  • Subnets and ranges can have multiple DHCP servers associated with them through assignments.

  • When multiple servers are associated with a DHCP configuration and the settings have been saved, a DHCP configuration for that object can only show inheritance for one association at a time. In the Cloud Services Infoblox Portal, it is possible to view each association by selecting it from the Preview Inheritance drop-down menu.

  • Only the available, assigned hosts NIOS-X Servers are shown in the Preview Inheritance drop-down menu above the configuration area.

  • The table will display the host NIOS-X Server in the Preview Inheritance drop-down menu.

  • Changes made to inheritable settings apply to objects across all associated DHCP servers.

  • The Preview Inheritance drop-down menu is only visible when there is more than one server associated with a DHCP configuration.

In a multiple inheritance scenario where multiple External Primary or Internal Secondary hosts NIOS-X Servers possess their own unique profile, the Preview Inheritance drop-down menu will appear above its configuration area. The Preview Inheritance drop-down is only available in scenarios using multiple inheritance. The Preview inheritance drop-down will list the hosts NIOS-X Servers in the order each was added. By selecting a host NIOS-X Server from the drop-down list, the display will show from where the selected host NIOS-X Server is inheriting its profile.

Using the Preview Inheritance feature, it is possible to view inheritance for all members of a profile. In a scenario having three Internal Secondary hosts NIOS-X Servers (dns host NIOS-X Server 1 with an IP address 1.1.1.1, dns host NIOS-X Server 2 with an IP address 1.1.1.2, and dns host NIOS-X Server 6 with an IP address 1.1.1.6) and an External Primary host (somehostnameNIOS-X Server (someNIOS-X Server name.com with an IP address 1.2.3.4), selecting each of the Internal Secondary hosts NIOS-X Servers from the Preview Inheritance drop-down will display the selected Internal Secondary host’s NIOS-X Server’s inheritance profile. The associates for each host NIOS-X Server will be listed in the ACCEPT ZONE TRANSFER REQUESTS FROM under the Queries section of the Edit pane. In the case of an External Primary hostNIOS-X Server, it does not have an inheritance profile associated with it. In a multiple inheritance scenario, objects below the object being overridden become child objects of it, hence they become child objects of the parent object above them, obeying the rules of the hierarchical inheritance chain.
