TEST7 - Chandru - Ignore Three new dashboard widgets - DHCP Messages, DHCP Leases, and Total DNS Queries now available in the Cloud Service Portal.
BloxOne three new dashboard widgets in BloxOne DDI to show the DHCP messages (ACKs sent and INFORMs received), DHCP leases (Total Reclaimed, Total Declined, and Total Assigned), and Total DNS Queries on a single or a subset of deployed hosts. In addition to the existing widgets and these new ones, this should help with capacity planning and snapshotting the environments. For information, see /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11011894.
Inline DNS Query/Response Tester now available in Cloud Services Portal.
BloxOne DDI now allows you to run DNS query commands (dig command) on a host running DNS service from within the CSP. This will help with troubleshooting DNS-related issues. For information, see /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11010988XX.
Disable DHCP protocol in subnets, ranges, and fixed addresses.
BloxOne DDI now allows you to disable subnets, ranges, and fixed addresses for the DHCP protocol. This is particularly helpful during pre-deployment provisioning and troubleshooting activities. For information, see /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11011680, /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11011610, and /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11011604.

BloxOne DDI will display the health and status of the DHCP HA group in Cloud Services Portal. This allows you to monitor its status periodically to ensure that the service is functioning properly. For information, see /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11011639.

You can view metrics associated with your DHCP service in Cloud Services Portal. This will give more visibility and monitoring of the DHCP service. For information, see /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11011639.
DHCP Fingerprints are now split into System Defined and User Defined rules.
For better management and usability of the Fingerprints, you can view and manage system and user defined rules separately in the CSP. For information, see /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11010988.
BloxOne DDI now provides the ability to migrate and display IPAM/DHCP objects imported from Microsoft Active Directory.
BloxOne DDI is now able to directly import DHCP and IPAM data from Microsoft Active Directory, allowing for the offloading of DDI functions from AD servers. For information, see /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11010988XX.
Configure Abandoned-Reclaim Timer for abandoned leases in Cloud Services Portal.
You can now configure ‘Abandoned-Reclaim Time’ for abandoned leases in the CSP. After this period, the DHCP server will recover the abandoned IP (i.e. put it back into the available state) and the address will be available for assignment again. For information, see /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/189104640.
The Cloud Services Portal now displays all search results in a single view.
BloxOne DDI supports the ability to search across all pages using local search - aggregating the search results into a unified repaginated list. You no longer need to use global search if you are already in the right zone or subnet - allows for quick retrieval of information. For information, see /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11011680, /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11011610, and /wiki/spaces/ddiadminguidensdraft/pages/11011604.
