Reliable DHCP Management

Whether you are using ISC DHCP/KEA or Windows, deploying and managing a DHCP service comes with its own set of headaches:

  • Initial DHCP setup requires in-depth configuration expertise and detailed knowledge
  • Updating DHCP configurations is time-consuming & error prone
  • The impact of misconfiguration is high – a typo could bring down your network
  • Poor visibility of current IP address usage and historic lease data
  • Difficulties implementing redundancy and maintaining an ‘always on’ DHCP service – particularly during server maintenance and upgrades
  • Accessing DHCP servers across multiple remote sites typically requires VPN tunnels, open firewall ports, or physical access — there’s no straightforward path to central management

Whether you’re an enterprise with large IP phone deployments or BYOD schemes to manage or an ISP that needs to dynamically assign addresses to customer routers, a dedicated DHCP appliance can help. It will simplify day-to-day administration, improve visibility & control of IP usage and provide a high level of resilience and availability.

Just need DHCP? We’ve perfected the dedicated DHCP server
With increasing need for stand-alone, on-prem DHCP as organisations move infrastructure to cloud services, we’ve further enhanced performance and introduced new central management and failover functionality.

See how we’ve perfected DHCP

 

DHCP-Screenshot-subnetsEasier to deploy and use

  • Automation tools reduce initial and ongoing configuration overhead – it takes hours to manually setup dynamic DNS and 2 minutes with a DDI tool
  • A good user interface directs users to perform data editing in clear, logical steps making administration intuitive
  • Managing a fleet of DHCP servers from a single console removes the need to connect to each unit separately – changes, updates and routine checks can all be handled centrally, without site-by-site logins

 

DHCP-Screenshots-lease-statisticsClear, accurate visibility of your IP address allocation enabling you to implement a plan that caters for devices leaving and joining the network effectively

  • DDI solutions like DNSBOX give you aggregated visibility of distributed DHCP servers from a centralised interface
  • From a central console you can drill into any individual remote unit to check lease activity, modify subnet configuration or investigate issues – without needing a direct connection to the site

 

 

DHCP-Screenshot-failoverEnsuring maximum availability of this critical network service

  • Simplified configuration of synchronised failover servers
  • Validation tools can eliminate configuration errors
  • Secure remote access to individual servers uses encrypted tunnelling – units are never exposed directly to the internet, and no inbound ports need to be opened on the remote network
  • Some appliance solutions like DNSBOX feature minimal downtime upgrade mechanisms

Because DNSBOX is versatile and scalable, our customers around the world come in all shapes and sizes. Some want to simplify, control and protect their DDI services, others just want to solve a specific DNS or DHCP headache.
