Python Network Programming

Access of IP Address Management (IPAM)

Another requirement in networking is to use the IPAM database for IPAM. It is provided by different vendors, and as an example here, we would refer to SolarWind's IPAM. SolarWinds is again an industry standard tool for monitoring and performing various functionalities on a network, and it has a good set of APIs to interact with using its ORION SDK toolkit.

In Python, we can install the library orionsdk to achieve interaction with SolarWinds. Let's see an example in which we fetch the next available IP address from the IPAM module in SolarWinds:

from orionsdk import SwisClientnpm_server = 'mysolarwindsserver'username = "test"password = "test"verify = Falseif not verify: from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions ...
