phpIPAM is used to document our network VLAN and subnet structure. We are able to document our Internet Service Provider(ISP), detailed circuit information and all contact information. It provides us with a way to have well-documented Firewall Zones along with routings. All the information within phpIPAM is easy to search and find quickly.
