When you create an IPv4 network, you can do so from scratch or from a network template that contains predefined properties. When you use a template to create a network, the properties of the template apply to the new network. For information about network templates, see *[About](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2414)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2414)*[IPv4](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2414)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2414)*[Network](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2414)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2414)*[Templates](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2414)*. You can also create an IPv4 network from the Tasks Dashboard, as described in *[Tasks](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384239)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384239)*[Dashboard](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384239)*.
After you create IPv4 networks, you can combine them into shared networks or create ranges and fixed addresses.

Adding IPv4 Networks
When you configure an IPv4 network, you must assign either Grid members or Microsoft servers to the network. A network cannot be served by a mix of Microsoft and Infoblox DHCP servers. Multiple servers can serve a network, but Grid members and Microsoft servers cannot serve the same network.
A Grid member can serve only one network view. Similarly, a Microsoft server can serve only one network view. Therefore when you assign Grid members to networks, you must assign the members to networks in the same network view. For information, see *[Managing IPv4 DHCP Data](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35783474)*.
If you have enabled support for RIR (Regional Internet Registry) updates and are adding an RIR IPv4 network container or network to NIOS, Grid Manager displays an RIR section in the *Add* *IPv4* *Network* wizard. You must enter RIR related information in this section in order for NIOS to associate the newly added network with an RIR organization. For more information about RIR address allocation and updates, see *[RIR](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384405)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384405)*[Registration](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384405)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384405)*[Updates](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384405)*.
To add an IPv4 network, complete the following:
1. From the **Data ****Management** tab, select the **DHCP** tab -> **Networks** tab.
2. In the **Networks** section, expand the **Toolbar** and click the **Add** drop-down list and select **Network **-> **IPv4** network or, click the Add icon drop-down list and select **IPv4 ****Network****.**
3. In the *Add** Network* wizard, select one of the following and click **Next**:
- **Add**** Network**: Click this to add a network from scratch.
- **Add**** Network ****using**** Template**: To use a template, click this, and then click **Select**** Template** and select a network template. For information, see *[About](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2403)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2403)*[IPv4](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2403)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2403)*[Range](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2403)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2403)*[Templates](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35447877/About+IPv4+DHCP+Templates#AboutIPv4DHCPTemplates-bookmark2403)*. The appliance populates the template properties in the wizard when you click **Next**. You can then edit the pre-populated properties, except for **Netmask**.
4. Complete the following and then click **Next**:
- **Regional ****Internet**** Registry**: This section appears only when support for RIR updates is enabled. For information about RIR, see *[RIR](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384405)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384405)*[Registration](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384405)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384405)*[Updates](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35384405)*. Complete the following to create an RIR IPv4 network container or network:
- **Internet ****Registry**: Select the RIR from the drop-down list. The default is **RIPE**. When you select **None**, the network is not associated with an RIR organization.
- **Organization**** ID**: Click **Select**** Organization** and select an organization from the *RIR** Organization** Selector* dialog box.
- **Registration**** Status**: The default is **Not**** Registered**. When adding an RIR allocated network, you can change this to **Registered** and select the **Do**** not**** update ****registrations** checkbox below. Note that when you select **API** as the communication method, the registration status will be updated automatically after the registration update is completed. However, when you select **Email** as the communication method, the registration status will not be automatically updated. If you are creating a new network and the registration update is completed successfully, the status will be changed to **Registered**. If the update fails, the status will be changed to **Not ****Registered**. The updated status and timestamp are displayed in the **Status ****of**** last ****update** field in the *IPv4 **Network **Container* or *IPv4** Network* editor.
- **Registration ****Action**: Select the registration action from the drop-down list. When you select **Create**, the appliance creates the IPv4 network and assigns it to the selected organization. When you select **None**, the appliance does not send registration updates to RIPE. When you are adding an existing RIR allocated network to NIOS, select **None**. When you are adding networks to an RIR allocated network (a parent network), select **Create**. Ensure that the parent network associated with an RIR organization already exists.
- **Do**** not ****update**** registrations**: Select this checkbox if you do not want the appliance to submit RIR updates to RIPE. By default, the appliance sends updates to the RIR database based on the configured communication method.

> ⚠️ **Note**
> ⚠️
> ⚠️ You must click **Add** **Next** to add the network container you enter in the Next Available Networks section. If you enter a network in the Next Available Networks section and then use the Add icon to add another network, the appliance does not save the network you enter in the Next Available Networks section until you click **Add** **Next**.
- **Comment**: Enter useful information about the network, such as the name of the organization it serves.
- The **Sync**** to**** MGM** drop-down list is available only on the managed Grid when it remains joined with the Multi-Grid Master. Select one of the following from the **Sync ****to**** MGM** drop-down list:
- **Yes**: Select this to enable synchronization of networks between the managed Grid and Multi-Grid Master.
- **No**: Select this to disable synchronization of networks between the managed Grid and Multi-Grid Master.
> ⚠️ **Note**
> ⚠️
> ⚠️ If you have selected **No** at the parent network (disabled synchronization) and if you try to select **Yes** when adding a child network, the appliance returns an error. This means that you cannot override the settings at the child level if you have already restricted synchronization at the parent network.

The **Cloud** section appears when the Cloud Network Automation license is installed on the Grid Master. For information, see *[Deploying](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[Cloud](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[Network](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*[Automation](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35881011)*.
To delegate authority for this network, complete the following:
**Delegate** **authority** **from** **the** **Grid** **Master**
- **Delegate To**: This field indicates whether the authority for the network you want to create has already been delegated to a Cloud Platform Appliance. Click **Select** to choose the Cloud Platform Appliance to which you want to delegate authority. The *Member **Selector* displays only Cloud Platform Appliances in the Grid. Click the member, and Grid Manager displays the member name next to this field. This cloud member now assumes authority for this network, and the Grid Master does not have authority anymore. You can also click **Clear** to remove authority delegation from the selected Cloud Platform Appliance and return authority back to the Grid Master.
5. Click **Next** and add a Grid member or Microsoft server as a DHCP server for the network. A network can be served by either Grid members or Microsoft servers, but not both at the same time.

- **Cloud**** Usage**: This field indicates whether this object is associated with any specific cloud extensible attributes or within the scope of delegation. It can be one of the following:
- **Cloud**** from**** adapter**: Indicates that this object has been created by a cloud adapter and it may or may not be within a scope of delegation at the moment.
- **Cloud**** from**** delegation**: Indicates that this object is within the scope of delegation or the object itself defines a scope of authority delegation, and it is not created by a cloud adapter.
- **Used ****by ****cloud**: Indicates that this network or network container is associated with the extensible attribute **Is**** External** or **Is**** Shared** and the value is set to True, which implies the network is a private or shared network managed by the CMP, and it is not **Cloud**** from ****adapter** or **Cloud ****from ****delegation**.
- **Non-cloud**: The object is a regular NIOS object and is not within the scope of any authority delegation nor is it associated with any of these extensible attributes: **Cloud**** API**** Owned**, **Is**** External**, or **Is**** Shared**. NIOS admin users can modify this object based on their permissions.
- **Owned**** By**: A cloud object can be owned by the Grid Master or the cloud adapter. When the object is created by the Cloud Platform member, this shows **Grid**. If the object is created by the cloud adapter, this shows **Adapter**.
- **Delegated** **To**: This tells you whether a cloud object has been delegated to a Cloud Platform Appliance or not. If the cloud object has a parent object and the parent has been delegated, this field shows the parent delegation and you cannot modify the field.
- Extensible attributes (**Building**, **Country**, **Region**, **State**, and **VLAN**): You can select the extensible attributes such as Building, Country, Region, State, and VLAN for display. When you enable other features such as RIR, Network Insight, and Cloud Network Automation, you can select additional attributes for display.

## Viewing Network Details
You can view detailed information about a specific network by clicking the network link. Grid Manager displays the objects in the network, including DHCP ranges, hosts, fixed addresses and roaming hosts. It displays the following information about the network:
- **IP** **Address**: The IP address of a DHCP object, such as a DHCP range, fixed address, reservation, host configured for DHCP, or roaming host with an allocated IP address. For a DHCP range, this field displays the start and end addresses of the range. For a host that has multiple IP addresses, each IP address is displayed separately. Note that the appliance highlights all disabled DHCP objects in gray.
The IP address is displayed in one of the following colors:
- **Yellow**: The IP address is unmanaged.
- **Blue**: The IP address is excluded.
- **Pink**: Indicates IP address conflicts.
- **Gray**: The IP address is currently not available as a NIOS object.
- **Type**: The DHCP object type, such as **DHCP ****Range** or **Fixed ****Address**.
- **Name**: The object name. For example, if the IP address belongs to a host record, this field displays the host name.
- **Comment**: The information you entered for the object.
- **IPv4 ****DHCP ****Utilization**: The percentage of the total DHCP usage of a DHCP range. This is the percentage of the total number of fixed addresses, reservations, hosts, and active leases in the DHCP range divided by the total IP addresses in the range, excluding the number of addresses in the exclusion ranges. Note that only enabled objects are included in the calculation. It does not include abandoned addresses or leases.
- **Site**: The site to which the DHCP object belongs. This is one of the predefined extensible attributes. You can select the following additional columns for display:
- **Static ****Addresses**: Indicates whether the IP address is a static address.
- **Dynamic ****Addresses**: Indicates whether the IP address is a dynamically assigned address.
- **Disabled**: Indicates whether the object is disabled. You can double-click a row and select the checkbox in this column to disable the network. Grid Manager displays a warning message when you select the checkbox. Click **Yes **to confirm or **No **to cancel. Note that disabling an IPv4 network may take a longer time to complete depending on the size of the data.
- **Priority**: Displays the priority of a DHCP range when NAC filters are applied.
- Available extensible attributes.
You can also perform the following in this panel:
- Modify some of the data in the table. Double-click a row, and either modify the data in the field or select an item from a drop-down list. Click **Save** to save the changes. Note that some fields are read-only. You can edit values of inheritable extensible attributes by double-clicking on the respective row. If an extensible attribute has an inherited value, then the cell is highlighted in blue when you perform inline editing. The *Descendant* *Actions* dialog box is displayed when you click **Save**.

Modifying IPv4 Networks
You can modify existing network settings and override the Grid or member DHCP properties, with the exception of the network address and netmask.
To modify an IPv4 network, perform the following:
1. From the **Data** **Management** tab, select the **DHCP** tab -> **Networks** tab -> **Networks** section -> *network* checkbox, and then click the Edit icon.
Or
From the **Data** **Management** tab, select the **IPAM** tab -> *network* checkbox, and then click the Edit icon.
2. The *IPv4* *Network* editor contains the following basic tabs from which you can modify data:
- **Genera** **Basic**: You can modify the following fields:
- **Comment**: The information you entered for the network.
- **Disabled**: This field is displayed only if the selected network is a network without a child network under it. You can disable and enable existing networks instead of removing them from the database, if the selected network does not have a child subnet. This feature is especially helpful when you have to move or repair the server for a particular network. Note that disabling an IPv4 network may take a longer time to complete depending on the size of the data.

Deleting IPv4 Networks
When you delete a network, all of its data, including all DHCP records, subnets, and records in its subnets, is deleted from the database. Due to the potentially large loss of data that can occur when you delete a network, the appliance stores the deleted network in the Recycle Bin. You can restore a deleted network from the Recycle Bin, if enabled. You can also disable a network instead of deleting it.
To delete a network, perform the following:
1. From the **Data** **Management** tab, select the **DHCP** tab -> **Networks** tab -> **Networks** section -> *network* checkbox, and then select **Delete** or **Schedule** **Delete** from the Delete drop-down menu.
2. To delete the network now, in the *Delete* *Confirmation* dialog box, click **Yes**. Grid Manager displays a warning message. Click **Yes **to continue or **No **to cancel the process. To schedule the deletion, see[* Scheduling Deletions.*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35444565/Scheduling+New+IPAM+DHCP+Objects+and+Associated+Port+Configurations#SchedulingNewIPAM/DHCPObjectsandAssociatedPortConfigurations-bookmark145)
The appliance puts the deleted network in the Recycle Bin, if enabled. Click **Restore **in the Recycle Bin to recover the deleted data. Click **Yes **in the *Restore Item* dialog box to restore or **No **to cancel the process.
> ⚠️ **Note**
> ⚠️
> ⚠️ - Any Port reservation associated with the deleted network will also be deleted without user intervention.
> ⚠️ - Deleting and restoring an IPv4 network may take a longer time to complete depending on the size of the data.
> ⚠️ - You cannot delete a network that has a VLAN object assigned to it. For more information, see [*Assigning VLANs to a Network*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios85/pages/35481082).
