To further enhance your DNS, DHCP, and IPAM configuration, Infoblox provides the following optional features you can configure for Universal DDI based on your business requirements.

Configuring Optional DNS and DHCP Settings

  • Configure Access Control Lists. Grant legitimate service instances access to specific tasks and operations using an access control list (ACL). Go to Manage > DNS > Access Control Lists. For more information, see Configuring Access Control Lists.

  • Configure Option Spaces. Go to Manage > IPAM/DHCP > Option Spaces. Click Create Option Space. For more information, see Configuring Option Spaces.

  • Configure Option Groups. Option groups are a collection of option spaces or other option groups. Go to Manage > IPAM/DHCP > Option Group. Click Create Option Group. For more information, see Configuring Option Groups.

  • Configure IPv4 Filters. Option filters are used to classify DHCP clients and decide which DHCP options each group of clients can receive regardless of the subnet they belong to. Go to Manage > IPAM/DHCP > IPv4 Filters. Click Create and select the required option. For more information, see Configuring Filters.

  • Configure DHCPv4 Fingerprints. Universal DDI utilizes DHCP fingerprint detection to identify IPv4 mobile devices such as laptop computers, tablets, and smartphones on your network. Go to Manage > IPAM/DHCP > DHCP Fingerprints. Click Create DHCP Fingerprint and select the required option. For more information, see Configuring DHCPv4 Fingerprints.

  • Configure service instances. Go to Configure > Servers. Click Create Server. For more information, see Creating NIOS-X Servers.

  • Configure High Availability for DHCP. An HA (High Availability) group is a collection of two service instances, which are located in the same IP space, and can serve the same set of leases for an HA group. Go to Manage > IPAM/DHCP > HA Groups. Click Create HA Group. For more information, see Configuring HA Groups.
