IP Address Management export data format
|
NameSurfer 7.6.4.1 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The data format for export in IP address management consists of data fields separated by separators. These data fields have predefined content types. The fields are always exported in the same order but the import function also allows an arbitrary order, so the fields are recognized by their key names. The key names of the fields are and must be specified on the first line of the export data file.
If the data contain characters that might possibly interfere with the interpretation of the exported data (e.g. the separator character or other non-word characters), the whole content of that data field is placed within double quotes. If your data contains double quotes, which make the output format hard to interpret electronically, they should be exported without being decoded, which can only be achieved using the shell UI.
The data field key names
| Key | Field description |
|---|---|
| Type | Type of the line, one of Block, Owner, Info and Host |
| Owner | Name of the owner associated with the line |
| Prefix | IP address data of block or a single host. |
| AddressType | Type of the address shown on line, either IPv4 or IPv6, empty for non-address or non-block information data types. |
| Bitmask | The network bitmask of a block or block information, empty for other data types. |
| BlockType | Type of a block, one of divisible, address and delegated. |
| IsSubnet | 1 if the block on the line is defined as a subnet, 0 if not. |
| InfoKey | Name of the information field on an Info line. |
| InfoValue | Value of the information field on an Info line. |
| HostName | [optional] If export of host addresses is enabled, will contain the hostname associated with the address. |
If the "compact" export format (only available in the shell UI) is used to export IPAM data, the information associated with the entities is not exported as separate lines but as data fields on the same line as the entity it belongs to. In this case the created fields will be identified by the information entry label prefixed with "Info_" entry. The import function recognizes these entries as information data and will associate them with correct entities when a compact export file is imported, also via the web UI.
