Key Features

This page highlights some of the most useful features of Easy-IP. Just click on any image to enlarge it.

Easy-to-use GUIEasy-to-use Web GUI
Easy-IP provides an intuitive AJAX Web Interface, which organizes information in a tree-like structure and provides you with a graphical overview of your entire IP addressing scheme.

Easy-IP's visual drag and drop feature makes it easy to create CIDR blocks, partition subnets and assign addresses. All subnets and indvidual IP addresses are displayed with color-coded entries for a visual status check.
Powered by FirebirdHigh-Performance SQL Database
Easy-IP is powered by the Firebird SQL database engine. Firebird is an industry-standard, low-maintenance, self-tuning SQL database engine, and requires no assistance from a dedicated database administrator.

Easy-IP's integrated SQL database has 64 bit I/O support, which effectively means it can handle over 16 million addresses in a single database. Easy-IP can scale from a single-user with a few hundred nodes, right up to Global Service Providers with millions of addresses.
Subnet CalculatorAutomated Subnet Allocation
The Easy-IP Subnet Planner allows you to rapidly create thousands of IP addresses and subnets based on network ranges and subnet mask. Easy-IP takes only minutes instead of hours, to generate thousands of network ranges.

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) is fully supported, with visual indication of the CIDR prefix for every subnet. Using the slider bar, you can partition subnets with just a few mouse clicks and eliminate common errors associated with VLSM design.
Network Auto-DiscoveryNetwork Auto-Discovery Tool
Easy-IP includes a high performance, multi-threaded network discovery tool that scans your network and populates the database automatically with IP address, Hostname, MAC address, response time and host availability.

It also keeps historical data of response times with graphs showing trends over time. Easy-IP's Auto-Discovery Engine discovers an entire Class B network in less than 40 minutes.
Network Inventory SNMPAccurate, Real-Time Network Inventory
When used in conjunction with SNMP, this becomes an extremely powerful tool for asset management of network equipment. You can populate the database with the serial numbers and software revision of all the routers and switches on your entire network.

Easy-IP now builds a complete database of your entire network using SNMP. It helps you answer questions such as:

  • How many Cisco 3640 or Netgear Routers do I have?
  • What IOS version are they running?
  • Who is responsible for them and where are they located?

Easy-IP provides you with the ability to customize reports by discovering any SNMP OID, such as: sysName, sysDesc, or even vendor specific OIDs, to create a comprehensive inventory of your network.
Import WizardAdvanced Import/Export Capabilities
Easy-IP's timesaving import facility can be used to incorporate existing IP information from spreadsheets, or text files. The intuitive Import Wizard walks you throught the process, checking the import file and reporting errors.

Easy-IP exports the following industry-standard file formats for easy manipulation by other applications:

  • HTML, XML
  • DOC, PDF, Rich text Format (RTF)
  • CSV, Plain text
  • DBF, MDB, XLS, LDAP

You can export entire subnets or just selected fields to the above file formats. Dialog boxes make it easy to merge existing spreadsheet information into custom fields of a new database.
AUdit LoggingExtensive Auditing and Logging

Easy-IP keeps track of all additions, deletions, and changes to the database by each user.

The changes are time stamped to ensure a full audit trail, ensuring compliance with industry acts such as Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) and HIPAA.

Multi-User Access RightsMulti-User Access Control
Easy-IP provides access control lists so that administrative users can delegate management responsibilities to multiple network administrators, regardless of location. A designated "root" administrator defines permissions and logins for others who are responsible for certain network segments or regions.

The administrative user can assign other users full administrator, read-write, or read-only access to the database. Using separate container files, Service Providers can manage multiple overlapping IP Address space for their customers. Complex networks may be split into different groups according to network topology, countries, regions, or departmental functions.
Visual SQL Query BuilderVisual SQL Query Builder
The Easy-IP Visual Query Builder lets you to create and edit complex SQL queries, visually, without knowledge of SQL syntax. Visual building as well as direct editing of SQL query text is available. You can work with several queries at once, edit queries and view the execution results in several modes.

  • Build SQL queries visually using drag & drop.
  • Ability to create queries with unions, nested joins and sub-queries.
  • Data grouping and filtering.
  • Export data in a variety of formats, XML, HTML, CSV and Tab Delimited.

With the Query Builder you can design custom queries that can be executed against the data held in your database. Additionally, you can define custom reports and exports to format the data.
Custom FieldsUser-Defined Custom Fields
With Easy-IP custom fields, you can add specific information such as Operating System, Circuit Number, Line Speed, Telco Supplier, etc. to customize the information to your own network. You can even add your own drop-down lists to minimise user error.
Grouping and SortingAdvanced Grouping and Sorting
Customizable filters allow you to see only the IP addresses or subnets you want. You can hide unused subnets (very useful when you have thousands of subnets).

Advanced grouping features allow you to instantly group the IP Addresses on any field you select, useful if you want to view all the printers in one location or all routers on one subnet.
Report WizardPowerful Custom Reporting
The Easy-IP Report Wizard makes it easy to generate sophisticated reports. This flexible custom reporting utility can be used to generate reports based on any user-defined fields.

Reports can be exported to HTML, CSV or text format and can be easily modified, viewed, and printed. Here are some of the reports you can produce in a few minutes, with no knowledge of SQL.

  • All Cisco routers running IOS 12.3 in OSPF Area 51
  • Cable modems in Norway that have responded in 6 weeks
  • All laser printers in Texas with 100mb LAN cards
  • Only Frame relay DLCI numbers attached to Nortel switches
  • Every T1 Circuit terminating at the Data Center

Each report can be fully customized with your own headers/footers or fonts using the built-in Report Designer.
