While service providers worldwide have begun to adopt IPv6, this challenging
migration is expected to take years. Compounding this is the growth in demand for
network services, driven 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 DNS, 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 Domain Name System (DNS),
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (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 supporting 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/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 graphical user interface 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.
