Shared Networks

A shared network is a logical grouping of leaf networks that share a single broadcast domain. DHCP serves them as one pool.

show network shared

Syntax:

show network shared [<name>] [view=<name>]

WAPI: GET sharednetwork

show network shared

name=building-a view=default
name=building-b view=default comment=Annex

show network shared building-a

configure network add shared

Create a shared network, optionally associating existing member networks.

Syntax:

configure network add shared <name>
    [comment=<comment>]
    [view=<name>]
    [network=<n.n.n.n/mm> ...]
    [set <key> <value> ...]

WAPI: POST sharednetwork

For each network=<cidr> given, ibcli looks up the WAPI _ref of that network and adds it to the networks list in the POST body.

configure network add shared building-a

configure network add shared building-a \
    network=192.168.10.0/24 \
    network=192.168.11.0/24

configure network add shared building-a comment "Main campus" view=internal

Note

Member networks must already exist in WAPI. ibcli resolves them by network=<cidr> before creating the shared network. If a member network is not found, the command fails before creating the shared network.

configure shared_network \<name> delete

Delete a shared network by name.

Syntax:

configure shared_network <name> delete [view=<name>]

WAPI: GET sharednetwork?name=<name> then DELETE <ref>

configure shared_network building-a delete
configure shared_network building-b delete view=internal

Note the different command shape: deletion uses configure shared_network (with underscore), not configure network shared.

  • Networks - the leaf networks that belong to a shared network.
  • DHCP Ranges - ranges are configured on the leaf networks, not the shared network.
