BT Diamond IP’s IPControl™ IP Address Management Solution for Nortel NetID Customers

In January 2008 Nortel announced the discontinuance of IP Address Domain Manager (also known as NetID) and named BT Diamond IP’s IPControl product suite, the product’s designated replacement.

IPControl ™

IPControl is the most comprehensive IPAM solution available today, enabling service providers and enterprises to dramatically improve IT operational efficiency and service levels by automating IP address management and DNS/DHCP server configuration across their networks.

Expect More with IPControl™

Like NetID, IPControl provides multi-administrator access to a centralized IPAM system that also helps you manage your distributed DHCP and DNS services. In addition to the many NetID features you rely on, you will also benefit from IPControl’s:

Multiple Deployment Options - available via software or on a variety of appliance platforms; mix and match to suite your needs

High Availability - Sapphire DHCP/DNS appliances enable TwinMirror™ cluster deployments

Multi-Protocol Support - both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported today

Intuitive Design - the hierarchical container feature provides intuitive organization of your topology and address space

Simplified Block Allocation - via automated algorithms and address allocation templates

Comprehensive BIND support - for BIND 9 directives, including views, controls, IPv6-related directives and more

Enhanced Class Filtering - supports client class filtering not only by user class and vendor class, but by MAC address, hostname, client identifier or any field within the DHCP packet

Unsurpassed Discovery - of subnets and IP addresses for importation or inventory reconciliation

Improved Auditing - Switch port mapping for post access control audits

Easy Modeling - for multi-interfaced devices, associated multiple IP addresses and resource records

Browser-based graphical interface - removes Java applet based compatibility issues

User-customizable - the web toolkit can be used to empower end users with basic tasks like adding subnets or IP addresses
