A single IPAM server can perform multiple management functions for multiple domains. You can also restrict an IPAM server to specific roles or limit the scope of servers to be managed. IPAM security groups can also be used to assign unique responsibilities to Administrators. See the following topics for information about configuring these roles and responsibilities.
Some reasons you might want to configure unique IPAM server roles include:
-
IPAM servers are deployed in the organization using a distributed or hybrid deployment topology.
-
Multiple IPAM servers are deployed at a single site.
-
A site managed by an IPAM server has unique requirements.
-
You are expanding your IPAM deployment.
-
You are adding new sites or domains to your organization.
-
You are configuring the scope of management for an IPAM server as part of a staged deployment.
IPAM server roles can be assigned by configuring the scope of server discovery and customizing server manageability. IPAM servers can also be assigned to specific functions such as address space management, multi-server management, or network audit by using IPAM security groups. To perform these tasks, see Configure IPAM Server Roles.
When you install IPAM Server, the following local role-based IPAM security groups are created:
-
IPAM Users
-
IPAM MSM Administrators
-
IPAM ASM Administrators
-
IPAM IP Audit Administrators
-
IPAM Administrators
For more information about IPAM security groups, see IPAM Server. To configure these security groups, see Assign Administrator Roles.
