DNS/DHCP REFRESH
June, 2013
Executive Summary
•
•
•
The Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Protocol (DHCP) are the
lifeblood of the network. Without reliable DNS and DHCP, critical applications
including e-mail, web-services and VoIP cannot function. DNS/DHCP services
allow servers to communicate thru domain names and hands out dynamic IP
addresses to workstations and other devices connecting to the network
Currently our DNS/DHCP services are end of software/hardware support and
require replacement for this function to remain supportable. The existing
servers have 97 level four and five vulnerabilities and can’t be fixed because of
the hardware that they are hosted on are end of support. The
software/hardware are no longer upgradable.
The scope covers the DNS/DHCP servers at the below locations:
– Chandler DNS/DHCP Servers
– El Segundo DNS/DHCP Servers
– London DNS/DHCP Servers
It is possible that an extended complete outage could occur if we have a
major failure and cannot receive support.

Proposed Solution
• Purchase Infoblox a global solution already being
used by SCA
• Provide a solution that is IPV6/IPV4 complaint.
• Provide a security compliance and ease of
management solution.
• Ensure that DNS/DHCP services are always available.
• Work with the business and change control to
replace older services.
• To maintain a fully operational and supported DNS &
DHCP infrastructure
