Managing VLAN IP address inventory

 

To visualize and take control of the IP allocations for the VLANs managed by the DHCP server:

  • Select the DHCP -> VLAN menu from the left menu bar.
  • The VLAN page appears displaying the list of all VLANS serviced by the DHCP server.
  • Click on a VLAN entry from the list to view detailed stats on that specific VLAN from the Stats page.
  • Along the the top section of the Stats page, find the VLAN ID and the VLAN Name along with the essential details like: the dedicated subnet leasing IP addresses to the VLAN, the total number of available IPs in the subnet for the VLAN, the number of active IP addresses allocated to the VLAN.

The mid section of the Stats page displays the following infographics:

  • VLAN Usage: Illustrates the percentage of IP usage within the VLAN.
  • Number of IPs in the subnet: A doughnut plot that illustrates and quantifies the volume of Subnet's IP addresses based on their availability states like:
  • Available: IPs that are not currently assigned and are ready for allocation.
  • Active: IPs that are currently in use and assigned to active devices on the network.
  • Abandoned: IPs that were previously assigned but are no longer in use or have been released.
  • Fixed: IPs that are reserved for specific devices or purposes, ensuring they are not allocated to other devices.
  • Free: Typically includes both IPs that are available for immediate assignment and those that are reserved but not currently in use.

At the bottom section, you'll discover a list of each IP address in the subnet responsible for provisioning IP addresses to the VLAN, along with their availability states. You can click on any Available or Free IP address to directly configure it for a host that is supposed to connect with the VLAN.

Note: You can also search through the list for a specific VLAN by its VLAN ID. In addition, You can directly export the VLAN stats and download them as a CSV file for future references.
