Patent number: 8825903Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media provide for automated control of the status of network address space. Blocks of networking address space assigned to a network may be allocated from a free status to a new status based upon a request to allocate a particular size block. Blocks of networking address space assigned to a network that have been allocated to a new status may be deallocated to return to a free status based upon a request to deallocate the chosen block. Blocks of networking address space assigned to a network that have been allocated and otherwise manipulated such as through a lend from another network may be reclaimed for the original network upon a request to reclaim the chosen block.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Infoblox Inc.Inventors: Dennis Joseph Boylan, Kenneth Douglas Burroughs, Sean Ming Drun, John Leland Lee, Angela Kristine Schneider

Publication number: 20140122669Abstract: The impact of device configuration changes on operational issues and policy compliance in a computer network can be discerned from a visual data presentation that jointly shows representations of changes, issues, and policy compliance in a common view for a group of network devices. Configuration information is collected from devices in the computer network and processed to determine whether a change has occurred in a configuration of any of the devices, whether any operational issues exist for each of the devices, and whether any of the devices are not in compliance with any applicable operational policies. A display device displays the visual data presentation to allow an operator to see trends and relationships between device configuration changes and operational issues and incidents of policy non-compliance. The visual data presentation can be depicted as a graphical timeline view, a network topology view, or a table view of the information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2013Publication date: May 1, 2014Applicant: Infoblox Inc.Inventors: James D.
