IP Address Management

Overview

The IP Address Management (IPAM) service provides centralized control and oversight of IP address space, DNS records, and DHCP configurations across the university’s network. IPAM helps prevent address conflicts, supports device discoverability, and ensures compliance with OSU’s network architecture and naming standards. Whether a device requires a static IP for specialized use or dynamic addressing through DHCP, this service ensures it is properly registered and integrated into the campus infrastructure.
