IP address management for businesses and offices
In many businesses the IP overview lives in one person's head or an old spreadsheet. ipmanager makes it available to the whole IT team – and to the consultant who comes in when something is on fire.
A typical day
The company is opening a branch office connected to head office over VPN. The consultant configuring the firewall needs an address range that does not clash with anything existing, and a list of the servers at head office.
In ipmanager the IT lead sees that 10.2.0.0/16 is free, creates it as the branch office network and shares a search for tag:server with the consultant, who has been given read-only access.
Typical layout
A layout for a business with 50–150 employees and one branch office. Small, clear networks with a VLAN per function, and a different /16 per location so VPN routing stays simple.
| Segment | VLAN | IPv4 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clients | 10 | 192.168.10.0/24 | PCs and phones, DHCP |
| Servers | 20 | 192.168.20.0/26 | Static addresses |
| IP telephony | 30 | 192.168.30.0/25 | QoS, own DHCP pool |
| Printers | 40 | 192.168.40.0/27 | Static addresses |
| Guest Wi-Fi | 50 | 192.168.50.0/24 | Internet only |
| Network management | 99 | 192.168.99.0/28 | Firewall, switches, access points |
| Branch office | – | 10.2.0.0/16 | Over VPN, own /24 per function |
