Cisco NS1 DDI Core Container - License - 1 Node

The Cisco NS1 DDI Core Container is a node-based licensing option designed to streamline and consolidate DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI) in a scalable, containerized environment. With a focus on reliability, automation, and ease of deployment, this license covers a single node while offering a path toward broader, volume-based licensing as your network grows. Ideal for smaller installations, labs, or phased rollouts, the 1 Node license provides a cost-effective entry point into a robust DDI core container that integrates seamlessly with the Cisco NS1 ecosystem.

• License Type: Node-based license for Cisco NS1 DDI Core Container, licensed per single node.
• Volume Licensing: Price Level (1-19) license to support deployment across multiple systems with a single purchase, delivering cost efficiency for expanding environments.
• Scalable Deployment: Designed to run across multiple computers, enabling modular scaling as your network grows without reworking core licensing structure.
• DDI Core Container: Provides a unified containerized solution for DNS, DHCP, and IP address management, enabling centralized configuration, automation, and orchestration of network services.
• Cost-Effective and Flexible: An affordable licensing option that simplifies procurement and license management while preserving performance, reliability, and ease of maintenance across environments.

how to install Cisco NS1 DDI Core Container

• Prepare your environment: Review the official Cisco NS1 DDI Core Container installation guide, and ensure your server or virtual environment meets the general prerequisites for containerized deployments. Make sure you have a supported container runtime and sufficient resources for DNS, DHCP, and IPAM workloads.
• Acquire and activate the license: Obtain the 1 Node license under your Price Level (1-19) agreement and activate it through the Cisco NS1 licensing channel or portal as directed by your procurement team. Ensure the license is tied to the correct node or cluster identity per deployment plan.
• Provision the container host: Set up the host machine or cluster environment. Install the chosen container runtime (for example, Docker or Kubernetes-based tooling) and prepare storage, networking, and security settings to support DDI services in a containerized form.
• Deploy the DDI Core Container: Deploy the DDI Core Container image to your environment, following the official deployment procedure. Configure networking, DNS, DHCP, and IPAM components in alignment with your network design and security policies.
• Validate and optimize: After deployment, verify service health, licensing status, and integration with other network services. Run functional tests for DNS resolution, DHCP provisioning, and IP address management workflows, and adjust resource allocations as needed to meet performance targets.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Cisco NS1 DDI Core Container - License - 1 Node include?

This license provides a single-node, containerized DDI core solution under a volume licensing model. It is intended for environments that require DNS, DHCP, and IP address management within a consolidated container, with the option to expand to additional nodes under the Volume Licensing Price Level (1-19). The 1 Node license serves as a cost-effective entry point for smaller deployments or initial rollout phases and can be extended to multi-node configurations through additional licenses as capacity needs grow.

How many nodes are covered by this license?

The license covers 1 Node. If your deployment needs to scale to additional nodes, you will need to procure and apply additional licenses corresponding to the required node count under the same Price Level framework.

Can this license be used across multiple machines?

Yes. The Price Level (1-19) licensing model is designed to support deployment across multiple computers, enabling a scalable, distributed DDI core container architecture while centralizing license management for efficiency and cost control. For larger or more complex environments, additional licenses are typically applied to expand coverage to more nodes.
