Method for merging ip addresses based on routing domain attribute
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11916788B2) outlines a method and apparatus for managing IP addresses in network configurations. The method involves receiving a first IP address through a discovery process, determining the type of discovery process used, assigning a routing domain attribute based on the type of environment (on-premises or cloud), and merging duplicate IP addresses. Additionally, the method includes adding the routing domain attribute to a configuration management database (CMDB) and determining the uniqueness of IP addresses based on routing domain attributes.
The apparatus described in the patent includes a processor and memory storing machine-readable instructions for receiving IP addresses, determining routing domain attributes, and merging duplicate IP addresses. The instructions also cover determining IP address types (private or public), assigning attributes in the CMDB, and differentiating between client and data center IP addresses. The apparatus aims to streamline IP address management by efficiently identifying duplicates and maintaining accurate routing domain information for network configurations.
