    Step 2: Assign the API Key to IPAM Regions

    Once assigned a Radar Geocoding API Key, from the Edit Regions page, click "Geocode API Key". Then select the Radar radio button, paste the API key into the Geocode API dialog, and click "Save". You can test the API Key by clicking the Test button at lower left.

  • Regions created with a valid "Address" (location) field. The "Address" field may be a street address, city, airport code, or geo-coordinates. See Edit Regions for additional detail.

    Note
    titleMiscellaneous Terms as Addresses

    Being that the validity of the "Address" field is determined by the Geocoding 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.

Top-Level Aggregate / Host Utilization Box Overview

Image RemovedImage Added

The Top-Level Aggregate Host Utilization box provides detailed information on that aggregate, including:

  • CIDR: Single-click 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):
    • EditManage Aggregate:  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.
