IP Address Management Challenges
• Managing multiple DHCP and DNS services
• Frequent endpoint system failures/turnover
• Non-availability of real-time data
• Multiple admins accessing data
• Network changes
• Limited budgets
• Vendor-related shortfalls
• Human error

@solarwinds
The Benefits of Improved IP Management
• Gain a more complete view of your network and find
abandoned IP addresses
• Obtain accurate, current information about the IP
addresses in use on your network
• Easily change the address status from “Used” to “Available”
• Receive alerts when DHCP address pools exceed
utilization thresholds
• Track duplicate IPs (and get notified when they occur)
Troubleshoot tricky intermittent issues with historical performance tracking

@solarwinds
IP Address Manager (IPAM)
• Helps prevent IP conflicts with powerful IPv4 and IPv6 address management
• Manages Microsoft®, Cisco®, and ISC DHCP servers as well as DNS servers
• Allows you to view subnets from all Infoblox® Network Views at the same time and
segment subnets without the need to create a new Network View
• Centrally monitors Amazon Route 53® and Azure® DNS zones and records
• Allows you to monitor and receive alerts on subnet/scope depletion and IP conflicts
• Automates static IP requests with IP request form to speed device deployment
• Integrates with VMware vRealize® Orchestrator™ to automate provisioning of virtual
machines
• Offers API support to provide two-way integration with third-party software
Links: Data - Demo - Resource
Includes ability to report IP conflicts and update subnets continuously. Keeps the user from updating IP spreadsheets

Monitor IP Pools
With IPAM’s automated scans, you
can monitor your DHCP address
pools and receive alerts when they
exceed utilization thresholds.
This allows you to proactively
examine the subnet or scope and find
unused addresses to reclaim.
Visually see when IP ranges are
about to run out so you can plan for a
different lease expiration or larger
subnet.

@solarwinds
Leveraging a Status
Dashboard
With just a few clicks, you can identify
unused IP addresses within the IPAM
log dashboard and change the
address status from “Used” to
“Available.”
You can then reassign these
abandoned addresses to new,
approved devices.
Transient IP addresses show IPs that
are leased out but no longer
connected. If I see a lot of transient IP
addresses, reducing the lease is the
best course of action.

@solarwinds
User Device Tracker (UDT)
• System tracking designed to integrate with user login data from Active Directory
• Historically map and track user to device, associate device to port, and VLAN
• Keeping track—repository of user device information
• Detailed network user tracking to map and monitor switch ports
• Network user and device watch list with device whitelisting based on rules
• Integrated endpoint tracking and the ability to act with remote port shutdown
• Network user and device reports
• Integration with SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM) and SolarWinds NetFlow
Traffic Analyzer (NTA)

Take IP tracking a step further with automated device detection, tracking, and switch port management

Tracking Users to IPs
UDT automates device tracking and switch port management
• Automatically discovers, maps, and
monitors switches, ports, and
network devices
• Quickly finds devices and retrieves
username, port details, connection
history, and more
• Enables searching for IP address,
username, hostname, or MAC
address to track endpoints
• Allows whitelisting and watch lists
with automatic alerts and click-of-a-
button port shutdown
• Provides detailed switch port usage
data, capacity analysis, and built-in
reporting
