IP Allocation and Management?

Posted by Cliff on from the for-those-of-you-with-IPs-to-spare dept.

jmw asks: "I work for a large[r] regional ISP in the midwest. In the past, and through several acquisitions, we've accumulated a substantial amount of IP space - non contiguous blocks from a /24 up to /19 or more, totaling several thousand IPs. With that many IP's, it's a fairly daunting task to manage, allocate and just keep track of what we have. I'm sure some of you are in, or have been in, similar situations... CVS has been used, but not standardized on.-More people would like to see a pretty web page or the like. For those of you in this situation, what have you done?"

    Look, maybe I won't think you're the most technological person ever, but damn will I be impressed.

    I can help you out of this mess. Just give me all the IPs you don't want to (or can't) manage, and I'll make sure they're well taken care of.
