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.

    What an annoying comment....perhaps a troll.

    Asking slashdot is informative for everyone. Sure, google may turn up a few thousand hits, but there may still be some gems hidden in there that slashdot can provide links to.

    Maybe people will find a new version/product that they didn't know they wanted/needed.
