We used to use Northstar, but it wasn't being maintained, and had no IPv6 
features. We now use HaCi, which seems to work pretty well. Documentation is 
sparse, but there's a wiki with the basics of how to install and use it. It has 
a nice clean interface, and supports IPv6, which of course is going to be 
important soon. Other than that, it's not very feature-heavy, but uses MySQL as 
a back end, so if you can work with that, it can be very powerful. I managed to 
bolt-on export to our RWHOIS server.

Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Best Ipam software?

Hi,

I recently had to deal with IPAM software vendors. Here is a quick feedback.

It just my 2 cts in the context a mid-sized enterprise network with frequent 
merger (then overlapping subnets carried over a VPN/MPLS).

All of the following piece of software support overlapping subnets through 
containers/views.

- Infoblox
Nice interface and well finished product. If your primary goal is to integrate 
IPAM/DNS/DHCP I think it is a good choice. But I was a bit disappointed with 
the IPAM features compared to the competition. Excellent documentation.

- Efficient IP
Best IPAM I have seen, a real challenger of Infoblox to me: cheaper, fully 
featured but harder to use and GUI no as beautiful as Infoblox. Integration 
with third party component seems thoroughly thought out.
There is a business case with OBS

- BT diamond IP
Felt sick with the quote too, their pricing model is based on the number of so 
called active IP addresses.
However if you need to deploy managed MPLS as much as an ISP does, I think it 
is a very good option.

- BlueCat Networks
Worth a try. I planned to evaluate it I ran out of time.
If you contact your local reseller you could manager to get a fully functional 
but time limited virtual appliance.
So it is with other vendors.

Bästa hälsningar,
