Overview

IPAM module is shipped with provisioning module: IP Provisioning

Enabling module

To enable IP Provisioning (IPAM module needs to be enabled first) 

  • Visit Settings → Modules and activate:
    • IP_Provisioning module - if you plan to provision entire subnets with various sizes (by dividing existing IPAM subnets)
    • IP_Provisioning_Single module - if you plan to provision single (multiple single) IP addresses without dividing subnets into smaller sections
  • You will be redirected to Settings → Apps to setup new connection
  • Provide just name for connection, no other details are required
