IPplan is a free, multilingual, self-hosted web application for administering and tracking IP address space.
What IPplan is
IPplan is a free, multilingual, self-hosted web application for administering and tracking IP address space. It can manage one or multiple networks and customer records, including overlapping address ranges. Administrators can find unused address space, split or join networks, search records, view statistics, and review an audit log of contents before and after changes. Network definitions can be imported from routing tables, tab-delimited files, or NMAP XML. For DNS administration, IPplan supports forward and reverse zones, imports existing zones through zone transfer, and exports zone data as XML. Multiple administrators can use group-based profiles and authority boundaries for address space, including read-only groups. Authentication can use IPplan’s internal scheme or an external Apache authentication module, including LDAP-based schemes and SiteMinder. Templates can add custom circuit, host-configuration, and asset fields, while triggers can call user-defined functions on events. An external poller can scan subnets for active addresses; configured SNMP support can read router routing tables. Deployment requires a web server, PHP, and a database. The documentation lists MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server as working options, though some functions may need workarounds with databases other than MySQL.
Good
- Manages multiple networks and overlapping address space.
- Includes DNS zone imports and XML exports.
- Group-based access profiles can include read-only groups.
- Can import network definitions from routing tables and NMAP XML.
- Free under the GPL.
Watch out
- Requires a web server, PHP, and a database.
- Some functions may need workarounds outside MySQL.

Verdict
IPplan offers detailed IP address and DNS administration at no software cost. Its self-hosted requirements and database caveats are important considerations before deployment.
