This section has API version settings for the record.

Enter or select the target compliance hosts (IPs) that you want to authenticate to with the credentials provided in this record. Each IP may be included in one Infoblox record.
Select IPs/Ranges - Click this link to select IPs/ranges from a list of IPs in your account. The Select IP Addresses window that appears provides a search option so you can easily find what you're looking for. Expand any IP range to see details about the IPs in the range. After selecting IPs/ranges, click Select to add them to the record.
Select Asset Group - Click this link to add IP addresses from asset groups in your account. In the Add IPs from Asset Group window, you'll see the groups listed with the IPs included in each group. There's also a search option so you can quickly find groups in the list. Select one or more groups and click Add. The IPs from the selected groups will be added to the record.
Remove - Click this link to remove IPs/ranges from the record. This is especially useful if you want to remove one or more IPs from within an IP range. In the pop-up that appears, enter the IPs/ranges to remove, and click Remove. The IPs section in the record will be updated with the IPs removed.
For example, let's say the record includes the range 10.10.10.10-10.10.10.250. If you remove 10.10.10.122, the IPs field will be updated to 10.10.10.10-10.10.10.121, 10.10.10.123-10.10.10.250.
Clear - Click this link to clear the entire IPs field.
Display each IP/Range on new line - Check this option to arrange each IP address and IP range on a new line instead of the comma-separated list.
