Group Creation in IPAM and onboarding subnets in bulk

ankita.gupta Sep 24, 2018 10:33 AM

Hi,

I have like around 750 subnets which need to be onboarded in IPAM V4.7 and requires grouping as well, where subnets need to be added in there respective groups. As this is a hell of a manual task. can anyone help me, if there is any option in IPAM to onboard subnets and group creation in bulk simultaneously.

Thanks.

You can manually create necessary groups, and then using API IPAM 4.7 API · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub create subnets in bulk

  Yes and no. Using the API you can only create subnet objects (not supernets or groups) and subnets are limited to /17 (if I remember correctly). So anything larger than a /17 needs to be created manually (as a supernet) or by inserting directly into the DB. This could be solved if the GroupType field would be editable via the API (sadly, it is not).
  
  Also, importing the whole structure into IPAM can be a bit of a pain as well. We migrated from another solution and had to import 14K+ subnets into IPAM. It took a few months to write the necessary PowerShell code and reverse engineer some of the IPAM processes.

    Maybe at some point I will get around to structuring my code and creating a PS module that could be useful to others that know the pain of migrating to IPAM
