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:

  1. Users with read/write permissions can submit IP requests.
  2. Only Admins can approve them.
  3. Once approved, the IP is marked as Reserved to avoid duplicate allocations.

Enhancements

– Dashboard Widgets

The following new widgets have been added:

  1. Top 10 Subnet Utilization
  2. Top 10 Category Utilization
  3. Recently Discovered MAC Addresses
  4. 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.

  1. Required permissions: Access to Settings & Dashboard modules
  2. 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:

  1. Subnet IP Utilization thresholds (e.g., below 80% or above 0%)
  2. MAC-IP changes (excluding certain MACs)
  3. IP conflicts
  4. State transitions (e.g., Available → Used)
  5. DNS failures (Forward/Reverse lookups)
  6. New subnet discoveries
  7. 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:

  1. Smart Authenticity States: Deleting a Discovered device removes it, but deleting a Trusted/Rogue reverts it to Discovered.
  2. Bulk Import of Trusted MACs/IPs
  3. “Authenticity” column replaces “Rogue” in reports.
  4. Global search by authenticity status
  5. 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:

  1. IPv6 and DNS-based auto-discovery are currently not supported.
  2. Auto-discovery only works for subnets/gateways with the “Automatic Scanning” option enabled during creation.
