Time flies and we are here with Beta 4 of IP Address Manager. This time we've added possibility to manage your ISC DHCP services (linux distributions). We have focused on basic use case of ISC management and monitoring which configuration of subnets and pools that can dynamically serve IP addresses to the hosts.
Let's see how you can quickly test that on your environment:
1) add your DHCP server as Node. Go to IP Addresses tab, then DHCP tab and click "Add New DHCP Server":
You will need SSH credentials in order to add your ISC DHCP service into IPAM (marked as ISC credential):
2) Go back to the DHCP tab and wait minute or two till IPAM scans your ISC configuration and bring it into IPAM automatically:
2) You can now operate with your ISC DHCP server and add/remove/edit current subnets and pools, monitor your Shared Network subnets and their utilization or change subnet DHCP options like this:
- select existing subnet and click "Edit" or "Add New subnet".
see your subnet DHCP options:
