existing environments and provide consolidated management of the existing infrastructure.
VitalQIP supports the following DNS/DHCP servers.
Alcatel-Lucent DNS servers
Microsoft DNS servers
Any BIND 8 or 9 compliant DNS server
Alcatel-Lucent Software Appliances in
a Virtual environment
End user PCs, broadband devices, etc. utilize RFC compliant DHCP or DNS transactions to interface
with these servers.

VitalQIP Product Description
Diff Engine – Compares the output of the Network Data Extractor and the
VitalQIP Data Extractor, and based on a configurable set of fields (referred to
as "Diff Keys"), generates a Diff Report showing the differences between the
two sets of data.
Administrative GUI – Permits the configuration of the Network Data Extractor
and the VitalQIP Data Extractor. In addition, it is the mechanism for invoking
each of these processes, and provides access to the various Diff reports.
Request Handler – Handles GUI/CLI requests to run Network Data Extractor,
VitalQIP Data Extractor and Diff Engine. It provides a common interface for all
three requests. It is logically made up of one request handler to interface with
each of the three components of a discovery job. A fourth request handler,
not shown in the illustration, permits all components to be run as a single
request.
