SYNOPSIS

Creates one or more prefixes in Netbox IPAM module.

SYNTAX

Single (Default)

New-NBIPAMPrefix -Prefix <String> [-Status <String>] [-Tenant <UInt64>] [-Role <UInt64>] [-IsPool <Boolean>]
 [-Description <String>] [-Scope_Type <String>] [-Scope_Id <UInt64>] [-VRF <UInt64>] [-VLAN <UInt64>]
 [-Custom_Fields <Hashtable>] [-Owner <UInt64>] [-Tags <Object[]>] [-Raw] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>]
 [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Bulk

New-NBIPAMPrefix -InputObject <PSObject> [-BatchSize <Int32>] [-Force] [-Tags <Object[]>] [-Raw]
 [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Creates new IP prefixes in Netbox IPAM module. Supports both single prefix creation with individual parameters and bulk creation via pipeline input.

For bulk operations, use the -BatchSize parameter to control how many prefixes are sent per API request. This significantly improves performance when creating many prefixes.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

New-NBIPAMPrefix -Prefix "10.0.0.0/24" -Status "active" -Scope_Type "dcim.site" -Scope_Id 1

Creates a single prefix scoped to site ID 1.

EXAMPLE 2

New-NBIPAMPrefix -Prefix "10.0.0.0/24" -Scope_Type "dcim.location" -Scope_Id 5

Creates a prefix scoped to location ID 5.

EXAMPLE 3

$prefixes = 1..50 | ForEach-Object {
    [PSCustomObject]@{Prefix="10.$_.0.0/24"; Status="active"; Scope_Type="dcim.site"; Scope_Id=1}
}
$prefixes | New-NBIPAMPrefix -BatchSize 50 -Force

Creates 50 prefixes in bulk using a single API call.

EXAMPLE 4

Import-Csv subnets.csv | New-NBIPAMPrefix -BatchSize 100 -Force

Bulk import prefixes from CSV file.
