Problems with overlapping IP addresses can occur when various IPAM (IP Address Management) services, including on-premise solutions like NIOS and cloud-based DNS solutions such as AWS Route 53, Azure DNS, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) are deployed across the network without a centralized management console that manages all on-premise and cloud providers. This can lead to conflicts in routing and addressing, potentially causing network communication problems. IPAM Federation solves this problem.
The purpose of the IPAM Federation service is to manage and organize unique address spaces that are required across IP spaces, namespaces, or views by maintaining federated block of IP addresses and delegating ownership of those blocks to other IPAM services. IPAM Federation provides a method to manage network address blocks to a federation of IPAM contexts in BloxOne Universal DDI, NIOS, or any other cloud IPAM providers.
