How to Tracking IP Addresses and Change the Configuration

IPAM automatically collects the IP addresses of DHCP servers lease log. Also, collect events team and authentication domain controllers and servers in network policy and stores user data in your database. IPAM provides an interface to query these data and intelligently correlate this information in the proper context and offers a view of the activity of the IP address in the network.

You can search the database of events pivoting in an IP address, ID (MAC address) client, hostname or username to retrieve the associated DHCP lease events. IPAM is automatically correlated events in DHCP lease with authentication of user events and the machine allowing you to quickly get a point of view in which the user was logged of the machine at any given time, or in which IP address has been assigned to the machine and the user, so this is a very useful tool for investigators. Figure 5 shows a vision where the pivot of the query is the name of the host (ip-test), and the result of the research appears indicates all the DHCP lease to host events during the dates indicated.

IPAM also allows you to track configuration changes occurring on the IPAM server itself as wellas on managed DHCP servers. This enables you to quickly resolve misconfigurations as well as track SLAs.
