Use the General system settings to specify the following:

  • Save comments for Micetro
  • Settings for AD sites and subnets integration
  • Rules to determine when an IP address is considered as being "in use"

Save comments

By default, users can save changes in the system without writing a comment. However, you have the option to set the comment requirements for Micetro tasks, including options to turn off, make optional, or require the Save comment dialog.

  • When off is selected, the Save comment dialog will not appear when users save changes.
  • If you choose to make comments optional, users can choose whether or not to include a comment when saving changes.
  • If you choose to make comments required, users must include a comment whenever they save changes.

AD sites and subnets

Use the following settings to configure how Active Directory (AD) sites and subnets are managed in Micetro. To use these settings, you need to select to Enable the integration.

Enable AD sites and subnets integration
When selected, all Active Directory (AD) sites and their corresponding subnets will be displayed in Micetro. You can add and remove subnets from sites and move subnets between different sites as needed. AD sites and subnets will be listed on the AD sites tab of the IPAM page.

If you want to synchronize the Location and Description fields of the subnets in Active Directory with custom properties in Micetro, use the dropdown to select the custom properties to synchronize with. When synchronization is active, any changes made to the fields in AD will automatically update the corresponding fields in Micetro, and vice versa. Refer to AD sites and subnets.

Enforce AD site inheritance
Select this checkbox to enforce site inheritance in AD. When site inheritance is enforced, child subnets must reside in the same site as the parent subnet. If site inheritance is not enforced, child subnets can be placed in different sites than the parent subnet. Refer to AD sites and subnets.

Determine address usage

Control how IP addresses are identified as being in use. By default, these settings are all selected. To specify which rules should be applied to IP addresses and get a more granular picture of where the usage is occurring, select/clear one or more of the following checkboxes:

Note: These conditions only apply to statically assigned IP addresses. Within DHCP address pools, an IP address is only considered to be in use if there is a DHCP lease or DHCP reservation associated with it.
  • A custom property is set for the IP address — Select one or more of the displayed custom properties.
  • A DNS address record (A / AAAA) exists for the IP address
  • The IP address has been claimed
  • The IP address has been seen on the network in the last (# of days) — If you select this option, enter the number of days in the provided field.
