## What it is
phpIPAM is an open-source web-based IP address management (IPAM) application written in PHP with a MySQL/MariaDB backend. It provides IPv4/IPv6 subnet and address management, VLAN/VRF tracking, automatic subnet scanning, and a full REST API for integration.

## Use cases
- manage ipv4 and ipv6 subnets and ip addresses
- track vlan and vrf assignments across the network
- discover free space in subnets automatically
- scan subnets to check ip address status
- import subnets from RIPE or XLS/CSV files
- integrate ip address data into other tools via rest api
- manage rack layouts and network devices
- delegate ip requests to admins with per-group permissions

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted, lightweight IPAM with a web UI
- you want IPv4/IPv6, VLAN, VRF, and rack management in one tool
- you need a REST API to automate IP address provisioning
- you want AD/LDAP/RADIUS authentication and per-group permissions

## When to avoid
- you need full enterprise IPAM features like IPAM-DHCP-DNS unified suites (e.g. NetBox-style DCIM too)
- you cannot run a PHP webserver with MySQL/MariaDB
- you need a cloud-native multi-tenant IPAM solution
