phpipam-scripts

This is a set of scripts designed to access phpIPAM database from a DHCP/DNS server.

phpipam-hosts

phpipam-hosts will let you generate customized host lists which can be included in ISC DHCP Server or dnsmasq configuration. You can also create /etc/hosts and /etc/ethers files.

To include a generated host list in any section of the ISC DHCP Server configuration, you can add in the dhcpd configuration file:

include "/path/to/host-list";

To see available configuration options, run phpipam-hosts -h

Features

• generate multiple host lists from one database and automatically restart DHCP server if any list changed
• filter hosts by phpIPAM sections, subnets and host state (active, reserved, offline, dhcp)
• check MAC address validity and automatically comment out invalid hosts in the finished configuration file
• optionally generate host list with only invalid hosts for easier debugging

Requirements

• Python
• python-mysqldb
• installed and configured phpIPAM (can be installed on a different host than phpipam-hosts)

Installation

Install phpipam-hosts in a directory in your $PATH, for example /usr/local/sbin. Save provided example configuration file in /etc/dhcp/phpipam.conf and modify default database configuration to reflect your environment.

phpipam-hosts is designed to run periodically from cron, access phpIPAM database and generate specified host lists. You can either add entries with specified arguments in cron directly (run phpipam-hosts --help to see list of available options) or write your configuration in main configuration file (/etc/dhcp/phpipam.conf by default) and access it using --group option.

Example cron entry which generates a single host list and restarts dhcpd daemon if host list is changed:

*/5 * * * * root /usr/local/sbin/phpipam-hosts -o /etc/dhcp/dhcpd-hosts.conf -x

You can use an example phpipam-hosts-wrapper script to generate multiple host files and restart dhcpd if any one of them changes. To do that, you should configure different host files with the same trigger file.j
