SFP/SFP+ Interface Support
All models in the Infoblox 2205 Series support optional interfaces to accept SFP transceiver modules, for 1GbE optical connectivity. summarizesTable 2
SFP and SFP+ support for appliance models in the Infoblox 2205 series.
Note: You cannot add SFP/SFP+ support after you have purchased an appliance model that does not have the SFP/SFP+ interfaces pre-installed.
Contact your Infoblox representatives if you are interested in purchasing appliances that support SFP/SFP+ interfaces.
To support connectivity to 10 Gigabit networking infrastructure, Infoblox also offers versions of the Trinzic TE-2215, TE-2225, Network Insight ND-2205
and Trinzic Reporting TR-2205 that provide 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces accepting SFP+ transceiver modules, for 10GbE RJ-45 copper or
optical connectivity.
The Trinzic TE-2215 and Trinzic TE-2225 appliances support four active 10GbE interfaces in the optional 1GbE SFP and 10GbE SFP+ configurations.
Other appliances in the Infoblox 2205 series, comprising the ND-2205 and TR-2205, support three active interfaces in the optional 1GbE SFP and 10GbE
SFP+ configurations. The port designated HA for these three models is inactive for these appliances. Order of ports from left to right is otherwise the same.
The Advanced Appliance PT-2205 supports accelerated 10GbE connectivity in a factory-only configuration, and supports HA.
In optional configurations for the Infoblox 2205 series (any appliance that does not use the internal Ethernet ports), the Infoblox 1GbE SFP or 10GbE SFP+
ports replace the functionality in the original system MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2 ports, thereby disabling the built-in MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2 ports.
10GbE support accepts Infoblox-provided SFP+ 10GbE Short Range and Long Range transceivers, Cisco SFP+ Direct Attach 10GSFP+Cu, or HP
HPJ9283B SFP+ Direct Attach 10GSFP+Cu transceivers.
You may mix media types in the set of ports (e.g., one copper SFP in the MGMT port and two or three fiber SFPs).
SFP and SFP+ transceivers also may be used in a mixed configuration in a 4-Port 10GbE system. One example involves installing 10GbE SR SFP+
transceivers in the LAN1 and LAN2 ports for the Trinzic TE-2215 or TE-2225 appliance, and installing 1GbE SFP copper transceivers in the MGMT and
HA interfaces.
Note: For ND-2205 and TR-2215 models configured with 1GbE SFP or 10GbE SFP+ interfaces, the HA port is reserved for future use and cannot be used
for network applications. Order of ports from left to right is otherwise the same.
