IP address management of multiple DHCP and DNS servers

摘要

An enterprise network may be managed. A graphical user interface (GUI) that shows IP address allocations for the network and that allows a user to configure DHCP scopes and DNS zones may be provided. A new host reservation request may be received from a user. The request may be translated into a first protocol and provided to a DHCP control server for processing. Based on the processing, configurations of multiple DHCP servers may be updated, to include the new host reservation, and provided to a configuration storage system for (at least temporary) storage and access by the multiple DHCP servers. The request may be translated into a second protocol and provided to a DNS management server for processing. Based on the processing, a configuration for a DNS server may be updated, to include the new host reservation, and stored in a DNS database.

主权项

1. A method for managing an enterprise network provision comprising:
enabling provision of a graphical user interface that shows IP address allocations for the network and that allows a user to configure DHCP scopes and DNS zones; receiving a new host reservation request based on a user interaction with the graphical user interface; translating the request into a first protocol to generate a first translated request for communicating with a DHCP control server; providing the first translated request to the DHCP control server according to the first protocol; processing the first translated request at the DHCP control server; based on the processing, updating configurations of multiple DHCP servers to include the new host reservation; providing the updated configurations from the DHCP control server to a configuration storage system; storing the updated configurations of the multiple DHCP servers in the configuration storage system; enabling the multiple DHCP servers to access the updated configurations from the configuration storage system; translating the request into a second protocol to generate a second translated request for communicating with a DNS management server that is different from the DHCP control server; providing the second translated request to the DNS management server according to the second protocol; processing the second translated request at the DNS management server; updating the configuration for a DNS server managed by the DNS management server to include the new host reservation in accordance with the processed second translated request; storing the updated DNS server configuration within a DNS database; and indicating to the user, via the graphical user interface, that the DHCP servers and DNS server configuration were successfully updated.
