Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.3 Release Notes
 
New Features and Enhancements
The synchronization between version 8.3 and pre-8.3 local clusters must be done from an 8.3 regional cluster. Cisco 
Prime Network Registrar 8.3 protocol servers interoperate with versions 7.2 or later except as noted below.
Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.2 and later DHCPv4 failover servers do not interoperate with Cisco Network 
Registrar 8.0, 8.1failover servers.
The HA protocol version has been updated in Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.0 and communications with earlier 
versions is not supported.
Caution:
By the nature of the EDNS0 protocol, Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.3 DNS servers interoperate with earlier 
versions of Cisco Prime Network Registrar DNS (and third party DNS vendors). EDNS0 defines the interoperability 
with DNS servers that do not support EDNS0. Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.3 DNS adheres to the RFC and 
consequently interoperates with earlier versions of Cisco Prime Network Registrar.
Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.3 DDNSv6 interoperates with Cisco Network Registrar 7.0 and later DNS servers 
because of the use of the DHCID RRs (in place of TXT RRs for DDNSv6).
Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.3 does not interoperate with Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM 8.1.1 or 8.1.2. 
An updated version of Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM is required to interoperate with Cisco Prime Network 
Registrar 8.3.
New Features and Enhancements
This section describes the features added in Cisco Prime Network Registrar 8.3. 
Client-based DNS64 Prefixes 
Cisco Prime Network Registrar DNS caching server supports DNS64, synthesizing AAAA (IPv6) records from A (IPv4) 
records, when an IPv6 client queries for AAAA records. DNS64 also handles reverse queries for the NAT64 prefixes. 
DNS64 with NAT64 provides access to the IPv4 internet and servers for hosts that have only IPv6 addresses. Cisco Prime 
Network Registrar 8.3, now supports up to 30 IPv6 prefixes in synthesis of IPv6 address for IPv4-only server instead of 
single prefix. The requests are matched to DNS64 prefixes using ACLs.
