Lifecycle
View the complete IP address assignment history for a network.
The Lifecycle page provides a full audit trail of IP address assignments within the selected network. Every assignment event — whether from DHCP, manual entry, or scan-based discovery — is logged with details about who assigned the IP, when it was assigned, and which device received it.
This page is useful for compliance, troubleshooting, and understanding historical IP utilization patterns.
How to Use:
- Go to Stack > IPAM > Networks > select a network > Lifecycle.
- Use the filters to narrow results by IP address, keyword, or date range.
- Browse the paginated table using the Previous and Next controls.
