Abstract

Embodiments described herein provide devices, methods, and systems for managing IPv6 and IPv4 addresses within an IP address management (IPAM) system, wherein various subnets are associated with administrator-defined names, which are semantic labels. Such semantic labels may be combined to yield the IP addresses in a user-friendly manner.
