This is a topic for which their are some old posts but I did not find anything recent. A lot of what was being requested in those older posts, with regard to searching, seems to be fixed. I would like to concentrate here on a specific search feature that is still needed.
We have several supernets in IPAM and most only have some subnets in use within the supernet's range. When a staff member is searching for an available subnet to fulfill a request for a subnet, the put in the subnet such as 172.10.21. and no results are returned. Right off one might think this subnet is then available to assign when it actually may be a subnet that falls within the range of a supernet but just is not currently used.
Ideally, the search above should also return any supernet which spans the IP so that an intelligent decision on if the subnet is available can be made based on that search.
Let me also add that the base number for the supernet, say something like 172.10.0.0, is also not searchable. Meaning if I put that full IP into the search box and it is configured in IPAM, it will not come up in the results.
If I am missing something here, please let me know. Otherwise, if you believe in the cause, please vote.
THANKS
Mike
