Hi All,
Please I like to find out how IPAM works. In my work environment, we just want to start IPAM implementation. Currently, we have IPAM 4.0, and our license details show that the allowed number of used IP Addresses is 1024.
My questions are as follows:
i. What exactly do we need to monitor using IPAM?
ii. How does the license work? Is it one license per IP Address?
iii. In my work environment, a class A subnetwork is used; and it is more than 1024 addresses. With this, I believe that some kind of prioritization has to be taken into consideration in terms of the IP Addresses to manage and why. This is actually my biggest question. What range of IP Addresses do I manage and why? We have DHCP servers, DNS servers, and IP addresses that are used by our server farms, management devices, and a number of branch offices that would continue to increase; these offices make use of IP addresses of a certain range too, all under the class A subnetwork address.
Please, I need detailed advice. Many thanks as you respond.
Regards.
