We are in need of a software package to manage our IP space. We've looked at several products on the market but haven't found anything that really suits an ISP's needs very well. Does anyone know of anything on the market that works well? It should understand CIDR and be hierarchical.
I guess the question would be, what is meant by hierarchical... do you mean assigning sub-CIDR blocks to customers, and then managing customers' space as well as your own?
Something like that. We have a need to assign perhaps a large block to web hosting, then out of that block assign smaller blocks to each server, then yet a smaller block still to each customer, for example. CIDR and VLSM goes without saying...
