NetChange-IPLocator
ACTIVE IP ADDRESS LOCALIZATION AND TRACKING
The integrity of your IT registered data is of significant value to your company. EfficientIP’s solutions provide tools that allow you to automatically document IP address attributes.
IPLocator™ appliance is a network discovery tool that offers industry-leading network reconciliation capabilities. NetChange-IPLocator™ provides accurate and comprehensive views of network
connections. NetChange-IPLocator™ provides a global vision with a centralized analysis of your
address locations. Automated IP plan documentation removes the need to manually enter this
information into the IPAM repository.
NetChange-IPLocator™ appliance provides comprehensive visibility into IP address connections on the
network by providing the ability to identify, monitor and locate IP address locations on network devices.
This allows you to discover inconsistencies on an ongoing basis and consistently maintain an up to date
IP plan aligned with current and future operations.
Dynamic Devices Documenting
For each IP and MAC address discovered, the NetChange-IPLocator™ appliance will identify the following key information: switch name, switch slot, switch port, switch description, switch OS version, VLAN
number, switch status, port speed, link status, first seen and last seen.
Reclaim Unused IP and MAC Addresses
EfficientIP’s discovery process can identify IP and MAC addresses that have been unused during a given
period of time. Based on this information, it is easy to determine whether IP addresses can be released
or reallocated.

Dynamic Network Devices Documenting
NetChange-IPLocator™ automatically discovers the network equipment by identifying:
•The name
•The type (model description)
•The OS version
•The number of slots and interfaces
In addition NetChange-IPLocator™ automatically discovers the network interface of each network device
and its associated characteristics:
•Name
•Speed
•Slot and port number
•VLAN of the interface
•Status (up or down)
Scheduled Discoveries
NetChange-IPLocator™ enables you to define discovery scenarios by specifying the resources to be
scanned and the frequency. This allows adaptation of the process to best meet your company requirements.

Control IP Port Occupancy Rate
EfficientIP’s discovery process can identify any switch ports which have been unused during a defined
period of time as available for release or reallocation. This is particularly important in the context of datacenters helping to avoid overconsumption of Giga Ethernet ports to unused servers.
Safe Switch Maintenance
NetChange-IPLocator™ identifies all devices connected to a switch and allows you to anticipate the impact of switch maintenance on devices and services, preventing network service downtime.
Remove Infected Devices
Based on discovery results, it is easy to locate and remove an infected station in order to provide optimal
reactivity to security alerts.
Discover Unauthorized Devices
Discoveries made by NetChange-IPLocator™ can send alerts when an unknown device is detected on
the network.
History of IP/MAC Addresses Mobility
NetChange-IPLocator™ identifies and archives any changes in IP or MAC address location on the
network. It brings a global view of the mobility of the company’s stations by address offset -switch, slot,
port and VLAN offset of an IP and/or a MAC address. The displayed, archived information shows when,
where and who was connected and remains connected so that IP and MAC mobility can easily be tracked.

Network Reconciliation
NetChange-IPLocator™ is fully integrated to SOLIDserver™ DDI appliance suite, VLAN Manager and
Device Manager modules delivering a complete reconciliation of NetChange-IPLocator™ discoveries
with network device interfaces, VLAN and DDI repositories. IPLocator™ enables you to compare the
theoretical IP address locations defined in SOLIDserver™’s IPAM repository with discovered information.
At a glance, it is easy to identify inconsistencies and receive alerts by email. Advanced reports supply a
simple, comprehensive and summarized view.
Bandwith Monitoring of Network Device Ports
NetChange-IPLocator™ provides advanced graphs to monitor the bandwidth of your network device
ports. You can easily anticipate ports usage trend and avoid saturation, understand actual bandwidth
consumption to optimize port allocation, and detect unexpected increases in port utilization for proactive
network device management.
Data Exports
NetChange-IPLocator™ allows export of complete data lists (XML, CSV, Excel files) at all levels, using
a resource selector on a web interface. The search engine enables filtering of the data to be exported.
Reports and Statistics
EfficientIP’s solutions supply a variety of reports on network discoveries, enabling proactive analysis of
your network activity and trends. These reports are a powerful tool when used to manage capacity planning and provide a clear understanding of the allocation of network resources. Reports are also valuable
in helping to anticipate and deal with problems.
Advanced Search Engines
The NetChange-IPLocator™ search engine enables multi-criteria searches and the immediate identification of data related to MAC address, IP address and network equipment.
