VitalQIP Product Description
Features
leveraging key information across a common centralized database, streamlining administration and
improving the integration of multiple applications.
3.12 Flexible Subnet Management
Today's networks must be updated constantly to keep up with frequent moves, mergers, and
reorganizations that cause address space to become fragmented. VitalQIP software handles true Variable
Length Subnet Masking (VLSM), so subnets can be easily split up or joined with other contiguous ones,
eliminating the need for time-consuming manual spreadsheets. By providing a view of the entire IP
infrastructure, the software provides a customizable management framework that allows assigning IP
address space to specific administrators or groups of administrators across domains, networks, and
subnets. VitalQIP software makes changes and implements reconfigurations quickly and seamlessly,
allowing copying an existing subnet's information, such as the mask, to the newly created subnet. It
allows also setting thresholds that, if exceeded, automatically generate warning messages.
3.13 Customized User Interface
VitalQIP software delivers a user interface that streamlines operations and allows planning, modeling,
and building an IP network that truly reflects the organization's structure and goals. For instance, the
user-definable attributes capability can be used to track information within the VitalQIP software.
The new feature called My-View within VitalQIP, will provide additional flexibility in tailoring the GUI
view to the end User and how network hierarchy diagrams are displayed. These user-definable views
improve ease-of-use by providing customer-specific representations of network objects.
3.14 Administrative Roles
An Administrative Role is a collection of infrastructure components that can be assigned to an
administrator as a part of their Managed List. By using an administrative role to assign common access to
administrators, VitalQIP software allows adding new infrastructure to the role, with all administrators
associated with that role given access to the infrastructure. Administrative Roles can greatly simplify the
administration process for customers with medium to large numbers of VitalQIP administrators..
3.15 Secure Dynamic Update Support
A new capability that was introduced in release 6.0 allows VitalQIP software to send Secure Dynamic
Updates (GSS-TSIG Algorithm) to the newly enhanced secure Lucent DNS Server as well as Microsoft
Windows 2000/2003 DNS. With this protocol, both the DNS server and the resolver authenticate with
Kerberos network authentication protocol.
3.16 Single Login For VitalQIP Software
VitalQIP software supports a single database login, eliminating a database level login for each VitalQIP
software administrator. This makes database administration and upgrades simpler, as well as reduce the
security risk associated with people having access to the database through tools supplied from the
database vendors.
