Management Platform
IP Address Management
Aaron Hughes, a co-founder of 6connect, has worked in the network infrastructure management field for over a decade. During that time, he has been exposed to a variety of network architectures and issues surrounding management of network assets. He quickly realized that conventional network management tools tended to be expensive, slow and difficult to integrate into other systems.
Aaron has created a more effective IP address management tool covering IPv4, IPv6 and dual-stacked environments.
Feature highlights:
- Deployable in Service Provider or Enterprise environments (up to /8 supported)
- Full support for IPv4 and IPv6
- Manages IP allocations and assignments for public and private IP space
- Automatic CIDR/subnetting
- SWIP data management
- Support for multi-cast environments
- Customizable role-based authentication based on your business requirements
- Customizable report templates (IPv4 Utilization and IPv6 HD Ratio included)
- Support for workflow capabilities with optional integrated ticketing system
– Optional router integration for enhanced automation with built in configuration checks
– Optional integration into ERP/CRM systems
- Can function as standalone application or dedicated module as part of current system or DB structure
- Multiple options for data migration (import and export)
– Fully customizable interface

Peering Management and Automation
Available as a module to our IPAM tool above or as a standalone application, peering automation allows for simple management of peering connections and identification of peering opportunities for your ASN. By using data from routers and exchange points, peering request management is much simpler and more cost effective through automation.
Some feature highlights:
- Configures peering sessions automatically
– Integrates with NMS for session info/alerts
– Finds missing peering sessions
– Updates ASN information for contact data

DNS Management
Based on requests from our clients dissatisfied with other DNS zone management solutions – we have developed a DNS Management plugin to our platform suite.
Some feature highlights:
- Manages forward and reverse DNS records
- Built-in error checking for zone files
- DNSSEC ready
- Workflow support for change queues and approval in addition to implementation
- Supports SPF records and all record types
This feature is now in beta and integrated with our platform.

Bandwidth Capacity Management
Building on client requests – we found a distinct need to augment typical network management tools with better ways to project trends and analytics for end-to-end network architectures.
This feature is in development and will be integrated with our platform.
