New features and improvements in IPAM
IPAM 2020.2.6 introduces improved IP Request implementation, providing improved security options and addressing more workflow scenarios. If your environment is making use of the IP Request feature you will need to adjust the settings for a use case that works best for you. Your existing IP request form may not work as intended if you don’t review these settings and make changes. For more details on your options and how to change them, see the IP Address Request Guide (PDF).
IPAM 2020.2.6 is a service release, running on SolarWinds Platform 2020.2.6. To learn more, see the SolarWinds Platform 2020.2.6 release notes.
