Hi
I'm looking for a new IP-Management tool. Currently we are using IPPlan, which does mainly what we like, but is not very easy to use.
What we like to do:
- IPv4 Subnet Allocation to Customers - IPv6 Subnet Allocation to Customers - Single IP documentation within Subnets - See free Space - See usage ratio of Subnets and Blocks - Export for RIPE database would be nice
Does somebody of you use something like this or can recommend a tool.
Regards
Matthias
Hi Matthias, hi all,
I've searched something like this during years at VTX and finally we develop internally our own tool.
I've also tried NorthStar in the past with Nicolas Strina. It's an open source project but there was a lot of bugs and the project seems abandoned...
So, I can't help you, sorry. But I'm still interested if anybody knows something working well. :)
Regards, Jerome

We also spent some weeks searching for a tool and finally installed IPPlan. Seems to be the only free (and useable) alternative to managing IP addresses on a Spreadsheet...

why not to use the whois database from ripe ?
http://www.ripe.net/db/cvs-bugzilla.html
scalable, stable, and a mailinglist.

I cannot speak for all, but as for us, we want to manage ALL IPs in one tool - even the RFC1918 IPs for internal use.
Kind regards, Viktor

that is not a limit ip is ip ..private or public or mcast..whatever this are just numbers.
you can set up the ripe whois database server as you like. So there are no limits. You have a mail interface webinterface and every tool to query on port 43, and a solutions to sync your stuff with the ripe whois database server, it is called sync updates.
this are pro tools if you know what i mean, and of course opensource.
here are the docs: http://www.ripe.net/db/docs.html
have fun and luck to find your solution :) wish you a nice day

Michael,
Are you using this setup? Sounds interesting. What kind of Webinterface do you use ? Have not found anything in the Source of the whois server.

Yes i use it for our company and i implemented it on some other company's.
i think this is the perl script:
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/tools/whois_cgi-1.04.tar.gz
the webinterfaces is the same as the following: https://www.db.ripe.net/fcgi-bin/webupdates.pl
Download path: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/
if you are interested in implementation of this software you can contact me offlist.

- even the RFC1918 IPs for internal use.
also AS numbers, VLAN numbers, RD, RT, VRF names in an MPLS network, BGP communities,.... in the end, port numbers on your switches ;-)
Probably Michael is right, RIPE DB is the only professional open source tool able to do that.
Actually many commercial tools aren't doing it well either. EasyIP is just one example :-)
Also it's quite clear why there aren't many open source tool of good quality: programmers don't understand IP networking, and network engineers (in general) cannot develop software of good quality :-)
i've developed our own tool in cybernet/swisscom for this since all the open source tools were to unhandy or buggy. currently i'm adding RIPE support to it and maybe i'll publish it as open source ,-)
