» packet_precreated_ip_block

Use this data source to get CIDR expression for precreated IPv6 and IPv4 blocks in Packet. You can then use the cidrsubnet TF builtin function to derive subnets.

» Example Usage 


# Create device in your project and then assign /64 subnet from precreated block
# to the new device

# Declare your project ID
locals {
  project_id = "<UUID_of_your_project>"
}

resource "packet_device" "web1" {
  hostname         = "web1"
  plan             = "t1.small.x86"
  facilities       = ["ewr1"]
  operating_system = "ubuntu_16_04"
  billing_cycle    = "hourly"
  project_id       = "${local.project_id}"

}

data "packet_precreated_ip_block" "test" {
  facility         = "ewr1"
  project_id       = "${local.project_id}"
  address_family   = 6
  public           = true
}

# The precreated IPv6 blocks are /56, so to get /64, we specify 8 more bits for network.
# The cirdsubnet interpolation will pick second /64 subnet from the precreated block.

resource "packet_ip_attachment" "from_ipv6_block" {
  device_id = "${packet_device.web1.id}"
  cidr_notation = "${cidrsubnet(data.packet_precreated_ip_block.test.cidr_notation,8,2)}"
}

» Argument Reference

  • project_id - (Required) ID of the project where the searched block should be.
  • address_family - (Required) 4 or 6, depending on which block you are looking for.
  • public - (Required) Whether to look for public or private block.
  • global - (Optional) Whether to look for global block. Default is false for backward compatibility.
  • facility - (Optional) Facility of the searched block. (Optional) Only allowed for non-global blocks.
