IP Address Discovery
Achieve the network insights you need with an IP discovery tool
Use an IP discovery tool to automatically locate devices and collect critical data
SolarWinds® IP Address Manager (IPAM) is designed to eliminate the need to manually manage IP address data with complicated spreadsheets. By quickly identifying and updating device information, an automated IP address discovery tool can help make IP discovery quicker and a more accurate process.
SolarWinds IPAM is built to scan your network for all IP addresses, checks their statuses, and reports the details. IP Address Manager also uses automated subnet discovery and neighbor discovery techniques to help identify and accurately manage IP subnets, address blocks, and connected hosts to present real-time IP address information.
Reduce the chance of human error when updating device data
Especially for large networks, manually updating device data can run a high risk of human error.
An automated discovery process helps ensure the IP discovery process won’t be subject to any of the unnecessary risks associated with manual data collection. IP Address Manager uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and neighbor discovery to automatically locate devices and collect comprehensive device details.
Save time in managing heterogeneous devices
SolarWinds IP Address Manager is built to locate multiple systems in your network to identify and establish connections with appropriate resources to collect critical data. IPAM is ideal for hybrid environments containing heterogeneous, multi-vendor devices. Instead of replacing your multi-vendor DNS and DHCP servers, IPAM can provide network IP discovery designed to save both time and resources.
Automate subnet discovery with an IP detection tool
SolarWinds IPAM offers an Automated Subnet Discovery wizard for you to discover routers and easily poll them for subnets using related IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
If you wish to use the wizard to scan unmonitored routers, you can manually add routers to your discovery scan. The discovery wizard will then import your subnet configurations into your IPAM settings, which can help you avoid the time-consuming process of manually importing subnets from spreadsheets.

Do you find yourself asking…
IP discovery is the process of scanning your network for IP devices through one or several methods like SNMP, ICMP, or neighborhood scanning. An IP detection tool can be critical not just in setting up your network IP configuration, but also in monitoring your IP addresses for potential capacity issues and reporting status updates.
After your IP address system is set up, IP addresses should be regularly monitored to detect new devices and the removal of devices to reconfigure IP addresses accordingly. Since large networks are likely to experience a high volume of new devices as well as disengaged devices, an IP discovery tool can allow you to collect device data, update it when necessary, and more easily report on IP history.
