Network / IPAM

CMDB includes an IP Address Management (IPAM) module for tracking subnets, IP addresses, and VLANs across client environments. Link IP addresses to CIs and VLANs for a complete network inventory.

Subnets

Track network segments with CIDR notation:

Creating a Subnet

1. Navigate to Network in the sidebar
2. Select the Subnets tab
3. Click New Subnet
4. Fill in:
   • Network — CIDR notation (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24)
   • Name — descriptive label (e.g., "Office LAN - Main")
   • Gateway — default gateway IP
   • VLAN ID — associated VLAN (optional)
   • IP Version — IPv4 or IPv6
   • Location — physical or logical location
   • Company — client this subnet belongs to
   • Description — additional context
5. Click Save

Subnet Usage

Each subnet tracks total_addresses and used_addresses so you can monitor utilization at a glance. Subnets approaching full utilization need attention before new devices cause address conflicts.

IP Addresses

Track individual IP assignments within subnets:

Creating an IP Address Record

1. Select the IP Addresses tab
2. Click New IP Address
3. Fill in:
   • Address — the IP address
   • Subnet — parent subnet
   • Status — available, in_use, reserved, or dhcp
   • CI — link to the configuration item using this IP (optional)
   • Hostname — associated hostname
   • MAC Address — network interface MAC
4. Click Save

IP Status Types

Status	Meaning
Available	Unassigned, can be allocated
In Use	Currently assigned to a device
Reserved	Held for a specific purpose (static assignment, future use)
DHCP	Managed by DHCP server — may change

💡

Link IP addresses to CIs for a complete picture. When you open a CI's detail page, you'll see its IP assignment. When you view an IP address, you'll see which CI is using it.

VLANs

Track VLAN configurations:

Creating a VLAN

1. Select the VLANs tab
2. Click New VLAN
3. Fill in:
   • VLAN ID — numeric identifier (1-4094)
   • Name — descriptive name (e.g., "Guest WiFi", "Server VLAN")
   • Description — purpose and configuration notes
   • Company — client
   • Location — physical site
   • Tags — additional categorization
4. Click Save

Network Documentation

Combine IPAM data with CMDB documents:

1. Create a diagram document type for each client's network topology
2. Reference subnet and VLAN details in the diagram
3. Link the document to the relevant network device CIs
4. Use the topology map to visualize how network devices interconnect
