BloxOne DDI provides the capability for importing Microsoft Active Directory (AD) DNS and IPAM/DHCP objects into the Cloud Services Portal by copying them into a DNS view, so you can manage and monitor all 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.
View and manage DHCP leases and view IPAM data in Cloud Services Portal.
The following diagram illustrates how to leverage the Active Directory integration feature. To integrate AD with BloxOne DDI, complete the following steps:
