Planner for external networks

[JBirSP]

Hi!

I find the planner and generator features very useful for our Azure environments. I would like to use those tools (especially the planner) for our office networks as well. Is this possible?

Hi @JBirSP, of course you can.

By creating a Space/Block that represents your office network, you can user the Externals feature to create a CIDR that is outside of Azure. When you create an External network, this will mark that CIDR space as used for the given Block and will reflect as such when using tools like the Planner

Furthermore, you can define Subnets & Endpoints for on-premises networks if you so choose within the Externals configuration section as well.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you need any further clarification on this feature!

Actually, I take that back @JBirSP...only Azure Virtual Networks show up currently using the Planner tool, not External Networks.

I'll get this addressed right away. I agree this should be available for both Azure and External Networks within the tool.

This will be available in Azure IPAM v3.6.0.

Thanks! We'll be looking forward to that update 👍
