NetBox is an open-source web application that serves as the source of truth for network infrastructure, combining IP address management (IPAM) and data center infrastructure management (DCIM). It provides a curated data model, REST APIs, and a plugin architecture to power network automation workflows.

Use cases

  • document network infrastructure as a source of truth
  • manage IP addresses, prefixes, VLANs and VRFs
  • track data center racks, devices and cabling
  • power network automation from an intended-state model
  • replace spreadsheets for network documentation
  • generate device configurations from infrastructure data

When to choose

  • you need a network source of truth to drive automation tools
  • you want combined IPAM and DCIM in one platform
  • you need REST APIs and plugins for infrastructure data

When to avoid

  • you need a tool that directly configures network devices
  • you want a general-purpose CMDB unrelated to networking
