DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CDDM AND CNR V.2.5
Considerable development effort went into simplifying the transition from CDDM to Network Registrar. The CDDM engineering team
developed a set of conversion tools that allows customers to migrate their data from CDDM to CNR. The CNR engineering team added some
features unique to CDDM into CNR. However, it was not practical to implement 100 percent of the functionality of CDDM into CNR. The
following areas have differences in functionality:
•
NTP, TFTP, and Syslog Servers—The NTP, TFTP, and Syslog servers in CDDM are not available in Cisco Network Registrar and there are
no plans to add this functionality. CDDM was primarily used to provide DNS and DHCP services and the other services are generally
available for free on UNIX systems. Many commercial and public domain versions of NTP, TFTP, and Syslog are available for Windows
NT. Customers may also run CDDM and CNR at the same time as long as the DNS and DHCP servers are disabled in CDDM.
•
Platform Support—Cisco Network Registrar V.2.5R1, the current shipping version of the product, only supports Solaris and Windows NT.
Support for HP-UX and IBM AIX on PowerPC platforms will be automatically shipped in Q1 CY 99. Support for IBM AIX on the Power2
architecture has been dropped.
