For me, humans would not do much directly with the tool. They'd give it large chunk of resource. Then maybe mine it to pools like 'coreLink', 'coreLoop', 'custLink', 'custLAN' etc. Then in your provisioning tools, you'd request resource from specific pool via restful API. Humand would never manually write RD/RT/IP/VLAN in the
[snip] A CMDB that tracks configuration items. An IP address is just one kind of CI out of thousands. A good CMDBs should ideally provide efficient management, visualization, and reporting for all kinds of CIs Software that tracks such things should understand the internal structure of every kind of CI it tracks, and be able to easily answer simple questions, (eg. Which VLAN ID is assigned to the subnet that IP address Y belongs to. If IP Address Y is part of a static NAT configuration, on a LAN router, what external IP address and external VLAN Id is this IP associated with?). But is there a decently scalable open source application for building a CMDB, that is visually appealing and efficient for humans to use, without a ton of manual development; other than custom building applications and SQL schema by hand, for each kind of CI? I am not aware of one.... -- -JH
