IPAM

What it does

IPAM (IP Address Management) tracks pools and reservations. Pools can be CIDR (IP space) or numeric ranges (ASN, VLAN, VNI). The system detects overlaps within a scope and lets you jump straight to the conflicting field with Edit this pool.

Required inputs

  • Scope — admin (shared) or user (private).
  • Kind — cidr or range.
  • Name — e.g. dc1-underlay.
  • Role (optional) — e.g. loopback, p2p, mgmt.
  • For CIDR pools: a CIDR like 10.10.0.0/16 or 2001:db8::/32.
  • For range pools: a range_start and range_end (e.g. ASN 65000–65535).

Example output

``` Pool: dc1-underlay (cidr, admin) CIDR: 10.10.0.0/16 Reserved: 248 / 65536 addresses Conflicts: none

Reservation: spine-01 loopback0 → 10.10.0.1/32 ```

When a conflict is found, the side panel highlights the overlapping pool and the offending field is pulsed in red.
