I actually was doing research on this today as well. Anyone have any experience with the solutions that implement VLAN management as well like Gestioip?
I'm not remotely interested in externally developed software for this problem. But it's fair question. Generally this tool should not be IP or VLAN based but generic resource reservation tool, IP, VLAN, RD, RT, VPLS-ID, site-id, pseudowireID what have you. For me, humans would not do much directly with the tool. They'd give it large chunk of resource. Then maybe mine it to pools like 'coreLink', 'coreLoop', 'custLink', 'custLAN' etc. Then in your provisioning tools, you'd request resource from specific pool via restful API. Humand would never manually write RD/RT/IP/VLAN in the tool or in the configs. And this type of system is vastly simpler than the IPAMs I see listed, once you get rid of all the UI candy, it gets rather easy problem to solve. -- ++ytti
