Although service providers worldwide have begun to adopt IPv6, this challenging
migration is expected to take years. Compounding this transition is the growth in
demands for network services, led by rich-media applications, an increasing number
of connected users, and the explosive growth in connected devices. To meet this
demand, service providers require a full-featured, integrated Domain Name System
(DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and automated IP-address-
management (IPAM) solution to plan, track, and manage IP addresses and ease the
transition to IPv6.

Product Overview
Cisco Prime
™
Network Registrar is a high-performance, scalable, integrated DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (DDI) solution
that supports the IPv4-to-IPv6 transition and allows dual-stack deployments on a single server. The solution
includes the following integrated components and their respective services, all of which support both IPv4 and
IPv6:
●
A single DHCP server for device network access
●
A single DNS server for IP address translation and service delivery
●
A DNS caching server that supports DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) and is designed to prevent cache
poisoning and other attacks
●
A powerful, comprehensive IPAM system to automate and manage all IP address requirements
Features and Capabilities
●
IP address block management: Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM is an easy-to-use, reliable solution
with comprehensive management of IP address space including IP address blocks and subnets managed
by service providers. Innovative tools provide centralized, full-lifecycle support of IP addresses, facilitating
easy, integrated management of IPv4 and IPv6 address space, address assignment, and allocation and
reallocation, as well as DHCP and DNS configurations, all in one solution.
Automation improves operational efficiencies and service levels and helps eliminate IP conflicts and
configuration errors, reducing downtime of DHCP and DNS services and lowering network operating costs.
With the ability to discover, track, allocate, assign, and reclaim IP addresses automatically and tools to
model IP data, service providers can significantly streamline operations.
●
Visibility: Cisco Prime Network Registrar dashboards provide real-time visibility into IPv4 and IPv6
networks, subnet usage, and device connections for faster troubleshooting. An intuitive GUI promotes ease
of use and boosts user productivity. The IPAM component allows detailed IP audit reporting and diagnostics
as well as operator-defined thresholds and alerts that provide notification of impending address depletion.
