Hiya all.
'Been lurking here for a while now, and actually have something worth saying now!
I'm looking into IP Address Management packages. I've grazed through google, and a few others, and found pointers to many. It seems that there are a few packages that purport to allow people to manage IP Address space, but many of them focus on the integration of DHCP/DNS. Now, for what I'm after at
Solarwinds (solarwinds.net) have a pretty cool suite of tools that include
among others, IP management tools. They cost, but if you have real buisiness
needs they are more cost effective than other commercial solutions (Ci$co
included), and will quickly justify the cost.
Network Address Recovery (This pings all IP address ranges that you tell it
on a predetermined regular period (default 4 Hours), and reports on the last
time an IP address was seen on the network)
There is a sample screen shot @

DHCP Scope Monitor (Requires Micro$soft DHCP and SNMP with obviously NOT
public as the community string)

moment, this isn't an issue, and all I really want is something that can document allocations and what they're used for.
There are some packages that don't exist now, and a couple that have changed hands within the last few years.
An understanding of VLSM/CIDR etc. is required, although maybe not an understanding, but an allowance to docuement super/subnets.
What do you, the contributors to this list use? And yes, I've done the spreadsheet thing to death...
