Due to changes in Google's licensing and Geocoding API, the geolocation method used for Map View in ProVision versions pre-v7.1.0 is no longer supported. A Google Geocoding API Key is now required for geolocation data to be accessible by ProVision, and for IPAM Maps to properly determine a Region's location. As a result, IPAM Map View in versions older than 7.1.0 may not accurately display or update location information. 6connect is exploring adding additional map integration options for ProVision. Any customers who require an alternative geocode option supported apart from Google Geocode API key, please contact us at feedback@6connect.complease contact support. |
Enabling Map View
The IPAM aggregate map view may be enabled / disabled from the IPAM Configuration page. Once enabled, a map module will be able to be expanded in the IPAM Tab.

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 "Google Geocode API Key" and click the "Apply" button.
Regions created with a valid "Address" (location) field. See Edit Regions for additional detail.
Expand title More 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 title Miscellaneous 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.
...
- Manually: Create a new aggregate via the IPAM Tab. See: Working with IP Aggregates.
- Import from RIR: ProVision will automatically identify your RIR / organization and show available aggregates, or you can enter in an ORG ID or IP. See Import Aggregate . Blocks
- Import from .csv: Normalize your data as detailed in Importing Your Data - Normalize your Data, and then use ProVision's IP Import from .csv tool.
...
- For aggregate level actions, like splitting, merging, and editing, see Working with IP Aggregates - Common Tasks .
- RIR Integration requires LIR setup. See LIR Management and Use and RIR Integration: SWIP/-RPSL .
- Editing individual blocks under an aggregate can be done from either IPAM Manage or the IPAM Gadget. See Working with IP Blocks and Working with IP Rules.
