VitalQIP Product Description
•
Server – This feature provides definition of IP address and name servers to be configured via
VitalQIP. These servers can be Bootp, DHCP, DNS, NIS, or Local (hosts.txt). Several server
parameters appropriate to the server type are defined in this screen.
•
Domain – The domain name hierarchy is defined here along with association with primary and
secondary authoritative DNS servers.
•
Network/Reverse Zones – This feature provides definition of the IP network breakdown and
association address-to-name lookup functions (known as reverse zones in DNS).
•
Non-Managed DNS server – This function is used to define and modify VitalQIP secondary
(slave) DNS servers that are slave for master DNS servers that are managed outside the scope of
VitalQIP. For example, a service provider may wish to offer a full DNS service, but also a lower
cost secondary only service; under the latter case, the customer may run the master DNS servers,
with the service provider providing secondary or slave DNS.
•
OSPF Area – This menu allows users to define their network in terms of OSPF routing areas and
masks.
•
Subnet Organization – These are groupings of subnets and can be used to represent Microsoft
"sites" in a Windows
the subnets within the subnet organization.
•
Application – This function is used to define an "application" to which objects can be
associated. Applications can be used to differentiate between departments, divisions or other
entities that require separate reporting.
•
Administrator – Administrators of the VitalQIP system are defined in this menu. Each
administrator can be assigned a set of infrastructure they can access either as read-only or read-
write selectively. In addition, certain policies can be assigned to administrator functions and even
menu items available to the administrator can be defined.
•
Administrative Role – This function allows definition of a template of administrative
privileges, which can then be assigned to individual administrators. The use of administrative
roles simplifies the modification of infrastructure and associated administrator privileges for a
large number of administrators. The managed list of infrastructure can be changed once in the
role definition, which applies to assigned administrators instead of having to change it
individually for each administrator.
•
User Group – This feature allows users to be grouped so consistent parameters can be associated
with each member of the group.
Import Menu – This menu allows users to import an existing file into the VitalQIP database for one or
more domains, networks, OSPF areas, subnet organizations, objects, MAC address pools, or subnets.
Management Menu – The Management menu provides options to help manage objects, users, and
subnets, on down to MAC addresses.
•
Hierarchy – This function displays the hierarchy of domains, networks, OSPF areas, subnet
organizations and/or subnets.
