Tool selection
I have looked around quite a bit for a proper IP Address management Solution. I was in need of a few requirements
Requirements
- Adding Subnets and they might need to overlap (if you manage customers networks, it might not have been your decision)
- Nesting subnet - Reserving a large range for a purpose and splitting it up
- Able to change a subnet later e.g splitting it or resizing it
- I dont want any integration in a DHCP nor anything else
- the GUI has to look somewhat decent and not like from 1995
- Multiuser capable
- I need to be able to mark IP Adresses for DHCP not bound by subnets
- I need to be able to just mark an IP as “used” and not be forced to fill in a thousand forms before and registring a device as well. Rather have it marked as used and complete it later, than NOT doing it all if it’s too much of a hassle
- use of a Mysql DB
- Opensource/Free Software
Choice
Out of these requirements I found phpIPAM which looks like what I need. I will add some screenshots in my next post.
