Product Overview 

Cisco

® 

Network Registrar is a full-featured solution that provides scalable and high performance Domain Name 

System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services and delivers IP address management 

(IPAM) features to ease administrative tasks. For cable providers, Cisco Network Registrar provides reliable, 

scalable DNS and DHCP services for millions of devices and forms the basis of a DOCSIS

®

 cable modem 

provisioning system. Additionally, Cisco Network Registrar plays an important role in service activation for data, 

voice-over-IP (VoIP), and mobile services. 

As IP networks continue to experience exponential growth in size, complexity, and traffic volume, and as the 

volume of IP addresses and devices continues to explode, network administrators face daunting network 

management challenges. In addition, network operators are beginning to transition to IPv6 and introduce new 

technologies and services into their networks (VoIP, video, cloud computing, virtualization, and so on). All of these 

conditions are driving the need for an integrated DNS, DHCP, IPAM (DDI) solution to effectively manage IP 

address growth and help automate the adoption of IPv6.
