VitalQIP Product Description
After receiving this information, the DHCP Service processes the message and replacement values for it,
and, if appropriate, sends a response back to the DHCP client using the options provided by LDRM.
LDRM can perform other functions beyond those described above. For example, LDRM can provide a
suggested subnet to the DHCP Service from which it selects an IP address to lease to a client. Also,
LDRM can execute authorization-related logic, and instruct the DHCP Service to drop a client packet and
not respond to it.
4.3.1 VitalQIP ENUM Manager
VitalQIP ENUM Manager provides a centralized management solution enabling administration of ENUM
domains (e.g., e164.arpa.) and the Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) records in VitalQIP
Lucent DNS server. VitalQIP

database and manage and update Lucent DNS servers. Lucent's DNS server resolves queries
for telephone number to URI/URL translation for On-Net calling and other ENUM capabilities.
Using an XML/SOAP interface, E.164 records can be loaded from a variety of sources into VitalQIP
The interface supports dynamic loading of new records from provisioning systems, such as Alcatel-
Lucent Technologies eSM in IMS networks, and bulk loading records from databases for initial
population of E.164 records. ENUM Manager stores this data in the VitalQIP
®
VitalQIP
ENUM Manager accesses this database, and uses this data to update Lucent DNS servers,
either through Dynamic DNS updates or zone file pushes.
Administering ENUM records is via a VitalQIP
administrator to manually create, update, delete, and search the NAPTR records. The administrator
simply populates a few fields and, once executed, the record is pushed to both the VitalQIP
the Lucent DNS server.
ENUM manager features the ability to split and merge ENUM domains in order to fit your network
topology.
The ability for an administrator to search the ENUM database is an essential component of effective
ENUM record management
4.4 Computing Platform Requirements and Options
4.4.1 Supported Platforms
VitalQIP is supported on a number on traditional server as well as Alcatel-Lucent Appliances. On a
traditional server, VitalQIP supports Sun Sun Solaris, Windows and Redhat Linux for the Enterprise
server. On the Alcatel-Lucent Appliance, RedHat Linux is supported.
4.4.2 High Availability Architecture
VitalQIP provides many-to-one DHCP server functionality. This means that a single secondary DHCP
server can be the backup for multiple primary DHCP servers. The transition between primary and
secondary servers is totally transparent to the clients requesting leases. The Alcatel-Lucent Appliance
solution also provides DNS primary and back-up confgurations for enhanced DNS High Availability
functions. Although VitalQIP is not certified on any high availability hardware architecture, deployments
of VitalQIP are running on UNIX high availability (cluster) platforms with high availability databases
(e.g., Oracle Transaction Application Failover).
