IPAM

APIs
Assign, resolve and manage — three DDI functions under one management platform.

Every IP service starts with dependable address assignment and name resolution.

As subscriber and network environments grow across more addresses, clusters and locations, DHCP, DNS and IPAM become harder to operate as separate systems. Tru’IP brings them together in one managed DDI environment.

Built for operator-scale networks

More addresses should not mean more operational complexity.

A large service-provider network may be allocating millions of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses while managing DNS records, multiple DHCP and DNS clusters, regional infrastructure and constantly changing address resources.
Network teams need to know which addresses are available or allocated, maintain consistent lease information, keep DNS services available and understand service conditions across the wider environment.
DHCP

Assign and track IP addresses

IPv4/IPv6 allocation, policy-based assignment, lease management and clustered availability.
DNS

Resolve and manage network names

Scalable DNS services with centralized records, DNS policy and security controls.
IPAM

Keep address resources visible

Centralized inventory, prefix tracking, duplicate-subnet detection and utilisation visibility.

How it works

Three core DDI functions, one operational framework.

Tru’IP combines purpose-built DHCP and DNS services with IP address management and centralized control for large-scale network environments.
TRU’IP DHCP

Assign addresses with policy and resilience

Support IPv4 and IPv6 services with dynamic and static assignment, policy-based allocation, DHCP packet-integrity validation and real-time or historical client lease-status queries.
Parallelized DHCP service and lease management, active-active clustering and dynamic cluster scaling help operators maintain continuity as demand grows.
DHCPv4 · DHCPv6 · Policy allocation · Active-active HA
TRU’IP DNS

Apply DNS policy without creating another operational silo

Manage DNS records centrally with real-time updates, configurable record types and a choice of DNS service modes for the network architecture.
Policy-based DNS supports IPv4 and IPv6 views, source and destination IP grouping, configurable domains and resource-record balancing.
DNSSEC · DNS views · IP group policy · Record balancing
TRU’IP IPAM + CMS

Keep address resources and DDI operations visible

Track available, reserved and allocated prefixes through a centralized IP address-management inventory, with subnet-utilisation and duplicate-subnet visibility.
CMS provides centralized cluster configuration, diagnostics, reporting, log consolidation, patch maintenance and REST or WebSocket integration.

Tru’IP IPAM is integrated into the Tru’IP CMS platform rather than deployed as a standalone appliance.

Designed for service-provider operations

Scale DDI infrastructure without losing operational control.

Large networks need more than raw DHCP or DNS performance. Operations teams need resilience, visibility and consistent control across distributed infrastructure.

Scale address services as demand grows

Support large IPv4 and IPv6 environments, high DHCP lease volumes and clustered services without managing every node as an isolated system.

Design for service continuity

Build resilience into critical IP services across distributed network environments, with active-active DHCP clustering and recovery capabilities.

Apply policy to diverse service environments

Use flexible allocation and DNS policy controls as access, subscriber and service requirements evolve across the network.

Give operations a shared picture

Monitor service conditions, investigate lease activity, consolidate operational logs and use historical data for IP planning and compliance.

DDI FAQs

Useful answers for DDI planning.

These answers explain the core product terminology without turning the page into a technical manual.

What does DDI mean?

DDI combines DNS, DHCP and IP address management (IPAM) to provide the core services needed to assign, resolve and manage IP addresses across a network.

Does Tru’IP support IPv4 and IPv6?

Tru’IP DHCP supports IPv4 and IPv6 address assignment, while Tru’IP IPAM provides centralized visibility over address resources and prefixes.

Is Tru’IP IPAM a standalone appliance?

No. Tru’IP IPAM is integrated into Tru’IP CMS, the central management environment for DHCP and DNS clusters.
