Direct Assign to VLAN

Expand

To Direct Assign a specific block to the VLAN, expand the Direct Assign to VLAN module, then enter the CIDR to assign into the CIDR"box, and click Add IP Block .

If blocks exist with the same CIDR (such as in duplicate 1918 space), you may differentiate between the two by clicking on Advanced Options, and providing additional filter criteria to use to assign a specific block.

Smart Browse to VLAN

Smart Browse to VLAN is used to search for a general list of blocks available to assign to the VLAN that meets certain criteria.

Expand

Expand the Smart Browse module by clicking on the header bar .

Then, enter your filter criteria. At minimum, block type, size, and RIR must be provided; region and tags are optional.

If further filtering is needed, click Advanced Options to open the LIR, Custom Code (here: as "GRT"), and assigned resource fields to use.

Once you have entered your filter criteria, click Smart Browse to display your results.

Assigning from Smart Browse

The Smart Browse results list will display a list of blocks that a) meet your filter criteria, and b) do not already have a VLAN assigned.

You may assign individual blocks immediately (Add IP Block), or select multiple blocks and delay assignment until after your final selections are complete (Assign Selected).

Immediate Assignment:

Expand

To assign an individual block immediately from the list to the VLAN, click Add IP Block for the desired block.

After clicking Add IP Block, the block will immediately be assigned to the VLAN, and an "Assigned" status will display for the block in the Smart Browse list.

From here, you may assign additional blocks. Click Close to exit when complete.

Tip
If the "Assigned" status displays for all blocks you intend to assign, then you may skip clicking Assign Selected - as nothing else remains to assign - and instead click Close to exit.

Delayed Assignment / Selecting Multiple Blocks:

Expand

If you wish to assign multiple blocks to the VLAN at the same time, or mark a single block to assign later while continuing to browse the list, you may select a block to mark for later assignment and then assign all selected blocks at once.

To select a single block, left click on row for the block (taking care not to accidentally click on a blue link). Note that the row will have a yellow highlight indicating it is selected:

To select additional blocks, shift-click on each row you wish to mark for assignment. You may freely scroll through the results to review your selection.

When done, click Assign Selected. All highlighted blocks will be assigned to the VLAN at the same time, and the Smart Browse window will close.

...

To open or close the Utilization panel, click on the "Eye" icon in the grey header bar.

While in the Quickview panel, you may easily search for a block by typing the all or part of the CIDR into the IPv4 or IPv6 Filter boxes - useful for verifying an assignment or quickly scanning ranges.

You may also remove a block from the VLAN with a single click of the Remove button.
