Documentation

IPAManager documentation for IPAM, monitoring, and configuration backup.

This guide covers IP addressing, discovery, topology, inventory, SNMP and ping monitoring, CPU and memory alerting, configuration backup, configuration version comparison, governance, maintenance, and access protection.

Overview

IPAManager is positioned as a customer-facing on-prem administration platform for day-to-day network operation. The product scope centers on structured IP address management, subnet oversight, discovery review, topology context, inventory governance, SNMP and ping monitoring, CPU and memory alerting, configuration backup, version comparison, access control, and system maintenance.

IP Address Management

Subnets

The main workspace for reviewing managed ranges, spotting overlap risk, and organizing subnet-related operations.

Class Summary

A planning-oriented view for reasoning about reservations, structure, and organization above individual subnet records.

Subnet Calculator

Validates CIDR input and confirms addressing outcomes before changes are applied elsewhere in the system.

Dashboard

The operational home screen used to move quickly into addressing, discovery, inventory, and administration tasks.

Discovery, History, and Topology

Scan History

Provides historical discovery context so administrators can confirm completed work, narrow review to a specific event, and inspect detail with better traceability.

Topology

Supports visual review of infrastructure relationships, making network context easier to inspect and communicate during operations.

Scans Scheduler

Turns discovery into a repeatable managed process so administrators can maintain coverage without relying on manual memory.

Network Monitoring and Alerts

Network monitoring is included as a supporting operational layer inside IPAManager. The monitoring page adds practical device health visibility, ping availability checks, SNMP reachability context, latency awareness, CPU and memory indicators, active alert review, and recovery visibility in the same administration workspace used for IPAM, topology, inventory, and discovery.

Ping and SNMP Device Health

Review monitored devices with current ping availability, latency, SNMP status, CPU usage, memory usage, uptime, and last-check timestamps.

Active and Recovery Alerts

Track unresolved and recovered conditions such as device down, high ping latency, SNMP failure, high CPU usage, and high memory usage from the monitoring workspace.

Email Notification Rules

Control when alert emails and recovery emails are sent, including severity filters, source filters, alert type filters, cooldown timing, and recipient override behavior.

Inventory and Templates

Network Inventory

Supports structured review of discovered or maintained asset information as part of broader operational oversight.

Inventory Info

Offers deeper detail where supporting context is needed before action, export, or operational review.

Templates

Standardizes repeated patterns and reduces manual inconsistency across the environment with reusable definitions.

Network Configuration Management and Backup

Config Management extends IPAManager with network configuration backup, backup job review, successful backup version retention, and configuration version comparison for managed routers, switches, firewalls, and other supported network devices. It is designed to keep configuration history available inside the same operational workspace used for IPAM, inventory, discovery, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Scheduled Configuration Backups

Run manual or scheduled configuration backup jobs against selected devices and keep successful backup versions available for operational review.

Backup Job Results

Review recent configuration backup activity by job, inspect execution status, and expand job details when device-level results are required.

Configuration Version Comparison

Compare saved configuration backup versions, identify lines added or removed, and review configuration changes without leaving the administration interface.

Administration and Access Control

Users

Manages who can access the platform and how administrative responsibility is distributed across the team.

Credentials Vault

Centralizes credential material used by the platform so access-dependent workflows remain consistent and governed.

Logs

Provides direct visibility into recorded activity to support troubleshooting, review, and event context gathering.

System Configuration and Maintenance

Settings

The entry point for maintenance-oriented administration and service-level review.

Certificates

Groups trust-related workflows in one dedicated operational view for structured certificate maintenance.

License

Exposes licensing state and support-related information required for ongoing administration and audit readiness.

Scans Scheduler

Keeps repeatable discovery processes consistent and more operationally predictable.

Security and Access Protection

The security workspace centralizes controls that influence who can reach the login flow and how repeated failed login attempts are handled. It combines preventive controls, visibility, and validation tools in one place.

Allowlist controls

Define a global allowlist for broad policy enforcement and apply stricter per-user rules to selected accounts.

Brute-force mitigation

Enable lockout behavior and tune thresholds by IP address, username, failure window, and lockout duration.

Idle timeout

Terminate inactive authenticated sessions after the configured number of idle minutes with no requests.

Pre-change validation matters: administrators can test a user and source IP combination before saving the final security configuration.
