Network administrators seeking a solution to manage their DHCP and DNS services
About Cisco Prime Network Registrar
Cisco Prime Network Registrar is a scalable, high-performance, extensible solution that provides services for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name System (DNS) acting as an authoritative DNS, and caching DNS. It offers significant acceleration of DNS query throughput by assigning over 20,000 DHCP leases per second and supporting over 130 million devices across multiple servers in a single customer deployment. The system manages server load by redistributing DHCP lease renewals for better utilization across clusters, using a variety of deployment options such as image download, Docker container, VM OVA, QCOW2, or pre-loaded appliance. To ensure reliability, it employs multiple levels of redundancy with DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 safe failover and supports high-availability DNS (HA-DNS). Custom dashboards report the status and trends of DHCP and DNS operations. The solution is extensible, featuring a powerful extensions interface and REST APIs.
