SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM) is a network management software for monitoring, managing, and tracking IP addresses. The platform helps with planning, deploying, and troubleshooting IP address space across networks. With SolarWinds IPAM users can detect overlapping subnets, monitor critical DHCP scopes for available IPs in real time. The software features automated subnet discovery and scanning to help manage dynamic or static IPs effectively while maintaining DNS records consistency. It also integrates with other SolarWinds network management tools through the Orion Platform dashboard for a more centralized system management approach.
