Multicloud IPAM and DHCP management

BlueCat Micetro’s IPAM module includes both DHCP and IPAM capabilities all bundled into one module. It is built to help large enterprises manage their distributed, often heterogeneous service infrastructure in a homogeneous fashion, through a single-pane of-glass UI. With the proliferation of IoT devices, cloud services, and other edge devices, IPAM and DHCP management goes beyond simple deployment to uptime, security, and performance.

Micetro offers support for a variety of DHCP services:

  • Microsoft DHCP
  • ISC DHCP
  • ISC Kea DHCP
  • Cisco IOS DHCP

All scope topologies are supported:

  • Single-hosted scopes
  • Split scopes (on Microsoft DHCP servers)
  • Failover scopes on ISC DHCP and Microsoft DHCP servers DHCPv6 for Microsoft and KEA

DHCP functionalities include:

Scope consistency checking. Errors and warnings are displayed for DHCP issues, such as pool collisions, DHCP reservation mismatches, and failover configuration or communication issues.

Scope creation wizard allows the user to create a single-hosted, split, or a failover scope through the same process.

DHCP leases from managed DHCP servers can be stored for troubleshooting and reporting. -Scope utilization monitoring will generate health alerts, such as email notifications through SNMP traps if scopes are running out of available IP addresses.

Reservations are created on all servers that hold a scope.

Users can release leases.

DHCP options can be defined and modified for multiple scopes/servers at the same time.

Superscopes can be managed on Microsoft DHCP servers and DHCP scope policies are supported.

Subclasses, groups and hosts can be configured and managed on ISC DHCP servers.

Scopes can be duplicated or disabled. Access to DHCP servers includes the ability to give users

permission to read only or read/write scope options, add scopes,

edit reservations, manage groups (ISC DHCP only) and manage class data (ISC DHCP only).

Scopes can be migrated, either one by one or in bulk, between DHCP servers, with options and leases.

DHCP servers do not need to be available for scopes to be migrated from them.

Access to DHCP scopes includes the ability to give users permission to enable/disable scope, read or read/write scope options, manage reservations, manage address pools, manage exclusions, release lease and manage groups (ISC DHCP only).
