# Unified DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (DDI) with OpUtils **Enterprise DDI Solution** Unified DDI with OpUtils Centralize DNS, DHCP, and IPAM to simplify operations across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. **20+** years of expertise **30+** network tools **700k+** IPs managed --- ## Feature overview ### Integrated DDI management OpUtils unifies DNS, DHCP, and [IP address management](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/ip-address-manager.html?ddi) into a single console, enabling IT teams to centrally manage [Microsoft DNS](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/microsoft-dns-management.html?ddi) and [DHCP servers](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/microsoft-dhcp-management.html?ddi), monitor [AWS Route 53](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/aws-route53-dns-management.html?ddi) hosted zones, automate IP address management, and gain end-to-end visibility across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. Extend your DDI operations with integrated switch port management, rogue device detection, and network monitoring. --- ## Unified Platform ## Why choose OpUtils for DDI management? Managing DNS, DHCP, and IPAM in silos increases errors, slows troubleshooting, and makes networks harder to scale. OpUtils unifies these core services on a single operational platform, giving teams real-time visibility, traceability, and control so they can keep networks reliable and services running smoothly. ### Unified DDI operations Consolidate DNS, DHCP, and IP address management into one interface to eliminate tool sprawl, reduce manual effort, and streamline day-to-day DDI administration across your network. ### Better network correlation Correlate DNS records, DHCP leases, IP addresses, subnet utilization, switch ports, and device information to quickly trace network issues and make informed operational decisions. ### Beyond DDI Go beyond traditional DDI with Cisco Meraki subnet discovery, AWS Route 53 management, rogue DHCP discovery, MAC filtering, rogue device detection, switch port management and more from the same platform. ### Enterprise scale Support Microsoft DNS and DHCP, cloud DNS services, multi-vendor DHCP servers, Cisco ACI fabrics, and distributed enterprise networks with a solution built to adapt as your infrastructure grows. --- ## OpUtils' DDI capabilities ## Core features of OpUtils' DDI management suite The OpUtils' DDI management suite combines IP address management with DNS and DHCP operations. Included as part of the OpUtils platform, it also provides switch port management, rogue device detection, and built-in network utilities. This unified approach eliminates tool sprawl and provides consistent visibility across critical network services. ### Overview #### Product Overview What's included in the OpUtils DDI management suite: - DNS management - DHCP management - IPAM - Switch port management - Rogue detection & MAC filtering - 30+ network utilities --- ### DNS management Centralize DNS management across on-premises and cloud environments with complete visibility into DNS servers, hosted zones, resource records, and name resolution. Manage Microsoft DNS and AWS Route 53 from a unified interface while correlating DNS data with IP addresses and DHCP information for faster troubleshooting. #### Centralized administration Manage DNS records and hosted zones across Microsoft DNS and AWS Route 53 from a single console. #### Record management Create, edit, delete, and import A, AAAA, CNAME, PTR, and SRV records to simplify migrations, bulk updates, and routine DNS administration. #### Reverse DNS automation Automatically create PTR records when reverse lookups fail, with the option to generate missing IPv4 reverse lookup zones directly from IP address management. #### Comprehensive visibility Monitor forward and reverse lookup zones, DNS servers, resource records, and DNS health from a centralized dashboard. #### Hybrid DNS support Support Microsoft DNS for on-premises environments and AWS Route 53 for cloud-hosted DNS, enabling consistent administration across hybrid deployments. --- ### DHCP management Monitor, configure, and manage Microsoft DHCP servers and multi-vendor DHCP infrastructure from a centralized console. Gain complete visibility into scopes, leases, exclusions, reservations, utilization trends, and address availability before users experience connectivity issues. #### Unified view of scopes View all connected DHCP servers and their scopes from one interface, eliminating the need to switch between consoles. #### Scope and reservation Create and manage scopes, exclusions, and reservations directly from OpUtils to ensure predictable IP allocation. #### Policy configuration Define scope options and policies to control how IP addresses are assigned, helping standardize configuration across sites. #### Scope utilization tracking Monitor available, used, reserved, and blocked IP addresses across scopes and subnets to spot capacity risks. #### Multi-vendor monitoring Monitor Microsoft, Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Linux ISC DHCP, Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Infoblox DHCP servers together from one interface. #### Threshold-based alerts Configure utilization thresholds to receive notifications before scopes run out of available addresses. --- ### IP address management Track, organize, and govern IP address usage across your network. Gaining a complete view into your network's address space, OpUtils' DDI helps teams maintain accurate IP inventories, plan capacity effectively, and prevent conflicts. #### Track IPv4 and IPv6 Maintain a real-time inventory of IP address status across all subnets and VLANs to avoid blind spots. #### Visualize subnets View hierarchical subnet structures, address ranges, and allocation boundaries in a clear layout. #### Associate IPs & owners Record hostnames, MAC addresses, locations, and business context for each IP address to improve accountability. #### Monitor utilization Track how much address space is consumed within each subnet and scope to identify underutilized networks. #### Detect duplicate IPs Identify multiple devices using the same IP address before conflicts disrupt connectivity and access. #### Request/Approval flow Standardize IP allocation with request, approval, and assignment workflows for controlled distribution. --- ## Other notable features offered by OpUtils DDI suite Beyond DNS, DHCP, and IP address management, OpUtils' DDI also includes additional network visibility, security, and operational capabilities as part of the same platform - no separate add-ons or integrations required. ![Notable Features](https://cdn.manageengine.com/sites/meweb/images/oputils/notable-sec-img.webp) ### 1. Switch port management Gain [visibility into switch ports](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/switch-port-mapper.html?opu-ddi), connected devices, and operational status across your network. Identify unused, overloaded, or misconfigured ports to improve capacity planning and access control. ### 2. Rogue detection and MAC filtering Detect [unauthorized devices](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/rogue-detection-tool.html?opu-ddi), suspicious MAC activity and [discover rogue DHCP servers](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/rogue-dhcp-discovery.html?ddi) in real time. Control network access using [MAC-based policies](https://www.manageengine.com/products/oputils/mac-address-filtering.html?opu-ddi) to prevent rogue endpoints from consuming IPs or compromising security. ### 3.
