Update an IP Subnet

patch

/ipSubnet/{id}

Updates the IP Subnet that matches the specified ID. The ID for IP subnets is a composite of three different attributes: IPAddress-PrefixLength-IPAddressDomainName. Update can be performed either using merge-patch or json-patch, each of which accepts a different request content-type. Kindly note that ID and ResourceSpecification cannot be updated and must not be provided in the PATCH requests.

Merge Patch:

All attributes provided in the request will be updated with the given values.

JSON Patch:

This operation performs sequential updates on individual attributes.

Attribute selection is enabled for all first-level attributes.

Optionally, use the expand parameter to specify any resource relationships (resourceRelationship.INVOLVE, resourceRelationship.CONSUMER) that you want to see details for. By default, you'll just see links for these.

Optionally, use the depth parameter to expand the level of referenced entities. If depth=0, all referenced entities in RootEntity objects will contain only the ID, HREF, and @type. If depth=N, it expands reference objects of related entities recursively, and the last level contains only the references. The default is depth=0.

Examples

This example shows how to update the details of an IPv4 or IPv6 subnet for a given ID by submitting a PATCH request on the REST resource using cURL. For more information about cURL, see "Install and Use cURL".

cURL Command

curl -X PATCH "http://hostname:port/InventoryRSOpenAPI/resourceInventoryManagement/version/ipSubnet/ID" -H credentials @ipSubnetPatch.json

where:

  • hostname is the URL for the UIM REST server.
  • port is the port for the UIM REST server.
  • version is the version of the API you're using.
  • ID is the ID of the IP subnet to be updated.
  • ipSubnetPatch.json is the JSON file with updated values.

Example of Request Body

This shows an example of the contents of the ipSubnetPatch.json file sent as the request body for the MERGE patch.

Note:

The MERGE patch requests should not have ID and Resource-Specification attributes in the requests as they cannot be updated. 

{
    "@type": "IPNetwork",
    "name": "WebHosting_Subnet",
    "description": "A web hosting sub-network"
}

This shows an example of the contents of the ipSubnetPatch.json file sent as the request body for the JSON patch. 

{
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/name",
    "value": "WebHosting_Subnet"
}

Example of Response Body

This example shows the contents of the response body in JSON format. It shows the IPV4 or IPV6 subnet details for a given ID.
