How to manage IP address inventories and analyse lease histories using ManageEngine DDI Central
Why watch this video?
DDI Central’s IPAM is not just about managing IP addresses. It organizes all the essential data on IP allocations and maps upstream relationships with DNS and DHCP to deliver rich metadata associated with leased IPs, such as host names, MAC addresses, hardware data, availability status, DNS records, and DNS query analytics, all into a single repository. This comprehensive approach positions DDI Central’s IPAM as a crucial tool for serving as the Network Source of Truth (NSoT), ensuring effective data triangulation, validation, and cohesive network operation.
It streamlines network management by centralizing the planning and administration of DNS, DHCP, and IP address space, eliminating the need for complex interfaces or disparate tools. This inventory of DNS, DHCP, host devices, and IP-related information helps organizations break down data silos, ensuring that network data is always consistent, contextualized, accurate, and centrally accessible.
