1745.0. "IP/Subnet management tool?" by WOTVAX::pc0653.olo.dec.com::Tim_Banks () Wed Jan 29 1997 12:11

I know this is not strictly a firewall topic, but folk who read this
conference may have come across this.....

Has anyone come across a software/application tool for managing the 
allocation of IP addresses and subnets?  I need this for a global customer 
project I am working on, so that we can keep a central record of address 
allocation, but distribute the allocation function to regional network 
managers.

This is more than DNS.  I would want to be able to record IP address/mask, 
host name, MAC address (if applicable), LAN name, site code, user (if 
applicable), host type (PC/W95, Server W/NT, Unix, AS/400, router)

I have some ideas of how to write one using Web Browsers, SQL and a 
database of some kind, but I have a gut feel that I am re-inventing the 
wheel.

        Thanks

                Tim
