The IPAM tab provides a listing of top-level aggregate blocks, tools to add, merge, sparse allocate, and manage aggregates, as well as multiple data visualizations. The blocks under each aggregate may be individually assigned, edited, swip'ed, and managed from the IPAM Manage page for the aggregate. For detailed information on specific aggregate and block tasks, see Working with IP AggregatesWorking with IP Blocks, and Working with IP Rules. For administrative level tasks, see IPAM Administration.

The VLAN tab (Admin only) shows an overview of Domains and VLANs on the left sidebar, and IPAM Utilization data organized by each Domain / VLAN pair. From here, Admins may enabled VLANs for domains, edit VLANs, add/remove VLAN associations with blocks, and Browse VLAN Manage (similar to IPAM Manage). See VLAN Administration and Working with the VLAN Manager for details.

    titleHow to Get and Apply a Google Geocoding API Key

    Step 1: Obtain a Google Geocoding API Key

    To get a Google Geocoding API Key, follow the instructions listed here:

    How to get a Google Geocoding API Key

    Note: In order to obtain a Google Geocoding API Key, a company must have a subscription enabled to Google Cloud Platform Console. 

    Step 2: Assign the API Key to IPAM Regions

    Once assigned a Google Geocoding API Key, paste the API key into the IPAM regions page under "Apply google geocode api keypage under "Google Geocode API Key" and click the "AssignApply" button.

  • Regions created with a valid "Address" (location) field. See Edit Regions for additional detail.

    titleMore Information on valid Addresses...

    The "Address" field may be a street address, city, airport code, or geo-coordinates. 

    Valid addresses (according to Google's API) will show a green check mark next to the address field, invalid addresses (unable to be mapped) will show a yellow exclamation mark. 

    Note
    titleMiscellaneous Terms as Addresses

    Being that the validity of the "Address" field is determined by Google's API, unexpected location mapping may occur if a company name or other non-location specific term is used in the Address field.

    Google treats the item as a search term and returns the most likely location result back - but it might not be what you were expecting! When in doubt, check the address term by pasting it into Google Search, and verify that the top result returns your desired location.



  • Regions enabled in IPAM Columns and assigned to aggregates / blocks for the IPAM Map view to populate data. See Edit IP Block Attributes for additional detail.

...

  • CIDR: Links to IPAM Manage for the aggregate
  • RIR information: displays the aggregate's RIR, as set at creation (1918, ARIN, RIPE, LACNIC, AfriNIC, APNIC)
  • Aggregate Chart Views: Four Aggregate chart views are available, - PieBarTree, and Grid view. Switch between each chart by clicking on the respective icons in the Aggregate header (marked above). 
  • Aggregate Actions (Gear Icon):
    • Edit: Opens IPAM Manage for the aggregate. See Working with IP Blocks for information on working in IPAM Manage. Clicking on the Block CIDR in the header also opens the IPAM Manage page.
    • Delete: Deletes the Aggregate (provides a warning).
    • Enable / Disable Sparse Allocation (IPv6 only): Enable or disable Sparse Allocation for an IPv6 aggregate. Enabling will automatically generate a Numbering Authority Sparse Allocate Domain for use with the aggregate. 
    • Sparse Allocate (IPv6 only): Appears only when Sparse Allocation is enabled for an IPv6 aggregate. Opens a menu to select or create a resource to assign a block to, using the sparse allocate algorithm to disperse the assignment(s) throughout the aggregate. See: Working with IP Aggregates
  • Region(s): Displays the primary region(s) associated with the aggregate, either at aggregate creation or from regions associated with blocks under that aggregate. Clicking on the region link for an aggregate will open IPAM Manage for the aggregate, filtered to view blocks associated with that region.
  • Utilization: Utilization displayed as both a pie chart and detailed percentages. Utilization statuses include:
    • Available: A status of "Available" indicates the block is free and able to immediately be assigned or allocated to a resource.
    • Allocated: Allocated blocks have been assigned to an overarching resource, but have subassignments enabled and may have smaller blocks assigned out of them to other Resources, such as customers or DHCP Pools. 
    • Assigned: A status of "Assigned" indicates that the block has been assigned to a Resource, with no subassignment capability, and is unavailable.
    • Holding: Blocks in "Holding" have recently been unassigned, and are held for a set duration in the IPAM Holding Tank, unless otherwise overridden, reassigned, or reclaimed from Holding.
  • Resources: The top five Resources assigned under that aggregate with the most assigned block space.
  • Recent Assignments: The five most recent block assignments under that aggregate, with the CIDR, assigned resource link, and assignment date.
