EfficientIP DDI

EfficientIP DDI

About

DDI is a collective reference term that covers domain name system (DNS), dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), and IP address management (IPAM). DDI in networking is short for DNS-DHCP-IPAM. DNS assures the association of hostnames and IP addresses. It enables access routing to almost all applications and services to keep HTTP web traffic and network traffic flowing. DHCP provides dynamic IP address assignment for nodes logging into the network, together with configuration capability automatically inherited from the address plan tree. IPAM supports these critical technologies by enabling efficient management of IP addresses across the network. Together they make up DDI.
