Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We use only external IP ranges (Infoblox) in our environment which is not supported by the provider so we need to add all the ranges manually.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to define external IP ranges within the vra_network_ip_range resource or ideally within the network profile.

Hello Everyone! Any chances to look into this one ? We do use Infoblox as well, and currently it is required to issue separate rest calls to get this part done when creating vra project via TF.

Any plan in the roadmap for this ?
Thanks!

When creating Network Policies in Network Profiles is not possible to point to an external IPAM (Infoblox) and add an IP Block.
I'm using the Infoblox IPAM 1.4 Integration in vRA.

I think we need:
A "externalIpBlockIds" argument in the Resource: vra_network_profile
A Datasource to lookup the externalIpBlockIds
A Datasource to lookup the isolationNetworkDomainId - I expect that Data Source: vra_network_domain will work.

In vRA API it is possible:

Get the externalIpBlockIds:
{{host}}/iaas/api/external-ip-blocks?%24filter=name+eq+'10.0.0.0/20'

Get the isolationNetworkDomainId:
{{host}}/iaas/api/network-domains?apiVersion=2021-07-15&$filter=name+eq+'transportzonename'

Create the Network Profile:
{{host}}/iaas/api/network-profiles?apiVersion=2021-07-15
