IP addresses management tool |
|
|
Currenlty using Nortel NET ID for our IP address and DNS management.
What IP addresses management tools are being used and how would you rate
them ?
I am looking into what other choices I would have other than NetID
product that I am currently using.
I was hoping to find an opensource product (do not mind paying something
and for support if a supported version avialable, hopefully something
that does not use oracle or other high priced database, perfer SQL on Linux.
I just need basic IP address management, would like to have
administrative zones but could live without, also like the template
function of NetID.
Would like to be able to tie in DNS (and DDNS) and possible DHCP
although can live without the DHCP support.
Thanks for any help....

I am not aware of any open source IP address management products out there.
We have been using Lucent's VitalQIP for the last five or six years, and
have found it to be a great tool. About two years ago the company I work
for was acquired by and they did not used another product. Since we were
using different systems, we did a analysis of all of the products that were
out there. We did not find any open source products (other than a
spreadsheet, LOL) We ended up staying with QIP because in our opinion, it
was the best product out there for us. Cisco's Network Registrar was a very
good product and pretty inexpensive. Not as sophisticated as QIP, but it
sounds like you are a pretty small shop and this would work well for you.
Google "IP address management" and you will find quite a few reviews. QIP
is just always rated #1 or #2, and it is definitely the Cadillac in this
area.

My employer is also currently seeking a long term IP management
solution and these are some of the products we are looking at.
As far as open source... I would look at IPplan
http://iptrack.sourceforge.net, it looks very promising, seems to do
quite a lot and offer a lot of features you would normally pay big
bucks for.
As far as commercial, I really like the products from www.infoblox.com
and www.bluecatnetworks.com. Both seem to do just about everything you
would ever need. Both offer very scalable solutions and even offer DNS
and DHCP all in one box. I really like the central administration of
these products. |
