IPAM CLI interface

Overview

The IPAM CLI is a command-line tool for managing IP address assignments and performing reverse DNS operations.

Usage

Run the CLI from your installation admin directory. For example:

Available Operations (Required):

1. defaultptr

   • Retrieves a list of unassigned IPs without PTR.

   • Sets default PTR records for all unused/unassigned IP addresses.

2. pullrdns

   • Fetches current PTR records from the configured DNS server.

   • Updates related IPAM entries to ensure the IPAM table remains up to date.

   • Works with HostBill DNS modules (e.g., PowerDNS), allowing customers to manage PTR records from the client area and staff members to manage them from the IPAM UI.

3. pushrdns

   • Pushes PTR records from IPAM to the configured DNS server.

   • Ensures that the DNS server reflects the current PTR records configured within IPAM.

   • Works with HostBill DNS modules to facilitate seamless synchronization.

Available Options (Optional):

• --subnet_id=<id>: Process a specific subnet ID.

• --ip_limit=<limit>: Set a limit on the number of IPs processed.
