The Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection solution offers the following licenses: Threat Protection, Threat Protection (Software add-on), and Threat Protection Update. The following are descriptions for each of these licenses:

  • Threat Protection: Install this license on the physical or hardware-based threat protection appliances. With valid licenses installed, Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
    You can configure two appliances of the same model to form an HA pair for high availability configuration. For more information about how to configure an HA pair for Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection and its limitations, see About HA Pairs. You can configure hardware-based appliances in either IPv4, IPv6, or dual mode (IPv4 and IPv6) network environment.

Note

Note

  • Reverting to an earlier NIOS release that does not support HA configuration for these appliances could cause a service outage.

  • The Advanced DNS Protection licenses are tied to the software model and not to the hardware appliance.  

  • ThreatProtectionThreat Protection (SoftwareaddSoftware add-on): The Software ADP license is a subscription license. Grid Manager displays a warning message when the license expires. You must renew the license to use the Software ADP service. To renew the license, contact your Infoblox representative or Infoblox Technical Support. Before you obtain your permanent license, you can install a temporary license for Threat Protection (Software add-on) using the set temp_license CLI command. For more information, refer to the InfobloxCLIGuideInfoblox CLI Guide. Infoblox supports ThreatProtectionThreat Protection (SoftwareaddSoftware add-on) and ThreatProtectionUpdate Threat Protection Update licenses for elastic scaling. For more information, see About Elastic Scaling.

Note

Note

You cannot install Multi-Grid Management and Microsoft Management licenses if you install ThreatProtectionThreat Protection or ThreatProtectionThreat Protection (SoftwareaddSoftware add-on) licenses on the NIOS appliance.

...

With valid licenses installed, the threat protection appliance can be used as a DNS caching or DNS authoritative server. You can join the appliance to the Grid and treat it as a Grid member. Note that if you install a Threat Protection license on a member, you can enable threat protection only on this member. Contact your Infoblox representative to obtain the Threat Protection, Threat Protection Update and Threat Protection (Software add-on) licenses. For information about licenses, see Managing Licenses.
The following table lists all the supported threat protection appliance models and licenses that you can install on them to activate threat protection:
