Using NetBox Cloud for IP address management (IPAM), you can document IP addresses, subnets, and supernets to reflect the ideal state of address distribution across your infrastructure. Standard network automation platforms like Ansible and Terraform deploy configurations against that plan. The result: efficient management of IP assets across the enterprise, removing the potential of data entry errors.
By separating out the automation layer, NetBox Cloud allows users to integrate a network source of truth into their chosen platform for automation. Instead of being restricted by what your IPAM system can automate against, NetBox allows administrators to automate anything and everything against its open architecture and standardized API.
Automate IPAM with any platform
Don't get locked into proprietary plug-ins and architectures - simply map IPAM onto the automation platform you already own
Plan IP address architectures
Automate IP address allocations against the ideal state of your network
Prevent outages and downtime
Eliminate the risk associated with manual errors in IP address assignments
Implement self-service
Deliver IP addresses on demand, without the need for help desk tickets
NetBox Cloud tracks and manages a wide variety of IPAM components, including:
- Regional internet registries (RIRs)
- Prefixes
- Prefix/VLAN roles
- IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
- Network Address Translations (NATs)
- Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)
- Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) objects
- Route Targets
- First-hop redundancy protocol (FHRP) groups and assignments
- Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs)
- TCP and UDP Services
