IPmanager is the control panel that can be used as a centralized web-interface for IP addresses management. IP addresses are allocated to dedicated servers. With IPmanager you can:
- do not allocate one and the same IP address to different servers;
- set up and configure the name server to manage PTR-records.
A control panel administrator can grant unique permissions on IP ranges and groups to every user account.
For more information please refer to the article IPmanager setup and configuration.
VMmanager
Navigate to Integration→ IPmanager.
- Integration with IPmanager — select the checkbox to allocate IP addresses to dedicated servers from IPmanager. Otherwise, the IP addresses will be allocated from the IP pool in DCImanager → Settings→ IP address pool;
- IPmanager URL — a full URL to IPmanager;
- Username — the user in IPmanager. His credentials will be used for integration. You must create the account in IPmanager before you integrate it with DCImanager;
- Password — enter the IPmanager user password.
IP address pool
Some functions and additional modules in DCImanager use several types of IP addresses. Every type means a group of IP addresses created in IPmanager. You can manage IP groups in Settings → IP address group:
To use IP addresses from a certain group, you must grant the corresponding permissions to the user account which is used for integration with DCImanager. Log in to IPmanager as Admin and navigate to Dashboard → Users → Permissions:
Empty permission list means that the selected user cannot use IP ranges.
