We use the IPAM tool by 6connect.net, not sure if that is what you are looking for exactly?

Hi,

I depend on a number of shell tools for manipulating IPv4 addresses,
CIDR blocks, etc. like:

 aggis
 ipsort.pl
 grepcidr
 aggregate

I have not yet found much in terms of similar shell utilities for
IPv6.  I've spoken to authors of some of these tools and they admit
they have not yet produced IPv6-capable versions.  (Not trying to name
and shame: those tools are great, I just want more!)

Do folks here know of IPv6 tools that might provide some of the
functions the above tools provide for IPv4?

Thanks!

I recommend IPv6gen.

http://code.google.com/p/ipv6gen/

Very useful. Granted its not what you were asking for exactly....

From the site:

"ipv6gen is tool which generates list of IPv6 prefixes of given length
from certain prefix according to RFC 3531. (A Flexible Method for
Managing the Assignment of Bits of an IPv6 Address Block)"

There's also  "sipcalc" which has nothing to do with VOIP....
