Introduction

Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM is a comprehensive software solution that helps organizations plan and maintain their IP address space and leverages that information for use by IP services such as DNS and DHCP.

Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM is a next generation tool that offers advanced functionality:

■Centralized planning and management of the complete address space down to the individual IP address level

■Centralized DNS and DHCP configuration management.

■IPv4 and IPv6 support.

■Automated address utilization collection and reporting.

■Address utilization forecasting and trending analysis.

■APIs and Command Line Interfaces for integration with any type of system. Examples are work-flow systems, provisioning systems, change management systems, or network management systems.

Unlike other tools that maintain IP name and address data as discrete information maintained uniquely and separately, Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM interacts with network devices and services to:

■Verify that the actual network matches the information in Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM.

■Capture and record utilization information to be able to establish historical trends.

■Reclaim inactive addresses.

This interaction not only maintains consistency between the planned and deployed network, but allows proactive modification to the network to adjust for IP address shortages and overages.

Before you Begin

For information on installing Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM, refer to Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM 8.1.3 Installation Guide.

To start using the Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM Management System, all Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM services, and the Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM database must be started.

Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM is licensed separately from Cisco Prime Network Registrar DHCP, DNS, and Caching DNS. When installing IPAM, you will be asked to install as a separate process using a separate license key. To receive the IPAM license, you must purchase Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM, either individually, or as part of a Cisco Prime Network Registrar suite.

How to Apply IPAM 8.1.3.1 Patch

The Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM 8.1.3.1 Upgrade/Patch Utility is designed to help users automatically upgrade or patch the systems and automatically backup existing data at the same time.

Patch upgrades are when the ‘incontrol.jar’, ‘incontrol.war’, ‘inc-ws.war’ files are replaced and the originals are backed up. In some cases, files that do not reside within the.war or.jar files are also applied and the originals are backed up. Or just.sql updates are applied against the database to assist with obtaining new features.

An “in-place” upgrade is when a new version of Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM is applied and the database schema is also upgraded to the new version. The original.war and.jar files, along with the database, are backed up.

Note: All original files will be backed up automatically to INCHOME/tmp/backup-<dateofupgrade>.

Note: Oracle users must manually backup their database before starting an upgrade. Contact your DBA for assistance.

Important Notes

IPAM 8.1.3 is running on MySQL Community Server 5.6.17. If IPAM 8.1.3 is installed on Solaris 10 (Sparc), then MySQL is exposed to some security vulnerabilities, for which a MySQL upgrade or patch is recommended.
