● 

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 IPv4 and IPv6 address requirements 

Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM can be deployed as a standalone application or can be integrated with the 

DHCP and DNS server components of Cisco Prime Network Registrar. In addition, it cohesively supports Internet 

Systems Consortium (ISC DHCP and BIND 9 DNS) and Microsoft DHCP and DNS services. With this multivendor 

support on existing infrastructure, IT managers no longer have to maintain multiple management consoles or deal 

with complex command-line interfaces (CLIs).

Features and Capabilities 

Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM provides the following features: 

Manageability: Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM provides simplified, centralized management and control of 

IP address space. Automation allows network operators to achieve significant operational efficiencies, lower IP 

address management overhead, and handle rapid IP and network expansion. IP conflicts and configuration errors 

are eliminated - reducing downtime of DHCP and DNS services and lowering network operating costs. With the 

ability to discover, track, allocate, and reclaim IP addresses automatically and tools to model IP data, organizations 

can easily move away from manual systems. 

Consolidation of IPv4/IPv6 address management: Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM includes integrated, full-

lifecycle management for IPv4 and IPv6. The solution helps ease the transition to IPv6 with the ability to discover 

and take inventory of IPv4 and IPv6 resources, plan and model the way an IPv6 network is deployed, and map a 

current IPv4 network and devices to an IPv6 space. 

Visibility: Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM provides real-time visibility into IPv4 and IPv6 networks, subnet 

usage, and device connections for faster troubleshooting and promotion of collaboration across the organization 

The solution also offers detailed IP audit reporting and diagnostics as well as operator-defined thresholds and 

alerts that provide notification of impending address depletion.
