IPAM Release Notes
Release Date: 22nd April’ 2025
What’s New?
– Supernet Support
IPAM now supports Supernet aggregation, allowing the grouping of contiguous IP ranges under a single summarized network (e.g., merging 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24 into 192.168.0.0/22).
Admins can add or delete Supernets while preserving the underlying subnets, simplifying routing and IP planning.
– IP Address Request Workflow
A streamlined process is introduced for IP address requests:
- Users with read/write permissions can submit IP requests.
- Only Admins can approve them.
- Once approved, the IP is marked as Reserved to avoid duplicate allocations.
Enhancements
– Dashboard Widgets
The following new widgets have been added:
- Top 10 Subnet Utilization
- Top 10 Category Utilization
- Recently Discovered MAC Addresses
- DNS Status Summary
– Support for Custom Columns
Users can now define up to 10 custom columns under IPAM Settings, viewable at the Subnet IP level.
- Required permissions: Access to Settings & Dashboard modules
- Included in CSV/PDF exports, but not displayed in on-screen reports
Note: Custom columns are not visible in the UI report screen.
– Enhanced Alert Notifications
New alert types can now be configured for:
- Subnet IP Utilization thresholds (e.g., below 80% or above 0%)
- MAC-IP changes (excluding certain MACs)
- IP conflicts
- State transitions (e.g., Available → Used)
- DNS failures (Forward/Reverse lookups)
- New subnet discoveries
- Rogue IP detections
Notes:
– UI shows only subnet-level alerts.
– IP conflict and MAC-IP alerts don’t trigger for CSV uploads.
– MAC-IP alerts are triggered only if the MAC-IP pair is detected during Rogue detection
– Rogue Detection & Authenticity Management
Admins can now mark MAC addresses as Rogue or Trusted. Authenticity is tracked via MAC+IP combinations.
Key improvements include:
- Smart Authenticity States: Deleting a Discovered device removes it, but deleting a Trusted/Rogue reverts it to Discovered.
- Bulk Import of Trusted MACs/IPs
- “Authenticity” column replaces “Rogue” in reports.
- Global search by authenticity status
- Real-time dashboard with counts of Discovered, Rogue, and Trusted IPs
– Role-based User Management
Admins can now assign custom roles like Admin, Operator, or Viewer with specific permissions.
Examples: Operators can scan subnets but cannot delete IP ranges.
– IPv4 Auto-Discovery Enhancement
The system now automatically discovers IPv4 devices during the first startup by scanning local subnets and gateways using ipconfig and arp -a data. Discovered devices will appear under Settings > Discovery.
Notes:
- IPv6 and DNS-based auto-discovery are currently not supported.
- Auto-discovery only works for subnets/gateways with the “Automatic Scanning” option enabled during creation.
