3.2.1 Thick Client Menus

Policies Menu – VitalQIP helps you define and establish policies or methods that network planners use
to enforce consistent rules for particular management and configuration aspects of VitalQIP.
•
DHCP/Bootp Templates – This function allows users to create and modify templates for DHCP
and/or Bootp servers. This allows the definition of option values (such as the DNS server option
mentioned earlier) to be provided to a DHCP or Bootp client requesting an IP address. Templates
help organize groupings of option values for assignment on particular scopes, subnets, servers or
for particular user or vendor classes.
•
Client class – This allows definition of a user class or vendor class along with associated DHCP
or policy option templates. User or vendor class provides for assignment of DHCP or policy
options based upon the user class or vendor class setting independent of the scope, subnet or even
server on which the request was received. This is useful for consistently handling RAS devices
for example, or for defining option values for particular service levels.
•
Naming policies – These policies allow the definition of a naming convention for objects
created in VitalQIP either statically or dynamically through DHCP or Bootp. The naming uses a
user-defined numerical prefix or suffix and a text field in between based on the type of object
being created.
•
Global policies – These policies allow customization of standard system wide behavior, with
respect to dynamic DNS, reports, billing and more.
•
Manufacturer profiles – Allows definition of valid manufacturers and their associated MAC
(media access control) address prefix.
•
Location profiles – These profiles establish locations that can be associated with subnets and/or
individual IP objects.
•
Contact profiles – Contact information profiles are established, which can later be associated
with subnets and/or individual IP objects.
•
User defined attributes – VitalQIP provides the flexibility to allow user defined fields for
objects, subnets, and users to be created.
Infrastructure Menu – This menu allows the creation of the overall IP infrastructure of the customer's
network, from IP networks, domains, and even administrators
•
Organization – Each organization is considered an entity independent of other organizations
defined in VitalQIP. As such, each organization can have its own private address space (per RFC
1918). This feature is useful when managing a merger of two or more companies or for service
providers wishing to provide customer network management, allow a customer or Organization
visibility only to its own portion of the network.
