Cisco Network Registrar

The Cisco CNS Network Registrar provides IP address-management provisioning with highly scalable and reliable Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services to help enable efficient and effective provisioning of network devices and services. Its rich and extensible feature sets easily distinguish Cisco CNS Network Registrar from DHCP and DNS servers packaged with a commercial operating system. Cisco CNS Network Registrar can help reduce operational costs with the central-management capability, which simplifies administrative tasks and reduces tedious and error-prone operations associated with network and device configuration.

The Cisco CNS Network Registrar implements a complete DNS, DHCP, and TFTP server, and provides both graphically based and scriptable command-line interface (CLI) administrative functions to help customers configure, automate, and simplify IP networking services. It supports business-critical tasks such as client configuration and provisioning for numerous devices and service models for both service provider and enterprise customers. Its ability to interoperate with Microsoft-based client devices and Active Directory allows customers to use the Cisco CNS Network Registrar in a complementary role with the basic Microsoft DHCP and DNS servers.

The Cisco CNS Network Registrar automates common tasks such as IP address assignment and management, DHCP and client policy definition and distribution, and day-to-day server maintenance to simplify IP network configuration and administration. Features such as the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory interface facilitate integration of DNS and DHCP services with other network-management and client- or service-provisioning applications. Performance-optimized functions provide fast setup and task execution, and an availability-tuned architecture helps to ensure reliable and consistent client-services delivery.
