Features

This extension allows CMDB managers to get live MAC address information either from a generic form where a MAC address or a prefix can be requested or directly from the details page of CIs that do have one or more MAC address attributes.

The MAC information is retrieved from the MACLookup site that is updated with the latest information from the IEEE directory. It contains:

  • Block start, end, size and type
  • Company name, address and country
  • Last update

Limitations

The extension relies on the public web site https://api.maclookup.app/. Therefore, it requires an access to the public Internet from the server hosting TeemIp.

Requirements

Beside the capability for TeemIp to reach the public Internet (see above), there is no specific requirement with that extension. TeemIp MAC Address Lookup is embedded in TeemIp standalone starting with TeemIp 2.7.

When installed on an iTop application, make sure that 'IPAM for iTop' is installed as well.

Installation

Installation on a TeemIp standalone is done with the application itself, through the setup.

When adding the module on an iTop application, follow the Standard installation process.

Licensing

Configuration

No specific configuration is required in TeemIp's configuration file or in IP configs for that extension.

MAC Lookup menu

Once installed, the extension will alter the IP Management menu by adding a sub menu group under the Tools section.

FIXME – Documentation to be completed.
