[ixpmanager] switch add to ixp manager + ixp manager installation

[Nick Hilliard (INEX)]

The route server should have one interface on the peering LAN and 
another on the management LAN.

> Dear All,

> Currently, I am running IXP manager in Ubuntu 18 server which is

> Switch 2930F which I want to connect with IXP manager. I think that 
> IXP manager should also be in the same LAN in which my IXP is running. 
> Can I connect the switch (or IXP) to IXP manager which is running

> And similarly, How will customers with dummy IP addresses be detected
