In the IPAM section, you can specify various IPAM-related settings, including:
- How the system should handle new subranges if the parent range is in a folder.
- How the system should behave when naming conflicts between existing IP address ranges and DHCP scopes occur.
- How the system should behave if DHCP scopes are removed outside of Micetro.
- Whether the system should allow reservations inside address pools on ISC DHCP servers.
Configure the following settings according to your specific requirements:
- When a user creates a subrange of a range that is in a folder
- Select one of the following options to determine what happens when a user
creates a subrange of a range in a folder:
- Do not place the subnet in the folder
- Place the subnet in the folder
- Prompt the user
- When name(s) of scope(s) from MS DHCP server(s) do not match an existing IP address range
- Select one of the following options to specify what happens if the name of
an MS DHCP scope does not match the name of an existing IP address range:
- Do nothing (name of the existing range is shown but scope name is not changed on the DHCP server)
- Change the name of the existing range to the name of the scope
- Change the name of the scope to the name of the existing range
- Apply same rule for scope description as for scope name above
- When selected, the system will use the same rules to update scope description as it does for updating scope names.
- When a DHCP scope is deleted outside Micetro
- Select what happens to a scope when it is deleted outside Micetro:
- Convert the scope to an IP address range
- Delete it from Micetro
- Allow reservations inside pools on ISC DHCP servers
- When selected, the system allows users to create reservations inside pools
on ISC DHCP servers. When a reservation is created inside a pool, the pool
is split to make space for the reservation.Warning: If a reservation created inside a pool is deleted, the address is not made a part of the pool again.
- Allow allocation of IP addresses from IP address containers
- When selected, the system will allow allocation of IP addresses that reside in containers. For more information about containers, refer to Creating containers.
- Disable scanning of VRF information
- By default, the system does not scan for VRF information. If you clear the checkbox, the system will begin scanning for VRF information. If an overlap is found between different VRFs, the system will log the issue.
- Always show discovery info
- If selected, the columns related to host discovery will always be displayed when viewing contents of subnets or scopes.
