OpenNetAdmin
OpenNetAdmin is a free, open-source, self-hosted IP address management system for tracking network attributes and supporting configuration work. Its inventory can include DNS names, IP addresses, subnets, MAC addresses, IPv6 addresses, VLANs, DHCP pools, NAT, and custom attributes. Administrators can manage records through an AJAX-enabled web interface or use the command-line interface for scripting and bulk work. The project describes the inventory as manually maintained and authoritative, with discovery tools helping to populate and audit it. Templates and backend processes can generate DNS, DHCP, and router configurations, including for distributed servers. Other capabilities include overlapping DNS views, plugins, LDAP and local authentication, and configuration archives with syntax-highlighted comparisons. BIND-DLZ can query the ONA database directly, and host actions can link to applications such as Splunk, Nagios, Cacti, and Base. The core is released under GPLv2.0, though some add-ons may have separate licenses. The features page says multiple database backends are possible, but only MySQL is tested.
