- DHCP
With an extremely fast DHCP server, Cisco Prime Network Registrar has the ability to assign well over 20,000 DHCP leases per second. The solution is also the industry's most scalable DHCP server - supporting more than 130 million devices across multiple servers in a single customer deployment. - DNS
The recursive, extremely fast, Cisco Prime Network Registrar DNS caching server offers significant acceleration of DNS query throughput. - Integrated load balancing of DHCP Lease Renewals
Smoothing server load by redistributing lease renewals, allowing better utilization across deployed clusters. - Reliable
Cisco Prime Network Registrar helps address unique challenges in large-scale deployments of DHCP and DNS by offering multiple levels of redundancy with DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 simple failover and support for High-Availability DNS (HA-DNS). The patented discriminating rate limiter provides unsurpassed DHCP avalanche prevention to reduce downtime after network outages. - Consolidated IPv4 and IPv6 address management
Cisco Prime Network Registrar includes integrated, full lifecycle management for IPv4 and IPv6 and allows dual-stack addressing deployments on a single server. The full-featured DHCPv6 server provides support for address assignment, both stateless and stateful configuration, prefix delegation, and prefix stability. DNS64 functionality allows access to the IPv4 Internet and servers for hosts that have only an IPv6 address. By helping to automate the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, Cisco Prime Network Registrar mitigates IP address scarcity, facilitates deployment of new revenue-generating services, and lowers IP address management overhead. - Extensible
Powerful, industry-leading extension support for both IPv4 and IPv6 allows network operators to alter and customize DHCP server operations for IPv4 and IPv6, improving network security, network performance, and third-party application integration. Extensions easily create new solutions such as billing, security, and lawful interception. - Health checks
Health checking for DHCP and for DNS to allow early detection and bypass of failed target systems. For DHCP, PNR can be configured to monitor relay agents for reliable operations in a failover configuration. For DNS, PNR can be configured to check that the destination server is a viable choice for the DNS assignment. - Secure
DNSSEC, DNS firewall, TSIG, Protection against DNS Poisoning Attacks and DNS over TLS to help protect against DNS vulnerabilities. Smart Cache for DNS Caching server protects against outages when an external DNS has been compromised.
Cisco Prime Network Registrar provides integrated, scalable, reliable DNS, DHCP, and IPAM services for both IPv4 and IPv6.
