Object Type: Layer 3 Network#

The Layer 3 Network object type documents IP subnets (IPv4 and IPv6). Each subnet object represents an IP address range and serves as the basis for IP address management in i-doit.

Usage#

• IP Address Management: Document all IP subnets with address, mask, and gateway. i-doit shows occupied and free addresses within the network.
• Object Assignment: Device objects receive their IP addresses through assignment to a Layer 3 network.
• VLAN Linking: Connect Layer 3 networks with Layer 2 networks (VLANs) for complete network documentation.
• Supernet Hierarchy: Assign subnets to a parent supernet for a clear address space hierarchy.
• Reports: Create reports on IP utilization, free addresses, and assigned devices per subnet.
