BloxOne DDI provides the capability for importing Microsoft Active Directory (AD) DNS objects into the Cloud Services Portal by copying them into a DNS view, so you can manage and monitor all DNS objects from a single consolidated location. The connectivity requirements are available at Active Directory Connectivity Requirements.
BloxOne DDI also provides the capability for one-way synchronization from Microsoft Active Directory to Cloud Services Portal. For more information, see Active Directory-Integrated DNS Zones.
The BloxOne DDI Microsoft Active Directory integration feature has a limitation of 20000 DNS records in total. A single zone can contain 7000 records.
Integration with Active Directory enables you to do the following:
Synchronize public zones, private zones, and records from AD to BloxOne DDI. Zones synced from AD are read-only. All records supported by BloxOne DDI and AD can be imported into BloxOne DDI.
View AD-hosted zones and records through the Infoblox Cloud Services Portal.
Sync AD DNS data (as read-only) to BloxOne DDI.
