Configuration and Management
IP Manager For WHMCS allows you to manage dedicated IP addresses' subnets, automatically assigning them to clients, products, servers, addons and configurable options. The module enables clients to manage and order dedicated IP addresses, IPv4 or IPv6. |
Subnets
To manage subnets via IP Manager For WHMCS you have to add them first. Remember that it is crucial to configure any IP reservation rules before you create any subnets. If you add rules later on, they may not work properly. |
Create Subnet
To begin, add a new IP address subnet by pressing the 'Add Subnet' button. |
![]() |
First, select IP version: IPv4 or IPv6, then type in the subnet IP address and the correct bitmask. Correct ranges:
Note: The first IP from the subnet should be compatible with CIDR notation. |
![]() |
You can exclude any number of IP addresses from the subnet. To do so, enter them into 'Excluded IP Addresses:' text field, one IP address or IP range per line. |
![]() |
Enter nameservers and gateway addresses into textboxes (this step is optional). |
![]() |
Available IP Subnets And Child Subnets
Once you have added your IP subnets you can preview their details and manage the IP addresses.
You will find a list of subnets in a tree view. |
![]() |
Subnet
Click on the parent subnet or child subnet to see its configuration. Available actions change accordingly. |
![]() |
Information about the address, mask, size, nameservers, gateway, and others can be found here. You can change the gateway and nameservers by clicking the 'Edit' button. |

![]() |
You can exclude IP addresses one by one, or exclude a range of IP addresses. Separate the range with a hyphen ("-"), for example, 192.168.0.3-192.168.0.14. Note that range exclusion currently works for IPv4 only. Separate the addresses by a comma (",") or put each in a new line. Important: If you have any IP reservation rules set up, do not include single IP addresses here. This option should be used as a substitute for using rules. |
![]() |
Assigned Client/Service
If you wish to assign a subnet to a client or specific service, our module makes it available to you. You can achieve that by using an auto-complete textbox to choose the client and/or service. |
![]() |
Keep in mind that a subnet that is assigned to a client is reserved for this client only. While IP addresses are assigned to a client, the following aspects are taken into consideration (in this order):
|
Custom Fields

In this tab you can set up 3rd party integrations which allow you to manage IP addresses through our module in your WHMCS and synchronize changes on 3rd party servers. Note 1: Some of these integration submodules require free IP subnets (cPanel) or IP addresses (Plesk) on servers to be set up. |
Activation of all integration modules looks similar, there is only a difference in cPanel and cPanel Extended integration submodules. Start by pressing the 'Status' toggle button next to the module you want to activate and press the 'Edit' button. |
![]() |
Assign configurations that will use the integration. If the configurations you assigned feature the 'Subnet' assignment type, you can choose if all or only the first IP address should be automatically assigned. |
![]() |
cPanel and cPanel Extended additionally allow you to choose the method of the integration.
|

Integration With Proxmox VE VPS/Cloud VPS For WHMCS
Integration with Proxmox VE VPS For WHMCS and Proxmox VE Cloud VPS For WHMCS is the only one to be set up both on the side of IP Manager For WHMCS and the integrated module. Note: This integration works for LXC and KVM virtualization types.
|
Integration With SolusVM Extended VPS For WHMCS
Integration with SolusVM Extended VPS For WHMCS is tricky. IP Manager For WHMCS cannot inject the first IP address to VPS, due to the way SolusVM API works. |
Creation of Integration Submodule
You can create your own integration, all you need is knowledge of the PHP programming language. 1. First, create a new folder in 'your_whmcs/modules/addons/IpManager3/app/Modules/ '. |
![]() |
2. Create a new .php file inside the new catalog and start editing it. Note: File name has to end with 'Integration', for example, 'NewSubmoduleIntegration.php'. |
![]() |
3. Paste in the following code:
<?php namespace ModulesGarden\IpManager3\App\Modules\IntegrationCustom; use ModulesGarden\IpManager3\App\Services\ModulesService\IntegrationModule; use function ModulesGarden\IpManager3\App\Modules\logModuleCall; class Integration extends IntegrationModule { public function getName(): string { return 'Custom Integration'; } public function getDescription(): string { return 'Custom integration Module description.'; } public function getModuleType(): string { return 'Custom'; } public function showConfiguration(): string { return ''; } public function setIPAddress($ip, $service, $server, $pool, $iteration) { } public function unsetIPAddress($ip, $service = null, $server = null) { } }
|
![]() |
4. Include your integration code in the rest of the structure |
5. You can see your newly added integration in the 'Third Party Integration' section of the 'Utilities'. |

IP Addresses Reservation
You can automate the process of IP address assignment by creating rules that will then be executed while assigning IP addresses from a subnet to clients or services. 'IP Reservation' rules can be configured under the 'Utilities' section. Use the rules consciously because they will be then taken into consideration while assigning all IP addresses from all subnets in the module. Click on the 'Create Rule' button to formulate a new rule. |
![]() |
You need to follow the formulas described in the guide while personalizing your assignment process. To add a new rule, type in the required value in the 'Rule' field and describe it in the 'Rule Name' field. To illustrate: |
![]() |
You can add more that one rule. If you do it thoughtfully, you will have much less work later on while creating new subnets because customized rules will substitute the need to fill out the 'Excluded IP Addresses' area. |
Default Custom Fields - Subnets
In this section, you are allowed to add and configure custom fields that will be assigned to subnets by default. Press the 'Add Default Custom Fields - Subnets' button to begin. |

Logs
The 'Logs' page stores the history of actions ordered on each of the IP addresses. Use the action buttons to see details or delete each log entry. Multiple logs can be deleted at once by utilizing the mass selection function. |
![]() |
Furthermore, the logs feature additional actions. Changing the logs' settings, exporting the logs to a '.csv' file, and a way to delete specific log types. |
![]() |
In the settings you can specify which log types should be recorded, and whether they should be deleted automatically after a specific time. |
![]() |

Dashboard
The 'Dashboard' conveys the most important information as it happens, so there is no need to check any specific module sections during the day-to-day operations. The 'Latest Assigned IP Addresses' widget displays the most recently assigned IP addresses along with the related product, client, and date. |
![]() |
The 'Latest Logs' widget shows the most recent log entries including the id, related item, log message, log type, and date. You can manage the logs through actions and mass actions without the need of going into the 'Logs' tab. |

IP Address Management in Products
Underneath, you will find practical usage of the module. Check how the IP addresses can be managed per product on both the admin and the client sides. Check what option the module offers for product admin and end-users. |
Admin Area
In the 'Products/Services' tab located in your client's profile view in the admin area you can manually assign and unassign IP addresses from the chosen products. To start, select one of the products ordered by your client and press 'Manage IP Addresses' next to the 'Dedicated IP' field. |
![]() |
A new window will pop up, allowing you to manage the assignment of IP addresses. Click on 'Assign IP Addresses' first. Select one of your IP pools from the tree view. In the window to the right, you can select IP addresses from the chosen pool and assign them to your client's product. If any other IP addresses are already assigned to that product, you can replace them by toggling 'Override' . Additionally, toggle the 'Use Submodule' option if you want the 3rd party integration to be used. Please note, however, that this option requires the current list of assigned IP addresses to be overwritten. |
![]() |
You can see assigned IP addresses in the 'Manage Service IP Addresses' tab. 3rd party submodule integration status is also displayed for each assigned IP address. |

![]() |
Tips
1. If your client orders a product that is combined with two configurations (e.g. by product type and configurable option), IP Manager will add IP addresses from both configurations. |
2. If you have used IPv6 block before the update to IP Manager 2.2.0, all of them will be migrated to corresponding subnets. Note that the migration is done automatically for you. |
3. IP Manager For WHMCS requires GMP or BCMath installed on your server. |
4. If API returns the 'Unknown network interface' error when adding a new IP address for Plesk 12 Integration, then you need to modify the new_configuration.json file located in your_whmcs/modules/addons/ipmanager3/app/modules/api/Plesk/. Firstly, change the name of the file from new_configuration.json to configuration.json. Next, open the file and provide the proper name for the interface. To make sure that you provided the appropriate interface name, log in to your Plesk panel, proceed to the 'Tools & Settings -> IP Addresses' section, and check the interface name. |
Update Instructions
An essential guidance through the process of updating the module is offered here. Ensure successful completion of the module update by carefully following each step, thereby preventing data loss or any unforeseen issues. |
Important: If you are updating the module to version 3.0.0, you must deactivate the current addon module and delete its files before performing the update. This will ensure all potential conflicts are avoided. Data migration during the beta is not yet supported. |
Upgrade Guide
Seeking a solution that offers greater flexibility, customization tailored to your precise needs, and unrestricted availability? There is an option that not only proves to be cost-effective in the long run but also includes prioritized support services, making it a truly valuable investment. Opt for the Open Source version of your IP Manager For WHMCS module to unlock these benefits. Follow a comprehensive guide covering the transition process, the advantages it brings, and step-by-step instructions on what to do next after the order has been successfully finalized. |
Common Problems
1. In case of connection problems, please check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports. |
2. If you see an empty box when moving to 'Addon' → 'IP Manager', remove the content of the 'template_c' folder. |
3. If you export a file and it is empty, check your 'Storage' folder chmod, it should be set to 755. Folder is located in 'your_whmcs/modules/addons/ipmanager3' . If you still have that problem, set chmod 777. |
4. For integration with SolusVM Extended For WHMCS, one additional IP address is always assigned to the Solus virtual machine through the IP Manager For WHMCS module, exceeding the quantity specified in the SolusVM product configuration. |
