Synopsis 

A fixed address is a specific IP address that a DHCP server always assigns when a lease request comes from a particular MAC address of the client.
A fix address reservation is a specific IP address that a DHCP server reserves and never assigns to a client.
Supports both IPV4 and IPV6 internet protocols.

http_pool_connections integer	Insert decription here Default: `10`
http_pool_maxsize integer	Insert description here Default: `10`
http_request_timeout integer	The amount of time before to wait before receiving a response Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT` environment variable. Default: `10`
key string	Specifies private key file for encryption with the certificate in order to connect with remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_KEY` environment variable.
max_results integer	Specifies the maximum number of objects to be returned, if set to a negative number the appliance will return an error when the number of returned objects would exceed the setting. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RESULTS` environment variable. Default: `1000`
max_retries integer	Configures the number of attempted retries before the connection is declared usable Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable. Default: `3`

state string	Configures the intended state of the instance of the object on the NIOS server. When this value is set to `present`, the object is configured on the device and when this value is set to `absent` the value is removed (if necessary) from the device. Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
