LightMesh IPAM

IP Planning and Visualization

Managing an IP plan can be complex, often leading to inefficiencies and manual errors. Tidal LightMesh simplifies IP planning with graphical subnet visualizations, offering both a high-level network view and the ability to drill down into individual IP addresses and connected devices. This visual approach enhances network transparency, reduces IP conflicts, and streamlines subnet allocation, making it easy for teams to track, plan, and scale their infrastructure.

Audit History

In dynamic IT environments, tracking changes is critical for security and compliance. LightMesh provides a comprehensive audit trail, allowing users to review, rollback, and replay configuration changes with ease. Unlike traditional solutions, LightMesh goes beyond basic logs, offering a time-machine-like functionality that enables teams to monitor and revert network modifications, ensuring stability and accountability across environments.

Network Discovery

LightMesh automates network discovery, eliminating the need for manual tracking. With web-based and command-line discovery tools, it can scan networks of any size, including segmented and air-gapped environments. Additionally, users can import IP data from spreadsheets for a seamless transition from legacy systems. This ensures organizations always have an accurate and up-to-date view of their network topology.

Permissions Management

Effective access control is essential for managing IT infrastructure securely. LightMesh features fine-grained role-based access control (RBAC), ensuring that users only see the data relevant to their roles. IT teams, finance departments, and network engineers can work within the same system while maintaining data privacy and security, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

DNS & DHCP Integration

LightMesh integrates with existing DNS and DHCP servers, offering a unified view of IP addresses, MAC addresses, DHCP lease information, and DNS host records. This eliminates the need for multiple management tools, providing centralized visibility into IP allocations and ensuring seamless IP address tracking across hybrid networks.

Multi-Group Security Permissions

For managed service providers (MSPs) and enterprise IT teams, LightMesh supports multi-group security permissions, allowing users to be assigned to one or more specific organizations or business units. This ensures that teams can only manage the data assigned to them, catering to multi-jurisdictional compliance and security requirements in enterprise environments.
