**IP** **A**ddress **M**anager (IPAM) is Scaleway's tool for planning, tracking and managing the IP address space of Scaleway products. It acts as a single source of truth for the IP addresses of Scaleway resources.

[Read more about IPAM and future planned functionality](/ipam/concepts/#ipam).

You can currently use IPAM in the Scaleway console to manage the IP address space of your Scaleway Private Networks. This document shows you how to list the [private IP addresses](/ipam/concepts/#private-ip-address) of all your Scaleway resources attached to Private Networks.

<Requirements />

- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com)
- [Owner](/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
- At least one resource [attached to a Private Network](/vpc/how-to/attach-resources-to-pn/).

## How to list and filter your private IP addresses

1. Click **IPAM** in the **Network** section of the [Scaleway console](https://console.scaleway.com) side menu.

    A list of your **private IP addresses** for the **region** and **VPC** pre-selected in the filters displays. Addresses are displayed here if they are reserved in IPAM. This means either:

    - You [reserved an address via IPAM](/ipam/how-to/reserve-ip/), or
    - You [attached a resource to a Private Network](/vpc/how-to/attach-resources-to-pn/): this triggers IPAM to reserve and attach an IP address for the resource on the network.

    The full range of IP addresses which are available but unreserved in each of your Private Network's [CIDR blocks](/vpc/concepts/#cidr-block) do not display in the list.

    <Message type="tip">
    When viewing a private IP address in IPAM, it is shown in [CIDR notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing#CIDR_notation). For example, the address `172.16.12.2/22` represents the IPv4 address `172.16.12.2`and its associated CIDR block `172.16.12.0/22`, defined on the [Private Network](/vpc/how-to/create-private-network/#how-to-configure-cidr) and containing 1024 addresses.

2. Modify the filters of the list using the drop-down menus at the top. You can filter for IP addresses within a given **region**, **VPC** and/or **Private Network**. You can also opt to filter for only [IPv4](/ipam/concepts/#ipv4) or [IPv6](/ipam/concepts/#ipv6) addresses:

3. Click **Apply filters** to activate the filters you chose, or **Reset** to reset all filters.
