I am trying to create a report that shows all of the *used* IP addresses on some subnets.
I will divert here because *used* IP addresses to me are IP addresses that are being used and therefore not available to anything else. However, in IPAM IP addresses can be "used" or "reserved". Just running the stock "used" report does not give you all of the IP addresses being used.
Anyway, back to my issue. I am having trouble because I can't seem to get a system name consistently. The name could be in the System Name field, the DHCP Client Name, or the Host Name. I don't see where I can use the name that is associated with the record in Orion. I also don't get a MAC address consistently but that is not important to me at this point.
The big picture here is: In order for my peers to accept using IPAM as THE IP address list (we currently use both Excel spreadsheets and Sharepoint) I have to make sure that the list is available should either Orion or a network connection go down. My idea is to schedule a report to be saved as a PDF to the DFS share that will then be replicated to each site automatically.
So, I will need the name, IP Address, and possibly some other fields like MAC, descritpion, contact, etc...
Has anyone done this? Any suggestions on how to add the Orion name to the report?
Thanks much in advance!
