Just last week, I put together this wish list of an IP management tool that we'd like to have. I'm probably reaching a bit with some of the features but it is still a wish list after all. We manage quite a few clients and we do builds frequently for new clients so any tool which can replace Excel spreadsheets is going to be of great interest. Have already looked at IPPlan, IPAM and a couple others.
1. Manage IP schemes for all clients, regardless of how convoluted said scheme may be. 2. Be able to handle IP collisions between clients for those clients that have overlapping private IP space 3. Flexible reporting based upon criteria such as client, host, subnet, ip address, switch 4. Flexible/extensible/customizable object definitions (different types of IPs such as host, vip, alias etc, different host types) 5. Able to accomodate server NIC, cabling and switch port information 6. Able to link/correlate host/server/device information with IP and cabling information 7. Multiple hostname definitions assignable to a single host 8. Multiple IP assignments to same host 9. Sanity checks such as alerts when assigning the same IP to different hosts, same switch port to different hosts 10. Able to handle tab separated imports and exports to accommodate offsite, static information during a cage build or similar effort. Cost would be a secondary factor if such a tool existed.

Using NorthStar today, looked at IpPlan - Same here (not using NorthStar, but looked at them both), but this probably isn't the right list for it. I haven't seen a CIDR management tool yet that I've liked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
