#24 Not scalable for larger networks

[Chris]

Hello,

I like th look and feel of the interface but It does not allow for larger network support to well.

For example, using the 10.0.0.0/8 range as a basis for the network, you may then have per country or even per region CIDRs for example, Asia - 10.128.0.0/12. Then within that you could have say Hong Kong - 10.128.32.0/23
Then within that you may have 10.128.32.0/25 for the DHCP whereas 10.128.32.128/25 as printers etc etc.

As I said I like the look and weel of this software so it would be great if there were plans for it.

Maby adding new CIDR prefixs or CIDRs within CIDRs using a text box as opposed to tick boxs's. It took a whole lot of time to load the 10.0.0.0/8 add prefix page :)

Any coments appreciated.

Cheers

Overlapping IP's would also be great to have as well along with the scalability. We are running a larger network (ISP) and would love to see those options added for usability. Thanks in advance.

Hi Private Rutter,

The issue for larger networks is in process for 4.4, I have updated my demo version that has support for it, the data is shared with 4.3, I would suggest adding a new network to verify this meets your requirements for larger networks. The release time has been pushed back do to my travel outside of the United States for work.

thanks,

Michael

Hi James,

Overlapping IP's have been allowed since phpip-3.3, this option allows you to have multiple networks with the same netblock. Example would be 10.0.0.0/16, and another 10.0.0.0/16. I would suggest using groups and assign netblocks per group.

Thanks,

Michael
