IP Address Management (IPAM)

IP Address Management

IP Address Management (IPAM) is the process of managing and tracking the use of Internet Protocol (IP) address space in a computer network. It involves tracking which devices are using which IP addresses, as well as keeping track of available IP address space in order to ensure that new devices can be assigned valid IP addresses when they join the network. It also involves monitoring for conflicts between different devices using the same IP address, as well as ensuring that all devices have valid DNS entries so that they can be located on the network.
