A tool to assist with managing IP Addresses

[cwindham94]

Hello,

     I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that can manage the IP Addresses of a small company.   Maintaining the old familiar spreadsheet of who have what IP Address is becoming more troublesome that what it is worth.   Basically what I am looking for is something that can keep track of what IPs are available, who has what, what the IP was used for, etc with ease... Input it once and have the ability to view different reports off of that.  Any such tool out there?

Thanks!

Hello Carl,

You can try CiscoWorks LMS in conjunction with User Tracking Utility. Just fill in the clients IP- or MAC Address and you receive the Port Statistics (switchport, duplex, speed,...) as a result.

You can download an evaluation version at http://www.cisco.com/go/lms

Else you can try Orion IP Address Manager http://www.solarwinds.com/products/orion/ip_address_manager/

I do not have any experience with Orion IPAM...
