Okay, we're finally ready to start entering our subnets at **Administration > IP related management > Subnets**. For each one, I entered the Subnet in CIDR format, gave it a useful description, and associated it with my `Lab` section. I expanded the *VLAN* dropdown and used the *Add new VLAN* option to enter the corresponding VLAN information, and also selected the Nameserver I had just created.

I also enabled the options *Mark as pool*, *Check hosts status*, *Discover new hosts*, and *Resolve DNS names*.

Since releasing this integration, I've learned that phpIPAM intends for the `isPool` field to identify networks where the entire range (including the subnet and broadcast addresses) are available for assignment. As a result, I no longer recommend using that field. Instead, consider [creating a custom field](https://github.com/jbowdre/phpIPAM-for-vRA8/blob/main/docs/custom_field.md) for tagging networks for vRA availability.

We've now got the framework in place so let's move on to the first operation we'll need to write. Each operation has its own subfolder under `./src/main/python/`, and each contains (among other things) a `requirements.txt` file which will tell Maven what modules need to be imported and a `source.py` file which is where the magic happens.

I decided to add the extra `filter_by=isPool&filter_value=1` argument to the query so that it will only return subnets marked as a pool in phpIPAM. This way I can use phpIPAM for monitoring address usage on a much larger set of subnets while only presenting a handful of those to vRA.

I now filter for networks identified by the designated custom field like so:

```python
|

# Request list of subnets
|

subnet_uri = f'{uri}/subnets/'
|
||||
if enableFilter == "true":
|
||||
queryFilter = f'filter_by={filterField}&filter_value={filterValue}'
|
||||
logging.info(f"Searching for subnets matching filter: {queryFilter}")
|
||||
else:
|
||||
queryFilter = ''
|
||||
logging.info(f"Searching for all known subnets")
|
||||
ipRanges = []
|
||||
subnets = requests.get(f'{subnet_uri}?{queryFilter}', headers=token, verify=cert)
|

subnets = subnets.json()['data']

Now is a good time to consult [that white paper](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-services/1.0/ipam_integration_contract_reqs.pdf) to confirm what fields I'll need to return to vRA. That lets me know that I'll need to return `ipRanges` which is a list of `IpRange` objects. `IpRange` requires `id`, `name`, `startIPAddress`, `endIPAddress`, `ipVersion`, and `subnetPrefixLength` properties. It can also accept `description`, `gatewayAddress`, and `dnsServerAddresses` properties, among others. Some of these properties are returned directly by the phpIPAM API, but others will need to be computed on the fly.

For instance, these are pretty direct matches:

Fortunately there's a somewhat-hidden way to disable (and re-enable) vCLS on a per-cluster basis, and it's easy to do once you know the trick. This can help if you want to permanently disable vCLS (like in a lab environment) or if you just need to turn it off and on again[^off-and-on] to clean up and redeploy uncooperative agent VMs.

Disabling vCLS will break DRS, and could have other unintended side effects. Don't do this in prod if you can avoid it.
