DHCP

Infoblox Eliminates DHCP Downtime

New classes of networking devices—such as VoIP phones, RFID readers, and cameras—depend on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service for connectivity. It’s the service that allows these devices to join and communicate on an IP network.

It’s nearly impossible to deliver non-stop DHCP service with software running on general-purpose servers. DHCP servers require manual administration, are prone to configurations errors, and require downtime for routine maintenance. Simply put: DHCP servers can go down. And when they do, your business stops.
