DHCP Management and Monitoring
Easily monitor and manage DHCP from a centralized location
Manage DHCP and DNS from the SolarWinds Platform Web Console
While other DHCP management and monitoring solutions are solely equipped for DHCP administration, SolarWinds® IP Address Manager (IPAM) offers integrated multi-vendor DHCP and DNS administration. You get IP address management, unified DHCP and DNS management, reports, alerts, and more from the SolarWinds Platform Web Console. Being able to access everything from a central location will not only save you time but also spare you the stress of managing DHCP and DNS changes from separate platforms.
Quickly add DHCP servers and create scopes with IPAM
IPAM makes adding DHCP servers and creating scopes easy. With only a few clicks, you can add, edit or remove the DHCP server. Once it’s added to the DHCP & DNS Management page, it begins scanning IP address and scope lease activity.
After you know the start and end IP addresses, it takes just a few clicks on the DHCP & DNS Management page to make a new scope. Easily defining scopes on your DHCP server, allows managing the distribution and assignment of IP addresses to DHCP clients.

Stay informed about your DHCP server’s performance and take action when necessary
SolarWinds IPAM is built to be an easy-to-use DHCP monitoring solution. IPAM is compatible with many servers and integrates DHCP and DNS management with IP address management, so you only have to deal with one interface at a time.
Whether you have Cisco, ASA, ISC, or Microsoft DHCP servers, or some combination of servers, IPAM will keep you updated so you can take action quickly if a problem arises.
Enjoy dynamic filtering, improved workflows, and more with DHCP Management View’s layout
IPAM’s DHCP & DNS management view is built to be clean and user-friendly. It offers dynamic filtering and a refreshed layout that can improve your workflow.
It contains all the necessary information and allows one to navigate through displayed data with ease. DHCP & DNS management view enables access not only to DHCP and DNS server details but also to information about DHCP Scopes and DNS Zones.
Resolve problems quickly with insights from IPAM
IPAM is equipped with IP conflict alerts, to help you know when an issue needs your attention. Thanks to IPAM’s historical data on IP address usage and event recording, you can quickly determine which device had an IP address first if a conflict occurs and use the remote shutdown option to cut off connectivity to the second device. You can integrate IPAM with SolarWinds User Device Tracker to better understand your device and switch port information for DHCP troubleshooting.

Do you find yourself asking…
Within your network, you probably have lots of devices—each with its unique IP address. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is the protocol that’s used when assigning IP addresses to devices within your network. Additionally, DHCP keeps track of the IP addresses on your network and any subnets requiring IP addresses.
Making sure your DHCP servers distribute IP addresses properly can get complicated, but that’s where DHCP management and monitoring come in. Without proper DHCP management and monitoring, the automatic distribution of IP addresses may be thrown off, resulting in a messy networking environment, over- or under-utilizing your IP addresses, or time spent manually assigning IP addresses. On the other hand, engaging in DHCP management and monitoring will give you a clear understanding of your DHCP servers’ performance at any point in time. When you engage in DHCP management and monitoring, you’ll stay informed about IP address assignment problems and be prepared to quickly take action to prevent network disruptions and slowdowns.
While monitoring and managing DHCP is tedious and time-consuming, you can easily keep track of various metrics and issues that could impact DHCP server performance with the help of a tool like SolarWinds® IP Address Manager. You’ll gain insights into start time, uptime, messages, and events, and you can check if your DHCP is allocating IP addresses. For example, you might look at metrics like the number of requests, declines, and releases, how many IP addresses are available, or the total scopes active on your server to better understand your DHCP server and any performance issues.
