IPAM Gadget Features

The IPAM Gadget is accessed from the Resource Entry Page → IPAM Gadget, once it has been enabled for the section. Here, you can:

• View only the blocks assigned/assigned-and-subassignable under the Resource that you are currently viewing.
• Sort and Filter the block list
• Advanced assignment functions - Direct Assign, Smart Assign, and Smart browse with additional field criterial criteria available.
• Perform single and multi-block edit, and assign subassignable blocks.

Both IPAM Manage and the IPAM Gadget have customizable column names, order, and visibility, as well as options for user-defined meta columns (for details on setting up customization of the IPAM Manage / IPAM Gadget block list, see IPAM Parameters → Edit Columns).

The Action Menu contains the following options:

• Edit: Opens the blocks "Edit Attributes" page, used to add, change, or remove data associated with a block. Can also be opened by double clicking on a block's row.

• Split: Splits the selected single block into two equal smaller blocks, of the next smallest mask, e.g. a /24 will be split into two /25s. The Split option is not available for blocks that are already of the smallest available size ( IPv4 /32s or IPv6 /128s), for blocks in "Holding", or for blocks that are already assigned and do not have subassignments enabled. If more than one level of splitting is needed, use "Templates - Auto Split" instead. 

• Merge: The opposite of Split. Merge combines two blocks of equal size into the next largest mask, e.g., two /25s will be merged into one /24. Merge is only available for adjacent blocks of the same size that are "Available", in "Holding", or is subassignable.

• Assign: Assigns the block to a ProVision Resource, making it unavailable for other assignment actions and certain block actions (unless edited to be subassignable).

• Move: Moves IP Blocks from one resource to another without the need to pass through either the Holding or Available status.

• Unassign: Unassigns the Resource from the current block, and moves the block into the Holding Tank. The block may then be eligible for certain actions such as direct assignment, merge, and split - but not for automated assignments until it is removed from Holding and regains the "Available" status. Unassigning a subassigned block will first place the block in "Holding", and then restore it to the parent assignment. (Tip: You can "Unassign" twice in a row to bypass "Holding", or select "Unassign, Skip Holding".)

• Unassign, Skip Holding: Unassigns the Resource from the current block, and bypasses the Holding Tank, restoring the block to "Available" status (or to the parent assignment if the block was subassigned). 

• RIR Integration: Provides SWIP/RPSL functions for ARIN and RIPE blocks through simple reassigns, sending the updated block assignment information back to the coordinating RIR (ARIN or RIPE). See LIR Management and Use and RIR Integration: SWIP/RPSL.

• IP Rules: Create or Associate an IP Rule to the block to reserve portions of the block from assignment. See IPAM Rules.

• Templates: Provides options to 'Auto-Split' a standard block (that is available for standard "split" functionality) down to a certain mask and limit, or "Clean Up"(Auto-merge) a Parent Block to a certain mask level. 

• Logs: Shows recent log event actions associated with that block.

• Configure NAT: Only displays for NAT'ed blocks. Configures the NAT'ed block to the selected router.

• Email: If a Contact is associated with the Resource assigned to the block, an email form with display to email the Contact with the template options provided in Admin Settings.
