Customise Networks with VLANs etc

complete

The new 2.28 Networks is great but we need additional details for each network; VLAN, DHCP Configuration, DNS Configuration. It would be good to be able to customise Networks.

I would disagree that this feature request is "Complete". You have only implemented the VLAN component of this request. DHCP configuration and DNS configuration has not been included. I also suggested in the comments that a way to add the Gateway would also be good.

Kristen W. How do you add a DHCP range in the network, I can't see any way to do this

Ideal Heron

Kristen W. So is a DHCP range going to be available?

ports/interfaces mapping will be great for firewalls and other network devices

Yes this is lacking. Another nice thing would be similar to IT Glue with the ability to run network scans to help keep this updated or flag things for review.

Meaningful Herring This. Detect devices and update the addresses based on this.

This would be easier if the DHCP server were on a Windows server. Additionally, might be able to leverage existing integrations such as Liongard to do this without the need to create a Hudu scanning agent application.

DHCP as a bare minimum so we can exclude IP blocks.

You can already do this.

Magnificent Silverfish Do you have more info on this? Do you mean just do an export of the fields, add the DHCP scope IP by IP in Excel, then reimport?

Doing excel stuff is too many steps. Just add the IP’s with a type of DHCP for your scope inside the network. You can do a range of them.

Ideal Heron

Magnificent Silverfish How do you add a range, it seems you can only add a single address

It would be nice if the IP addresses from assets were automatically added to the IP address list. Currently, for example, the technician has to enter the IP address of a new device into the “Network devices” asset and then into the IP address list. This is often forgotten, especially when changes are made. This would be a really great function if the fields could be linked in this way and also updated dynamically.
The other requested functions, such as VLAN, DNS and DHCP servers and ranges, gateways, etc. are also absolutely essential.
I hope that this can be implemented soon :-)

Networks was a great concept but completely lacks function.  Adding VLAN Number would start making it functional, integrating with IPs on configurations/assets in the system (ability to turn on or off) would bring continuity to this.  
Adding other things like DNS/DHCP Default gateway are nice in theory but are things that don't get updated as servers get replaced or things change.  
Subnet (already have) and VLAN (need) are the core items that rarely change and would make this a valuable concept

Gateway would also be handy.

Also being able to reference these fields within an Asset Layout to appear on the front search table would be good so you don't have to click into each individual asset.
