The 6 most important functions for network and cabling management
IP networks
All Layer 3 networks are clearly recorded, logically linked and displayed in a comprehensible manner at all times.
VLANs
Layer 2 structures can be created transparently and assigned directly to the appropriate networks, ports and devices.
IPAM
Address spaces, subnets and reservations are managed centrally, checked without conflict and clearly visualized.
Reports
All relevant data can be exported as clear, filterable reports and used for audits or planning.
Visualization of the cabling
Cable routes, ports and sockets are automatically mapped so that every connection can be traced at a glance.
Roles & responsibilities
Responsibilities can be clearly defined for each role, area or person, making processes much more structured and secure.
Why is transparency at layer 2 and layer 3 level crucial?
Modern networks are constantly growing, becoming more complex and increasingly virtualized. Without centralized and clean documentation, ambiguities quickly arise: Networks are not clearly recorded, changes remain opaque and new employees find it difficult to find their way around.
i-doit enables the structured documentation of layer 3 networks (IP networks) including netmask, gateway, DNS, domains and VLAN assignment. Layer 2 networks (VLANs) are recorded as separate objects and linked directly to the corresponding layer 3 networks. This creates a clear, comprehensible map of your entire network structure.
Advantages:
- Central overview of all layer 2 and layer 3 networks
- Avoidance of duplications and conflicts thanks to structured recording
- Quick overview of affiliations and connections
- Clearly comprehensible network structure for operation and changes
- Standardized naming and logical linking of all network components
How does IP address management keep subnets, addresses and VLANs in order?
As the number of IP addresses, subnets and VLANs increases, so does the risk of duplicate assignments, inconsistencies and time-consuming troubleshooting. A lack of overview makes operation and planning more difficult.
i-doit structures your IP address spaces centrally. Subnets, IP addresses and VLANs are neatly recorded, logically linked and clearly displayed. Automatic assignments ensure that devices are immediately visible as soon as they receive an IP address.
Advantages:
- Clear structure for subnets, IP addresses and VLANs
- Reduced risk of duplicate assignments and configuration errors
- Quick overview of connections and utilization
- Better security thanks to traceable IP structures
- Time savings in planning, operation and troubleshooting
How does structured cabling management create full transparency?
Confusing patch cabinets, missing labels and undocumented cable routes lead to a great deal of time and unnecessary risks in the event of a fault. Without proper documentation, every change becomes a challenge.
i-doit documents cabling routes end-to-end - from the patch panel to ports and switches to individual network outlets. Every connection is clearly mapped, dependencies become visible and changes can be planned and implemented reliably.
Advantages:
- Complete transparency across cable routes, ports and outlets
- Significantly less search effort in the event of faults and changes
- Reliable planning of conversions and extensions
- Clean and traceable documentation of the infrastructure
- Relief for operations and technology in day-to-day business
