Dynamic Dns; Dhcp - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - Alcatel-Lucent VitalQIP 7.2 Product Description

VitalQIP Product Description
VitalQIP software performs a complete generation of all named.conf and zone data files. Alcatel-Lucent
Technologies will implement an incremental primary update in which only changes within the database
will be updated to zone files. Incremental Zone Transfers (IXFRs) are supported by Alcatel-Lucent as an
extension to BIND 8.x.
Once the configuration files and zone data files are generated there is no further communication required
to the Enterprise database server. The DNS servers operate independently of the database and perform
based on the DNS standards.
In the event a remote DNS server operates on an operating system not currently supported, VitalQIP
software provides a mechanism in which DNS configuration files can be generated locally. Using the
software's DNS user-exit, the files can then be transferred to the remote server (via ftp, rcp, or srcp).

3.32 Dynamic DNS

VitalQIP software provides two (2) methods for dynamic DNS updates:
•
Static addresses
•
Dynamic addresses via DHCP
If enabled, all static address assignments, performed through one of the user interfaces, can be
dynamically updated to primary and secondary DNS servers. Alcatel-Lucent provides the additional
functionality to secondary DNS servers so corporations could point a client's primary resolver to the
dynamically updated secondary DNS server instead of the primary DNS server and immediately resolve
static assignments without zone transfers. Alcatel-Lucent also provides standards based (RFC 2136)
dynamic updates to cache. It supports dynamic updates to 4.9.7 and 8.x primary, secondary, master and
slave servers.
Dynamic DNS can also be performed from DHCP servers as addresses are leased, released, or renewed.
Depending on corporate procedures and processes, dynamic updates can be enabled, or disabled, from all
remote services. Control of dynamic updates can then be passed to the enterprise server where intelligent
processing of data can occur. An example of this processing would be determining if a host name is
unique and making appropriate changes as needed to enforce unique name requirements.

3.33 DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Alcatel-Lucent's DHCP server is a high-performance, RFC-compliant (2131/2132) and scalable DHCP
solution to provide large corporations with dynamic allocation of addresses.
DHCP is supported on Sun, Windows and Linux and provides the following types of dynamic
allocations:
•
Dynamic DHCP – lease based
•
Manual DHCP – Fixed client-identifier to IP
•
Automatic DHCP – no Client identifier (CID) required
•
Manual BOOTP – CID to IP
•
Automatic BOOTP – No CID required
