NetBox is a solution for modeling and documenting modern networks.
By combining the traditional disciplines of IP address management (IPAM) and datacenter infrastructure management (DCIM) with powerful APIs and extensions, NetBox provides the a “source of truth” to power network automation.
This is free and open source software.
Myriad infrastructure components can be modeled in NetBox, including:
- Hierarchical regions, site groups, sites, and locations.
- Racks, devices, and device components.
- Cables and wireless connections.
- Power distribution.
- Data circuits and providers.
- Virtual machines and clusters.
- IP prefixes, ranges, and addresses.
- VRFs and route targets.
- L2VPN and overlays.
- FHRP groups (VRRP, HSRP, etc.).
- AS numbers.
- VLANs and scoped VLAN groups.
- Organizational tenants and contacts.
