Cisco Prime IP Express 
Q.  What is Cisco Prime? 
A.  The Cisco Prime
™
 portfolio of IT and service provider management offerings empowers organizations to more 
effectively manage their networks and the services they deliver. Built on a service-centered foundation, Cisco 
Prime supports integrated lifecycle management through an intuitive workflow-oriented user experience, 
providing A-to-Z management for evolved programmable networks, mobility, video, cloud, and managed 
services. 
Q.  What is Cisco Prime IP Express? 
A.  Cisco Prime IP Express provides integrated, reliable Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and IP Address Management (IPAM) (DDI) services for both IPv4 and IPv6. 
The solution includes the following integrated components - all supporting both IPv4 and IPv6: 
● 
DNS services for IP address translation and service delivery 
● 
A DNS caching server that supports forwarding, DNS recursion, and DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) 
to prevent cache poisoning and other attacks 
● 
DHCP services for device network access 
● 
A powerful, comprehensive IPAM system to automate and manage all IP address requirements 
Q.  An integrated bring-your-own-device (BYOD) captive portal server is included with the DHCP and DNS 
components. What is the BYOD captive portal? 
A.  The BYOD captive portal allows employees to use their own mobile devices for business communications in a 
managed way. When a user attempts to connect a BYOD device to a Cisco Prime IP Express DHCP network 
for the first time, he or she will be automatically redirected to the BYOD registration web portal. Here, the user 
must register the device by logging in with existing Microsoft Active Directory (AD) credentials. 
Q.  Does Cisco Prime IP Express support multiple AD groups? 
A.  Yes, Cisco Prime IP Express administrators may be assigned to one or more AD administrator groups. 
Q.  Who should deploy Cisco Prime IP Express? 
A.  Cisco Prime IP Express is designed for enterprises that need a reliable, secure DDI solution for centralized 
management. Organizations managing more than 5000 IP addresses would benefit from using the IPAM 
component. 
Q.  Where and when can I obtain part number information for Cisco Prime IP Express 8.2? 
A.  Part numbers for full and upgrade product IDs (PIDs) are available in the Ordering Guide for Cisco IP Express 
Version 8.2 on Cisco.com.
