Hi everybody,
Can anybody share his/her experience with IP Management software's? Which I
can use it managing near 100K IP Address?
IPPlan is not good enough, I think its covering all my need and not fully
flexible.
If you have discuss this before here please share me the link.
Thanks

Hi Shahab,
Look at the archives for NANOG - there are plenty of solutions.
You might want to look at:
- Netdot: https://osl.uoregon.edu/redmine/projects/netdot
- TIPP: http://tipp.tobez.org/
Cheers,

Try noc project

Check out 6connect.

I've been impressed by InfoBlox. Main factor behind that is the good
integration between DHCP, IP address management and DNS. If you only
need IP address management, there probably are other solutions. Also,
I've seen no integration with RIR registries. Pricey, as well. We moved
from IPPlan, and are a lot happier. In spite of above.
Hi,
Would you please tell me what is the advantages of noc-project?
It takes hours to install it and it looks like a software with lots of bugs?
I have it now but many problems in their scripts, Isn't it?
Thanks
We use Men & Mice, but it is a commercial product. Solarwinds
andInfoblox also have commercial offerings that are worth looking at.
Ifyou looking at an IPAM platform with emphasis on IPv6, check
outwww.6connect.com. They offer a free product that is
prettycomprehensive.

I am looking for an open source one, nocproject.org is good but it need
lots of patches to be normal, I think they are not developing it too much
because its internal project for them.
Infoblox is pretty nice but not a stand-alone IPAM solution. It's bundled DNS, DHCP, and IPAM.
6Connect definitely has a nice IPAM solution, right now more tailored for service providers but it's linked to the regional registries and helps you do requests for address space, etc. I think they're working on an enterprise-based version as well.

In that case, there aren't too many options. I have used IPPLAN in
the past, and I have found it difficult to use and manage. Most of
the other open source IPAM packages are now vaporware.

Like, TIPP or Netdot ?
Unfortunately, netdot is a complete curse to install. It's not necessarily
a bad idea to use the preinstalled VM image, although I don't know how they
intend to deal with upgrade.
Once it's up and running, it actually works quite well. Certainly a lot
better than nocproject (which looks like it could be awesome in lots of
other ways, if only I could figure out how on earth to use it...).
I built myself a freebsd Port for netdot 0.99, which I really ought to do
something about like getting it put into the ports tree. The dependency
list is pretty astounding, but it does work. When some copious free time
appears (any day now), I'll get around do doing something with it..

I'd love 6connect if they supported VRF in some fashion. The only
decent tool (in the foss/inexpensive corner of the market) I've found
so far which supports multiple overlapping address space for VRF
management (and enforcing uniqueness within VRF) is nocproject which
has it's own set of quirks/problems. I can kind of fake it in 6connect
with tags and adding duplicate blocks, but then I'm doing a lot of
legwork on the human side to make sure the blocks are actually unique
within VRF.
Racktables seems pretty decent, and it's open source. Seems to still be alive, too!
I have been playing phpipam as a replacement for ipplan.. Support for
IPv6, VRF and VLAN tracking as well. My only limiting factor has been
that it only supports 2 levels of subnet nesting..
