Abstract
A schema is generated from a start IP address, a mask, and a desired level. The schema defines IPv4 addresses for nodes in the schema. The nodes represent addressable computer devices in an organization. For each node and using the generated schema, an IP address, a mask, and a net are computed. The schema is stored. Information for presenting the schema is provided for use in a user interface. The information includes information for displaying visualizations of groups of nodes in the schema and instructions for listening for events based on user interactions that modify node information for nodes in the schema. Information for modified nodes is received in the user interface and generated from triggered events. The stored schema is updated using the information for the modified nodes.
