NIOS ADP
Bear in mind that “Advanced DNS Protection” as a licence also protects the protcols for:
- DNS
- DHCP
- NTP
- ICMP
- BGP
- OSPF
Also remember that ADP can be used for internal facing DNS. Rare but some massive organisations do use it like that.
show adp monitor-mode
set adp-monitor-mode off
When running ADP on the Grid, to download the latest updates, the Grid Master needs to resolve and access https://ts.infoblox.com on tcp-443. You may need to configure the proxy settings in the Grid and you may need to disable TLS inspection on the proxy.
Enable ADP
Remember, installing ADP licence (“Threat Protection (Software add-on) license”) will reboot the member.
Remember, enabling the ADP service (“Threat Protection”) on a member will cause the member to reboot.
Remember, you cannot enable ADP on a GM or GMC
Remember, the DNS member running ADP must be using the MGMT interface.
Test ADP
Use a CHAOS query to ask for the running version of Bind. That will trigger a reconnaissance rule
