1. What is IPplan?
IPplan is a free (GPL), web based, multilingual, TCP IP address management (IPAM) software
and tracking tool written in php 4, simplifying the administration of your IP address space.
IPplan goes beyond TCPIP address management including DNS administration, configuration file
management, circuit management (customizable via templates) and storing of hardware
information (customizable via templates). IPplan can handle a single network or cater for
multiple networks and customers with overlapping address space. Makes managing IP
addresses and managing IP address space simple and easy!
2. IPplan installation
IPplan requires the following services
Start the web and mysql service and make them auto startup at boot
Download the IPplan and copy to the server. Extract zip file

Copy IPplan directory to Document Root of Web Server and grant the permission to web service
Set the password for root account of the MySQL database (It’s not the root account of system)
Create a database named “ipplan” in the MySQL
Grant the permission of the database to ipplan account

Now, let’s edit the main configuration file of IPplan
Make sure the following values match with database which has been created
Define credential for the web login account
Stop the firewall service

Open a web browser and navigate to http://server-ip/ipplan/admin/install.php. Select “New

Installation” and click “Go!”
Login using the credential that has been defined in the main configuration file

3. User and Group creation
After the installation is completed, we need to create user and group to manage the IPplan, so
click on “New Group”

Specify the group name and permission and click on “Create group”
After the group creation, let’s create a new user. Click “New User”

Specify the User ID, full name, email, password and group. Then click on “Create User”
4. IP address creation and management

Firstly, we need to create a new “Customer/Autonomous System”
It will ask you for the username and password, so just put the account which has been created

Complete the “Customer/Autonomous System”, and “Submit”
Secondly, create a new “Network Area”

Specify the “Area Address” & “Description” then “Submit”
Thirdly, create a “Network Range/Supernet”

Specify the “Range address” and “Submit”
Last, create “Subnet”

Complete the information required and “Submit”
To delete/edit/modify/split/join the subnet, just go as below

Select which section needed to modify and “Submit”
Here you are able to manage subnet as required

To quick view the IP address, which are in use or free, go the following
Then, it will show you as below

5. Backup and Recovery
Since the installation and configuration is completed, the backup is highly required to ensure
the persistence of operation. To backup database of IPplan, issue the following command.
NOTE:
- “mysqldump” is the mysql backup command

- “-u ipplan” is the parameter used to specify the user
- “-pipplanpw” is the parameter used to specify the password. “ipplanpw” is the password
- “ipplan” is the database name
- “>” is parameter used to export the database
- “ipplan.sql” is the new database backup file
Assuming that the database was error or destroyed, it’ll show the error “Could no connect to
database”. In this case, we will delete the database and test the restoration of the backup
database file. “Highly note that NEVER EVER issue the following command in the real working
environment since it will affect to IPplan database. It is just for testing purpose only.”

After the database is missed, we will not be able to access the IPplan
Now let’s restore back the backup database file. First, create a database named “ipplan” and
then restore backup database file.

After the restoration is completed, everything will be back as previous
