This section describes how to set the system mode when provisioning DNS/DHCP Servers for control by Micetro software. For more information on the Micetro DNS/DHCP Server implementation, refer to Micetro DNS/DHCP Servers (MDDS).
Note: DNS/DHCP Servers in
Micetro mode do not currently support all features and services
configurable on standard BlueCat DNS/DHCP Servers (Integrity
mode). For a list of supported services that can be configured
when provisioning Micetro DNS/DHCP Servers, refer to Feature support and limitations.
Note: Set the system mode only if configuring a DNS/DHCP Server appliance for Micetro control.
The default system mode if not specified is
integrity, for control of
DNS/DHCP Servers with Address Manager.Note: DNS/DHCP
Server appliances cannot be managed simultaenously by both
Micetro and Address Manager; DNS/DHCP Servers in Micetro-mode
can only be managed by Micetro. Similarly, DNS/DHCP Servers in
Integrity-mode can only be managed by Address
Manager.
Warning: Allow
Ping is disabled by default on new BlueCat
DNS/DHCP Servers (Integrity-mode). Setting a DNS/DHCP Server to
Micetro-mode will automatically enable Allow
Ping on the DNS/DHCP Server. If a DNS/DHCP
Server in Micetro-mode is returned to Integrity-mode,
Allow Ping will remain enabled on the
DNS/DHCP Server, and must be disabled manually through the
firewall service configuration to block pings.
