How to choose an IP address management solution
When it comes to selecting an IP address management solution, factors to consider include the size of your organization, budget, and scalability.
One factor is the size of your organization and network. If you’re a small business operating with fewer than 10 to 15 devices, you might be able to get by with tracking how you assign IP addresses, and each address’ associated device and user, using a spreadsheet. This doesn’t cost as much as paid IP management software tools, but it carries the downside of not providing the powerful network insights IPAM solutions offer.
Another consideration is budget. IT departments and network engineers with limited funds can consider open-source or freeware options. Many of these programs will include the essential features listed above, but open-source programs often lack the technical support and troubleshooting paid options offer. Taking this route is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than opting for paid IP management tools supported by the software publisher’s dedicated support team.
For most businesses, choosing an appropriate IP address management system means choosing a paid solution with easy-to-use features, customer support, and scalability. Especially for companies experiencing growth, it’s critical to have an effective IP address management system in place that will be able to meet the demands of larger networks and a greater number of connected devices.

IP address management requirements
IP address management is a complicated and complex task, and to provide effective management, there are certain features and capabilities to seek out when looking for an IP management tool.
Automatic IP address tracking. Put an end to IP tracking spreadsheets. With software, you can actively manage IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Integrated DNS, DHCP, and IP management. With active scanning, you can discover and manage subnets along with associated address blocks. Easily view transient IP addresses to identify (and reclaim) abandoned IPs.
Alerting, troubleshooting, and reporting. You need tools that let you monitor IP address usage and issues. Leverage alerts and reports to catch and fix IP conflicts, subnet/scope depletion, and mismatched DNS entries.
Multi-vendor support. Save time and avoid errors by using a single console to manage DHCP and DNS servers. Choose a tool compatible with Microsoft, Cisco, BIND DNS, and ISC DHCP servers. It’s useful to gain insight into scopes, DNS zones, and resource records.
Automatic static IP address requests. Choose a tool that lets you quickly reserve static IP addresses. You can also track IP requests for compliance or change management, as needed.
API support. You can look for API support offering “Create, Read, Update, Delete” (CRUD) operations, providing integration with third-party software. This feature can help automate the handling of IP records or DNS entries.
Virtual environment integration. Look for IP address management that extends to VMware environments, so you can automate IP address provisioning and update DNS records on virtual machines.
Cloud DNS monitoring. With an IP management tool, you can centralize how you monitor AWS and Azure zones and records.

Easily search a range of IP addresses
Using an IP range scanner, admins can set a specified range of addresses to automatically discover active IP addresses within that range. This can be especially useful within large subnets. IPAM helps admins detect used devices through Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ping sweeps. With this feature, admins can quickly search for a defined range of IP addresses across managed nodes and poll devices for response time, status, and availability.
IPAM offers control over IP range scanning—admins can use Orion Polling Settings to set schedules separately for nodes, interfaces, and volumes.

4.) Database installation
You can install required database scheme in 3 ways:
a) Automatic database installation
On phpipam installation page select automatic installation, enter mysql details and click install. For mysql user/pass enter details for user, that has permissions to create new databases and grant permission (e.g. root).
b) mysql import
You can manually import sql SCHEMA file via mysql’s cli, but first you need to create database and grant user permission (replace user/pass with one you set in config.php):
# mysql -u root -p Enter password: mysql> create database phpipam; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> GRANT ALL on phpipam.* to phpipam@localhost identified by ‘phpipamadmin’; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> exit Bye
Once this is in place, you can import SCHEMA.sql file with following command:
mysql -u root -p phpipam < db/SCHEMA.sql
c) manual query import
Third method is a copy/paste method of SQL queries. First create database and grant user permission (take a look at step b), then copy contents of SCHEMA.sql file into mysql and you should be good to go.
This method is useful in case you have some problems with installation, as you can see where it goes wrong!
Why is IP address management software important?
IP address management can be complicated, time-consuming, and an ineffective use of resources if manually performed—especially at organizations with lots of network devices. Manual IP address management requires administrators to accurately track which addresses are assigned to which devices, if the IPs addresses are static or dynamic, and whether any IP addresses have been reserved.
At small organizations, a spreadsheet can be used to manage most of this information if the number of devices connected remains about the same, but as companies grow and expand, it becomes difficult—if not impossible—to effectively manage IP addresses.
Using software to manage IP addresses is beneficial because many of these solutions can assist in the process of organizing and tracking subnets, which can be helpful if you’re responsible for managing multiple subnets simultaneously. For these reasons, IP management tools are an important part of troubleshooting and avoiding potential network conflicts.
IP management software is useful for gathering information about and assessing the general health of a network. IP management tools display useful information in a centralized user console that allows admins to see the devices associated with IP addresses and when the addresses were assigned. This can be used to avoid problems like network outages, as IPAM solutions give admins the ability to quickly locate the IP addresses causing issues.
IP management tools can also gather information necessary for legal or regulatory compliance reporting. The source of data breaches, or other issues causing flow-on effects, can be identified using IP management software. These applications can also be paired with network access control to beef up the security of your network, as information collected by IP management tools can indicate if security software is up to date and operating as intended. IPAM software can also be used to identify unusual traffic patterns on the network or changes in IP addresses signaling of malicious activity or a breach.
2: Установка phpIPAM
Официальные инструкции по установке предлагают два метода установки phpIPAM: загрузка тарбола из репозитория SourceForge проекта или клонирование проекта из его репозитория GitHub. Чтобы упростить последующие обновления, воспользуемся последним методом.
По умолчанию Git выполняет клонирование только в существующий пустой каталог. С помощью команды ls просмотрите содержимое каталога для Apache:
Если в каталоге хранятся какие-то файлы, используйте основные команды навигации и управления файлами Linux, чтобы очистить его. Команда mv перемещает содержимое в другое место, а rm полностью удаляет файлы.
Теперь клонируйте проект Git в каталог.
Вывод указывает каталог, в который клонируется пакет, и затем представляет отчет о процессе в реальном времени (включая количество пакетов, которые нужно скопировать, и количество скопированных в итоге пакетов).
Приложение phpIPAM установлено на сервер, но пока для запуска ему не хватает модулей PHP. Их можно установить с помощью apt-get.
Дополнительные пакеты включают PHP модуль GNU Multiple Precision для работы с целыми числами произвольной длины, модуль Multibyte String для обработки языков, которые не могут быть выражены в 256 символах, фреймворк PEAR для поддержки многократно используемых компонентов PHP и модуль GD для обработки изображений.
Перезапустите Apache:
Теперь можно настроить phpIPAM.
Automatically scan the entire network
If you rely on spreadsheets or other insufficient tools, scanning an entire network for IP addresses and issues can eat up valuable time. Leveraging IPAM as your IP network scanner enables you to scan your entire network automatically on an ongoing basis. Use IPAM to monitor and manage DHCP servers, DNS servers, and IP addresses from a single interface.
IPAM also allows you to manage your Infoblox environment, VMware, and cloud resources, and allows you to scan your network while leveraging user-defined fields like asset tag and serial number to facilitate precise network device management.

Бесконечность – не предел. История Advanced Software Engineer
Если представить себе типичный карьерный путь разработчика, какой он? Наверное, специалист пройдёт все ступени от Junior до Lead или Chief. А что потом? Мы уже много рассказывали в нашем блоге, что в EPAM у инженера есть условно два пути — пойти в Solution Architect (SA) или стать менеджером (Delivery, Resource, Project). Но некоторых ни один из них не устраивал. В итоге получалось, что талантливые разработчики застревали на одной позиции, и как бы они дальше ни развивались и ни углублялись в технологию, их талант оставался незамеченным. В прошлом году компания открыла новую тропинку на карте карьерных путей — Advanced Software Engineer (ASE).
Конечно, роль ASE — это не новое слово в ИТ. В некоторых компаниях, в том числе продуктовых, где используется система грейдов, можно встретить такую роль (обычно она называется Principal Developer). Чтобы лучше понять, кто такой ASE, что они делают и зачем они нужны компании, я расспросила «продвинутых» инженеров первой волны, что значит быть ASE. Рассказываю обо всём по порядку.
How IP address management tools work
IP address management tools help admins and network engineers determine whether an IP address is available on a given network. IP management software tools can periodically scan subnets and report on the availability status of IP addresses for each subnet. IPAM software also allows engineers and admins to search for IP addresses or ranges of IP addresses to determine availability, or whether certain addresses are reserved. Input from multiple subnets is essential, as this enables the IP management software to scan the entire network for the status of all IP addresses.
Assigning IP addresses can be done via static or dynamic methods. Static IP addressing involves manually setting each IP address and the IP networking parameters for each device. This process is error-prone and somewhat labor-intensive but is commonly used for small ranges of IP addresses or for a limited number of devices. You might also consider using static addressing in situations where total control of IP addresses is key, as is often the case with servers.
Dynamic IP addressing, on the other hand, automates the process. DHCP, for instance, has each connected device request an IP address from the DHCP server, after which it will automatically assign an IP address to the device and configure its network parameters. These IP addresses are assigned for a predetermined time, after which the IP address is returned to the pool of available addresses. Devices can, however, renew their lease on an address if needed. While dynamic addressing is a largely automated process, oversight from network engineers and admins is still required to ensure proper management of IP addresses and correct configuration of the DHCP server.
IP management tools are built to help you manage these processes from a centralized user interface with other functions, including report generation, performance management, and DHCP and DNS integration.
