What NetMagis is

NetMagis is free, open-source network management software for Linux, self-hosted and web deployment. It manages IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, subnet planning, DNS data and DHCP operations in one system. NetMagis generates DNS server data and keeps BIND zone files current, while delegation lets other administrators or non-specialists handle selected DNS work. User groups and fine-grained privileges control access to addresses and domains. Static and dynamic DHCP allocations, including network-boot profiles, are supported. The web interface assigns VLANs to Cisco, HP and Juniper equipment interfaces. NetMagis can generate topology maps for switched or routed networks, expose equipment traffic graphs and locate hosts by IP address, MAC address or equipment port. Accounts can use LDAP or the NetMagis database. The project targets large numbers of networks, users, domains and DHCP profiles, and includes audit history. It dates from 2002; the README names Pierre David, Jean Benoit and Sebastien Boggia as authors.
