IPAM

Device42's IP Address Management (IPAM) module lets you track and manage IP addresses, subnets, VLANs, VRF groups, DNS records, switch ports, and NAT mappings across your network infrastructure.

This section covers how to organize your address space with VRF groups and VLANs, manage subnets and individual IP addresses, configure DNS zones and records, and work with switch port connectivity. Most IPAM data is populated automatically through network discovery, but you can also add and edit entries manually.

Discover IP Addresses​

Device42 can discover IP addresses and related network information through several methods:

  • Network SNMP Discovery: Discover subnets, IP-to-MAC address relationships, and MAC-to-switch-port connectivity.
  • Windows and Hyper-V Discovery: Discover Windows, Linux, and UNIX devices on your network, including their IP and MAC address details.
  • Ping Sweep: Keep your IP address records up to date by sweeping address ranges for active hosts.

Import IP Addresses​

You can import existing IP address data from Microsoft Excel or CSV spreadsheets. See Importing Data From Existing Spreadsheets for instructions.
