Module availability for IP address space management

The manufacturer of the Russian IT and telecom monitoring system, INITIs LLC, on March 9, 2022 announced the availability of a module for managing IP address space (IPAM).

This module records networks and IP addresses, automatically compiles subnet hierarchies when devices are detected, and creates scopes based on collectors, VRFs, and VLANs.

IPAM scans networks without creating device models, detects and generates an IP address conflict alarm on the network.

With IPAM, you can create both automatic and manual distribution of networks by scope. This displays in context the maps of the model networks and their containers in IPAM and provides visualization of the busy network resources.

And also, the features of the module include a quick transition to the device and interface from the network map and the prevailing network details - control and elimination of operator errors.

For its operation, the module uses autodiscover results (standard functionality of INITIs SOLO software). This significantly reduces the number of manual operations and performs objective control and accounting of IP network elements.
