RE: IP Address Management Tool
I am looking for a management tool which can support BGP Communities/MPLS Tags. And also support conflicting address space uniqued by MPLS RD/RT tags. (For layer3 VPNs). Any ideas? -Original Message- From: D C [mailto:cassel...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, 2 June 2010 1:08 a.m. To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: IP Address Management Tool I am looking for a better way to manage IP addresses.

We've found RackTables[1] to meet our needs in IP address management. It also includes some asset management and rack organizing as well (we do, however, have it deployed in one case primarily for the IP address management).

RE: IP Address Management Tool
One of our engineers has started playing with dcTrack from Raritan; he quite likes it so far. It primarily manages information about data centers, like power draw, physical layout, and cable connections. It also provides a change management system tied to power / cabling requirements. In addition to all of that, it will also manage IP addresses. :) http://www.raritan.com/products/infrastructure-management/dctrack/ It is neither open source nor freely available software. It may be (okay, it's likely to be) overkill for your environment. Then again, if a spreadsheet isn't cutting the mustard, you may have other needs along with IP address management.

I used to use IPplan, but the author was dead set against IPv6 support: One feature request that comes up from time to time is IPv6. Adding IPv6 support will require major effort but has such a limited audience. Ironically the only people that ever requested IPv6 support are either from Telcos, ISP's or government departments, yet they are never interested in contributing resources! I deam them parasites of the Open Source world - leaching off the good will and effort of the Open Source community, yet give nothing in return. This has since been removed from the site, but it gave me a good idea about how the author felt about IPv6 so I stopped using it. I ended up moving to HaCi and it's suited my needs. ~Seth
Re: IP Address Management Tool
He has since reversed that stance and they are working on IPV6 support, at least that is what I read somewhere. I don¹t blame the guy really. If people want a feature they should pony up a little money. Otherwise it is free software with no implied support. -- Justin Wilson j...@mtin.net http://www.mtin.net/blog Wisp Consulting Tower Climbing Network Support From: Seth Mattinen se...@rollernet.us Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2010 09:07:23 -0700 To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: IP Address Management Tool On 6/1/10 6:07 AM, D C wrote: I am looking for a better way to manage IP addresses.

At the time the author felt it should be an advanced paid-for feature. I treat commercial vendors the same way: no IPv6, no sale. That nastygram made me not want to donate (money or code) to IPplan. One shouldn't get into open source expecting money. The world moves forward and what is seen as a minimum requirement is eventually going to move with it. ~Seth
