IP-Atlas: Network Management Made Simple

Managing IP addresses across dozens of devices in our trainee data center was a mess. Commercial IPAM tools were either expensive or way too complex for what we needed.

Features

• Device tracking (hostname, MAC address, location)
• Search to quickly find devices
• Octet-based sorting
• Clean interface for network admins

Octet Sorting

Instead of listing IPs sequentially like most IPAM tools, IP-Atlas groups them by octets. This gives you a hierarchical view that actually mirrors how your network is structured, so you can spot available address blocks at a glance and see how full each subnet is. Works especially well in training environments where things get reconfigured constantly.

Development

Built with a small team of trainees using Flask and SQLite for the backend, TailwindCSS for the frontend. We kept the interface simple so anyone managing a network could pick it up without training.
