Managing Lots of IP Addresses?

Posted by Cliff on from the more-than-just-DHCP dept.

haggisbrain asks: "I'm a Systems Administrator and I've recently started work with a new company where I'm now helping to support a much larger number of nodes than I've previously supported. We have just over 1000 nodes to support, but no efficient method to manage the IP addresses and subnets used. Previously, an Excel Spreadsheet has been sufficient enough for my needs, but now I need to find a new way. Can someone recommend a piece of software which can help me? Is there a simple way to list and view the IP addresses used on my network?"

    Look@Lan It's a great little tool once you have it configured. It even will produce those nifty excel files for you if you wish. But man... I HATE that sonar sound effect. It's worse than the "UH OH!" sound made infamous by ICQ.

    This question has come up once or twice before.

    The usual suspects for answers to this question are as follows:

    NorthStar, which is quite feature rich. "NorthStar is a system to help track and allocate blocks in an IP Network"

    IPplan which is another open source product.

    And PHPip

    If you want to go commercial VitalQIP Enterprise could suit your needs quite well.
