IPPlan for IP Adress Management (IPAM)

 

IPplan is an IP/DNS address management system designed for use by service providers. There are many methods and operating systems on which you can install it including but not limited to Ubuntu Server 14.04. One of the great features I find useful is the means to query routing tables via SNMP.

 

If you choose to install on Ubuntu 14.04 then the following may be of use to you. Please note this is not a how to guide and if your inclined then it may assist you in bypassing the few hours I spent twiddling with packages and permissions.
