infoblox DDI

MCP Server

• Source: infoblox-ddi-mcp (PyPI)
• Command: $INFOBLOX_MCP_CMD
• Transport: stdio
• Requires: INFOBLOX_URL, INFOBLOX_API_KEY
• Recommended scope: read-only for audit workflows; gate write operations behind ServiceNow CRs

How to Call the MCP Tools

python3 $MCP_CALL "$INFOBLOX_MCP_CMD" TOOL_NAME '{"param":"value"}'

Typical Tool Coverage

• Network and prefix inventory
• Fixed addresses and host records
• A, AAAA, CNAME, PTR, TXT records
• DHCP ranges, reservations, and lease lookup
• IP utilization and next-available-address queries

When to Use

• IPAM source-of-truth validation before assigning addresses
• DNS cutover and record verification during change windows
• DHCP scope exhaustion checks
• Reverse-DNS validation for network devices and services
• Reconciliation between NetBox/Nautobot intent and Infoblox reality

Workflow: DNS Change Validation

1. Query the target zone and existing records.
2. Check for conflicting A, AAAA, CNAME, and PTR records.
3. Confirm the target IP is allocated correctly in IPAM.
4. If the change is a write operation, require a ServiceNow CR first.
5. Verify forward and reverse records after implementation.

Workflow: DHCP Scope Investigation

1. Query the affected network or scope.
2. Review lease utilization and remaining free addresses.
3. Check reservations and exclusions for collisions.
4. Correlate the client or IP with Catalyst Center, ISE, or pyATS data if needed.

Integration with Other Skills

Skill	Integration
netbox-reconcile	Validate address intent against Infoblox allocations
nautobot-sot	Cross-check prefixes and IP ownership
servicenow-change-workflow	Gate DDI write actions behind approved changes
pyats-config-mgmt	Confirm address plan before device configuration

Important Rules

• Do not modify DNS/DHCP/IPAM without approved change control
• Always verify both forward and reverse DNS after writes
• Treat DDI as production control-plane infrastructure
