DNAC, Infoblox Integration and LAN Automation

[packet2020]

Hi All,

We are currently testing the integration of DNA Center 2.3.5.6 with Infoblox for syncing SD-Access pools. The integration is working, however we have noticed that when running LAN automation sessions for our large campus sites which use a /20 pools, LAN automation takes ~5 minutes to start because DNAC reserves each of the IPs allocated to the LAN auto DHCP pool one by one (512 IPs with a /20 pool). We can see this in Infoblox when we start the LAN auto session.

Has anyone else experienced this before and is there any way to speed this up? Is this a known issue/API limitation?

There are no options to alter DNACs behaviour in the infoblox integration. Any solution to this will have to be on the infoblox side.

I am not an infoblox expert, but the last time I looked at this i concluded that "writes" to infoblox is slow and there is not too much one can do about it(assuming that your infoblox instance has the resources it requires). 5 minutes still seems excessive to me - is there a proxy between your DNAC and Infoblox that could be enforcing a rate-limit?
