VitalQIP Product Description
VitalQIP administrators can indicate whether go to/search results should utilize FQDNs (Fully Qualified
Domain Names) or relative host names. This facilitates locating an object, which has a common host
name in many different domains. This enhancement to the Go To/Search feature also reports FQDN
results when required.
ACL Policy templates
VitalQIP supports the ability for an administrator to more easily enter access control lists for BIND 8
and BIND 9 DNS servers in
named.conf.
Also, administrators can assign ACLs to specific DNS servers.
The screen shot below on the left illustrates the creation of the ACL template, whereby networks, IP
hosts or addresses can be associated with a template, while the screen shot on the right illustrates
the assignment of a set of templates to a particular DNS server zone.
Login Service Authentication Callout
VitalQIP Administrator‟s logins can be authenticated with third party authentication services such as
Radius. VitalQIP supports the ability to authenticate administrators though a "callout" by providing
login ID, password, database, and product type to be authenticated and then only providing access to
the VitalQIP administrative GUI after successful authentication. The callout return provides the
ability to change the login name for added database access security and to customize the failure
result message, e.g., instructing the user to contact the help desk.
Redundant Schedule Service
Schedule Service redundancy has been implemented in VitalQIP to provide a high level of fault
tolerance. With VitalQIP, the Schedule service can be configured to execute on multiple servers.
When configuring multiple Schedule Services, an improvement in throughput of scheduled tasks can
be achieved. Also, with VitalQIP the services and the user interfaces can provide failover to
replicated databases without administrative intervention. This feature also allows for the ability to
prevent user and service access to the database during planned maintenance by setting a global
database state.
DHCP Option 82 support
VitalQIP supports and records in the database and displays Relay Agent Information option or "Option
82" information provided from Message Service from the DHCP server. "Option 82" information can
also be routed to the Audit Manager process and stored within the Audit Manager database.
VitalQIP also supports the configuration and push DHCP of new RFC configuration data, including the
new domain search (RFC 3397), classless static route (RFC 3442), and CableLabs client configuration
(RFC 3495) options, to the Lucent DHCP 5.4 server. VitalQIP 6.1 administrators can also configure and
push DHCP Long Options (RFC 3396).
In addition, VitalQIP supports the ability to change the DHCP server debug level, stop debug, or clear
the debug log from the VitalQIP GUI. This enhanced debug control is induced via the Network Services
-> DHCP Generation screen.
