IP Request System

It would be nice to have a request system where end users could click on an address or submit a ticket to have an admin configure and address for them.

ldaps support

Burton Simonds — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:47:22 -0000

I would like for there to be support for ldaps instead of just ldap for security reasons.

IPv6 ???

Marco Davids — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 09:05:17 -0000

When will IPv6 support be incorporated?

Option to Edit a range of addresses

Chris Combs — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 21:23:36 -0000

Looking for an option to change the info for a range of addresses. Such as applying the description "Local LAN" to 192.168.0.100 through 150.

Ability to define a range of addresses to edit all at once.

Switch Port Tracking/Manangement

Sat, 17 Jan 2009 12:21:40 -0000

Hello,

In a large datacentre environment, not only are IP records tracked per server, but also switch port assignment records. It would make sense for this information to be tracked in the same application.

For example, if server WWW01, had an IP address of 1.2.3.4, I would also like to know that the IP physically connects through switch port Fa0/25 on Switch Front-End-01.

An interface addition such as "ADD SWITCH" vs "ADD CIDR" would be required. For each switch the following variables are possible:

Switch:
1. Number of modules on the switch
2. Number of ports supported per module
3. Types of ports per module

For example a Cisco 6500 series switch might have a module that supports 48 10/100/1000Mbit ethernet ports and 2 fibre ports. It might also have another module that only supports 24 1000Mbit ethernet ports, and no fibre ports.

The interface could then be modified to support 3 views. IP, Switch and Hostname view.

With such an integrated system, a person could easily be able to:
1. Quickly find a free public IP
2. Quickly find a free switch port
3. Quickly lookup what host is using IP/Port

Enhance IP Revision History

Sat, 17 Jan 2009 11:55:57 -0000

Hello,

Currently the IP revision history in version 4.3.2 only tracks who/when made a change.

An enhancement is if it would also record the data that existed in the IP record before it was modified.

Workarounds:
1. Backup/Restore database and load data into another application instance.
2. Dump IP database into a text file nightly and grep through that for the data.

Show allocated IPs in prefix in Subnet Summary

TidalWave — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 06:10:06 -0000

If I assign a /25 to a certain client within a /24, every IP in that assigned /25 should show as used when I click on Show Unallocated.

Secondly, when I go to the Subnet Summary page it should show 125/256 ... instead right now it just shows 1/256 -- so its wrong from what is actually assigned in the Prefix.

This would be a great fix, as your system is good for everything we need now except for easily finding out which IP's are AVAILABLE without confusion.

IP Ordering & Threading

tom lee — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 14:18:36 -0000

Howdy !

PhpIP is great, and I'm happy to use it !

I'd love to see two improvements, however :

# IP ordering

- It's a shame that the IP's are not correctly ordered.
I guess this is due to mysql being a bit shite at handling them specifically, and that the ip fields are varchar.

- Would it be possible to split the IP's into 4 different fields, so that an order-by would work properly (or save them to an 'int' using ip2long, etc.). OAt the moment, I see that IP's varchar for holding the IP addresses... or use postgres :)

# IP Threading

- It'd be really *great* to be able to have threading !
(what i mean is : in the menu on the left, to be able to have a /16, splitable into multiple subnets (e.g. lotsa /24's) which would then branch into smaller subnets (e.g. /28's), etc. I hope I'm being clear on what would be nice to see !

My apologies in advance if this replicates previous support requests or mailing-list posts : i trawled through them quickly, but i'm fallible ! :)

Many thanks,

Tom

DNS

Chris Vaughan — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 00:28:52 -0000

Ability to use existing databases, such as DNS, to populate records.

Auto Subnetting

Watcher64 — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 14:41:27 -0000

Would be nice if when you assigned say a /29 to a customer it subnetted this out for you and assgined all IP's in that subnet to that customer, as well as having multi select for unassigning a subnet within the larger subnet.

We have a system now that does this but it is not as clean as your phpip.

Thanks
