New Features

(CFR denotes customer requested)

IPAM Rules

CFR-113: Add IPAM Rules system to automatically exclude certain IP addresses from an IP Range so that they cannot be assigned with either Smart Assign or Direct Assign.

IPAM Rules allows users to exclude IP addresses from being assigned based on the address position in the block (ie, first address, last address, nth from last).

  • Access from IPAM Manage, in the block's Action Menu
  • Set reserved addresses by position in block: 
    • the first position is '1', second is '2', and so forth. 
    • the last position is '0', next from last is '-1', then '-2', and so on. 
    • May reserve one or multiple positions in a rule. 
  • Only one rule may be applied per block
  • Admin users may view all existing IPAM Rules, the blocks affected by each rule, and delete rules.


Disable VLAN

CFR-112: Add "Disable" / "Reclaim" VLAN to domains (API Only).

 An API parameter "enabled" has been added to the VLAN "Update" endpoint to disable VLANs that have previously been enabled for a Domain.

 

In addition:

  • An "enabled" field has been added to the VLAN table, and is now used to check if a VLAN is enabled or disabled
  • The 5.3.0 upgrade script will update currently enabled VLANs to set enabled as true

To enable / disable a VLAN via the "Update" endpoint, set the parameter "enabled" to "true" or "false", respectively, after providing the required id. 

Example: /api/v1/api.php?target=vlan&action=update&id=41438&enabled=false

For details on the VLAN update endpoint, see API Module - VLAN - (update)
