WAN Public IP

[JHarrison712]

Good morning everyone,

We are implementing NetBox at our organization and we have multiple public IP in different range say 12.13.14.15,16,19 so we skipped 17 & 18 because we didn't order those at first. Is there an way the Circuit tie into the IPAM for WAN network range? Also can someone please explain VRF?

Thank you,
John

Is there an way the Circuit tie into the IPAM for WAN network range?

Not directly as far as I know. If a circuit connects to an interface via a circuit termination, then the interface's IP address will be one of the addresses in the prefix. But otherwise you can use the comments field, or create a custom field (e.g. a custom object or multi-object field could point to a Prefix, or a Range, or individual IPAddress objects).

Also can someone please explain VRF?

VRFs are separate layer 3 routing domains with their own forwarding tables - a bit like how VLANs are isolated, when you're talking about layer 2 networks.

From Netbox's point of view: if you have two customers both using 192.168.1.1, and you put them in different VRFs, then Netbox won't complain that they are conflicting IP addresses.
