See IPAM Tab for additional details on working with IPAMv2.
IM - 2648: The DHCP Tab has been updated to support DHCP Groups, an improved interface, and improved backend functionality. See DHCP Tab for details on working with the updated DHCP system.
Three new DHCP areas have been added - DHCP Groups, DHCP Servers, and DHCP Pool List. A fourth area, DHCP Logging, links directly to the Admin Logging Tab.
The DHCP Groups page allows you to group DHCP Pools the same way ProVision allows zones under DNS Groups.
Create DHCP Groups by clicking the "Add Group" Button, then add subnet or host pools under the group by clicking "Add Pool" for the desired Group. Pools may be pushed individually, as a part of a DHCP Group, or through pushing an entire DHCP Server.
In the Pool list, clicking on the Pool name will open a pool details page to edit assignment, range, settings, reservations, or servers. Clicking on the pool Subnet will open IPAM Mange for the assigned pool block.
Additional DHCP Group options exist under "Attached Servers", where you can manage which server(s) is attached to the Group, and "Group Settings", where a Parent Resource and Failover name may be set.
Refer to the Working with DHCP Groups documentation for additional information.
The DHCP Servers page shows a list of DHCP servers, created via the "Add Server" button. Supported server types are ISC BIND or Cisco Prime Network Registrar. During server creation, you may select to attach it to a DHCP group, or leave it unattached.
DHCP servers may be pushed or deleted directly from the Sever list. Clicking on the server name will open the Server Details page, where settings may be edited, directly connected pools viewed, server pushes performed, or server scanned.
Refer to the Working with DHCP Servers documentation for additional details.
The DHCP Pools list provides the same pool-level functionality as the DHCP Groups pool lists, but includes all pools regardless of Group attachment. New subnet or host Pools may be added by clicking "Add Pool".
Clicking on the Pool name will open a pool details page to edit assignment, range, settings, reservations, or servers. Clicking on the pool Subnet will open IPAM Mange for the assigned pool block.
See Working with DHCP Pools for additional information.
IM - 2946 Updated the Peering tab to support Peering v2, including new peering pages, improved UI, and direct data connections to Peering DB.
Peering v2 has an improved backend, interfacing with Peering DB's new API. Users may chose to use PeeringDBs "main" or "beta" systems, by editing PeeringDB_URL in ProVision's global configs.
ASN validation and handling has been improved.
Users now need to specify a PeeringDB account (set in Admin-> Peering settings) to connect with PeeringDB information.
The peering interface has been updated with new subtabs: IXs (Exchanges), Routers, Sessions, and Peers. Additional detailed information pages are available from each of these subtabs.
See Peering for additional information.
The Exchanges subtab shows the list of exchanges current set in ProVision, with IP type, city, peers, and session counts.
The Routers subtab is where routers may be added and managed. Routers are divided into two lists - those with Peer Groups, and those without.
The Sessions subtab is where current sessions may be added, managed, and updated.
The Peers subtab lists existing peers, and allows for you to search for new peers to add via the "Add Peer" button.
