IPAM Release Version 4.0.0

Release Date: April 22, 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
note
  • 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.

note
  • 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.
