Hello,

We are migrating our "legacy" v1 API scripts for BAM 9.6.1 to v2 API.

In one of those tools, we use v1 "POST /Services/REST/v1/assignNextAvailableIP4Address" to look for a free static IP address. This endpoint provides parameter 'excludeDHCPRange=false' to easily avoid assigning static IP addresses from DHCP Ranges.

To achieve the same outcome in v2 API, we should use v2 "POST /api/v2/networks/{collectionId}/addresses" with the 'x-bcn-excluded-addresses' header.
But that header is not a Boolean but a list of IPRanges.

We're thinking on populating that 'x-bcn-excluded-addresses' header with the output of another API call to "GET /api/v2/networks/{collectionId}/ranges".

But even this approach is pretty straight-forward, it feels we are over complicating the process.

Are we missing something? Is there any easier way to achieve in v2 API the same behaviour from v1 'excludeDHCPRange=false' ?

Thank you very much.
