Overview

This node operation creates a new IP address record in the Hudu system. It is useful for managing IP address inventories, assigning statuses, and associating IP addresses with companies and assets. For example, a network administrator can use this node to add a new IP address with a specific status and link it to a company and asset for tracking purposes.

Use Case Examples

1. Create a new IP address with status 'assigned' for a specific company and asset.
2. Add an IP address with additional details like FQDN and comments for documentation.
