IPAM Visualization Behavior

The initial IPAM tree is designed as a dense operational view rather than a diagram.

Supported Behavior

  • group prefixes by VRF
  • expand and collapse VRF sections
  • expand and collapse nested prefixes
  • select a prefix for detail inspection
  • show utilization bars for each visible prefix

Interaction Rules

  • root VRF groups are expanded by default
  • root prefixes are expanded by default
  • deeper branches expand on demand
  • selection is single-select
  • utilization display remains stable during expansion changes

UI Goals

  • preserve readability under moderate depth
  • expose utilization without needing a separate report
  • avoid recursive rendering work during every interaction by using pre-flattened rows
