infrastructure/docs/11-NETWORK-ASSET-INVENTORY.md
jazzymc 0f3fda945f Add network asset inventory and management tool recommendations 
- Created 11-NETWORK-ASSET-INVENTORY.md with full device inventory
- Documented 30+ devices from DHCP/ARP tables
- Categorized devices: Infrastructure, Secure, IoT, Kids
- Added MAC vendor reference table
- Recommended NetBox as primary IPAM/DCIM tool
- Listed alternative tools: phpIPAM, Snipe-IT, GLPI, etc.
- Added action items for unknown device identification

Proposed VLAN Assignment Summary

VLAN Subnet Device Count Access Level
1 (Mgmt) 192.168.31.0/24 3 Network devices only
10 (Secure) 192.168.10.0/24 ~8 Full access (admin devices)
20 (IoT) 192.168.20.0/24 ~15 Internet + HA only
30 (Kids) 192.168.30.0/24 ~5 Internet only
40 (Guest) 192.168.40.0/24 0 Internet only, isolated

Action Items

  • Identify unknown devices (192.168.31.22, .118, .131, .138, .40)
  • Map CSS326 switch ports to devices
  • Verify all Tuya devices are correctly identified
  • Confirm printer should be IoT or needs Secure access
  • Decide if Compusbg-iPad is Kids or Guest
  • Check if any IoT devices need wired connection

Self-Hosted Network Asset Management Tools

Recommended: NetBox (Best Overall)

Feature Details
Description Industry-standard IPAM & DCIM tool
Docker netboxcommunity/netbox
Features IP address management, device inventory, rack diagrams, circuit tracking, VLAN management, API
Best For Comprehensive network documentation
URL https://netbox.dev 
# Docker Compose snippet
services:
  netbox:
    image: netboxcommunity/netbox:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    depends_on:
      - postgres
      - redis

Alternative Options

Tool Best For Docker Image Notes
Snipe-IT Physical asset tracking snipe/snipe-it Great for hardware inventory, barcodes
GLPI IT asset management + helpdesk diouxx/glpi Full ITSM solution
Ralph Data center asset management allegro/ralph Good for servers/racks
Racktables Rack/network documentation racktables/racktables Lightweight, classic
phpIPAM IP address management only phpipam/phpipam-www Simple IPAM, easy setup
Nautobot NetBox fork with extras networktocode/nautobot More plugins, enterprise features

Quick Comparison

Tool IPAM Device Inventory VLAN Mgmt API Complexity
NetBox ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Medium
phpIPAM ✅ Basic ✅ ✅ Low
Snipe-IT ❌ ✅ ❌ ✅ Low
GLPI Plugin ✅ Plugin ✅ Medium
NetAlertX ❌ ✅ (auto) ❌ ✅ Low

Recommendation for Your Setup

NetBox is the best choice because:

  1. Manages VLANs, IP ranges, and prefixes
  2. Documents all network devices with relationships
  3. Tracks cables and connections
  4. Has powerful API for automation
  5. Integrates with Ansible for network automation
  6. Can import from MikroTik via API scripts

Quick Start:

# Clone NetBox Docker
git clone https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker.git
cd netbox-docker
docker compose up -d
