You can perform the following IPAM tasks to effectively manage and control your network:
- Create host records. Host records integrate the DNS records and DHCP data of a network device. You can use a host record to manage a network device from one central point. For more information, see About Host Records.
- Create IPv4 and IPv6 networks. For information, see About Network Containers.
- Discover devices in IPv4 and IPv6 networks and other Objects created in IPAM. For more information, see Adding IPv4 and IPv6 Network Containers and Networks , Adding Host Records and other sections throughout this chapter. View your IPv4 network and address utilization in a graphical mode. For information, see IPv4 Network Map and IP Map.
- When necessary, resize, join, or split networks. For information, see Resizing IPv4 Networks 3, Splitting IPv4 Networks into Subnets , Joining IPv4 Networks , Splitting IPv6 Networks into Subnets 7, and Joining IPv6 Networks.
- Manage IPv4 and IPv6 address data. For information, see Viewing and Managing IPv4 Addresses,Viewing IPv6 Data , and Managing IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses.
- Add and manage DNS resource records associated with IP addresses. For information, see DNS Resource Records.
- Monitor your core service network data using the Dashboard, audit log, syslog, and reports. For information, see Part 7 Monitoring and Reporting.
- Discover and track network devices. For information, see IP Discovery and vDiscovery and DHCP Fingerprint Detection.
