Installing the Network Automation NT-4000
Note: The Network Automation NT-4000 system must be installed in a four-post seismic rack.
The Network Automation NT-4000 appliance ships with mounting rails, side rails, and an accessory kit that contains 
mounting hardware. To mount the appliance to a seismic rack, you also need the following:
•M5 rack screws that fit the seismic rack
•Round-hole M5 cage nuts for use with the seismic rack
•A screwdriver
Rack Mounting Safety Requirements
The following space and airflow requirements are required for Network Automation NT-4000 system operation:
•Minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack
•Minimum clearance of 76.2cm (30 in) in the rear of the rack
•Minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of
racks
The Network Automation NT-4000 draws air in through the front of the chassis and expels air through the rear.
Adequate ventilation is required to allow ambient room air to enter the chassis and to be expelled from the rear of
the chassis.
To mount the appliance to a seismic rack, follow the instructions bundled with the rack-mounting kit in the NT-4000
Rev. 2 shipping box.
1. Unscrew the snap-in screws from the mounting rails and discard.
2. Install the round-hole M5 cage nuts in the appropriate rack hole positions where you want to install the
appliance. Ensure that you install two cage nuts on the front and two on the back of each rail, as shown in
Figure 5. Note that the square-hole cage nuts that ship with the accessory kit do not fit in the seismic rack.

Powering On the Appliance
The Network Automation NT-4000 ships with two (2) hot-swappable redundant AC power supply modules. Infoblox
recommends using the power cables shipped with the appliance to connect each power supply to separate power
circuits. In the event of a power failure on one circuit, the appliance can then operate on the other.
To power the appliance:
•For each power supply, connect a power cable between the power connector on the back of the appliance and
a properly grounded and rated power circuit that meets the provisions of the current edition of the National
Electrical Code, or other wiring rules that apply to your location. Make sure that the outlet is near the
appliance and is easily accessible.
Cabling the Appliance to a Network
Use one or more Category 5/6 Ethernet cables to connect the Network Automation NT-4000 appliance to the
network.
The Network Automation NT-4000 appliance does not need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse for normal operation. It
only needs an Ethernet connection. Follow these steps to connect the appliance to your network:
1. Configure the appliance to use one port (same port for both system administration and network analysis):
Using a straight-through RJ45 Ethernet cable, connect from the LAN1 Ethernet connector on the rear of the
appliance to an available Ethernet connection on the network (as labeled in Figure 4).
or
Configure the appliance to use two ports (the MGMT port for system administration and the SCAN port for
network analysis):
Using straight-through RJ45 Ethernet cables:
a. Connect from the MGMT Ethernet connector on the appliance rear panel (as labeled in Figure 4) to the
network supporting your management systems.
Pull retention levers down to install retainer screws
(one each side)

b. Connect from the LAN1 Ethernet connector on the appliance front panel to an available Ethernet
connection on the network that Network Automation will be analyzing.
c. Optionally, connect from the LAN2 Ethernet connector on the appliance front panel to an available
Ethernet connection on the network that Network Automation will be analyzing.
Note: The Network Automation NT-4000 appliance supports 10/100/1000Mbps network connections.
2. After connecting the network cables, plug the appliance into an AC power source.
3. Verify that the green Link LED on the RJ45 port is lit, indicating a good connection to your network. If possible,
verify that the link indicator is lit on the network hub or switch port to which the appliance is connected.
4. Figure 7 illustrates a typical single-port connection.
Figure 7 Cabling a Single Network Automation NT-4000 Appliance to a Network
Note: By default, the Infoblox appliance automatically negotiates the optimal connection speed and transmission
type (full or half duplex) on the physical links between its LAN1, LAN2 and MGMT ports and the Ethernet ports on
neighboring devices.
5. Use the Infoblox GUI to access the Infoblox appliance from a management system. Through the Infoblox GUI,
you can set up and administer the appliance. For management system requirements and access instructions,
see Initial Network Automation Appliance Configuration on page 16.
When cabling a single Infoblox appliance to the network, connect an Ethernet cable
from the MGMT port on the appliance to a switch or router.

Initial Network Automation Appliance
Configuration
The management system is the computer from which you configure and monitor the Infoblox Network Automation
appliance. You can access the appliance from the management system remotely across an Ethernet network or
directly through a serial cable.
Note: The computer used as the management system must support a minimum screen resolution of 1280x800.
After completing the steps in Cabling the Appliance to a Network on page 14, you can make an HTTPS connection to
the appliance and access the Infoblox Network Automation GUI using one of the supported Internet Web browsers
listed in the Release Notes for the software release installed in your system.
For command-line operation, you can make a terminal console connection through an SSHv2 client. You can also
access the CLI by connecting a serial cable directly from the console port of a management system to the console
port on the appliance, and then using a terminal emulation program.
Note: If you wish to configure the Network Automation appliance for IPv6 connectivity, see the later section,
Configuring a Network Automation Appliance for IPv4 and IPv6.
Network Automation equally supports IPv4 and IPv6 networks, and reports and manages all devices running IPv4
and/or IPv6 protocols.
Configuring the Management System
The Network Automation appliance listens on the private IP address 169.254.1.1/24, which can be used at any time
to configure the system. The easiest way to access the appliance on that address is to temporarily configure your
workstation to use an address on the same subnet, such as 169.254.1.5/24 (or any other address on the same
subnet not occupied by another device).
Depending on the operating system, the procedure to configure your workstation can be slightly different. The
following procedure is for systems running Windows 7:

Initial Network Automation Appliance Configuration
17 Infoblox Installation Guide
1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel dialog box, click Network and Sharing Center.
3. In the Network Connections dialog box, click Change Adapter Settings.
4. Right-click the icon for the Ethernet interface you wish to change (Local Area Connection, for example), and
choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
5. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) in the Network
Components list, and then click Properties.
6. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, select Use the following IP address, and then fill in the
IP address and Subnet mask fields using the IP address 169.254.1.5 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
7. Click OK in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties and Local Area Connection Properties dialog boxes.
(Depending on your operating system, you might need to reboot your computer.)
Note: This address change is necessary only for the initial setup of Network Automation. Once the setup is
complete, return your workstation to its prior configuration.
8. Click Close in the Local Area Connections Status dialog box.
9. Temporarily disconnect the Network Automation appliance from the network by unplugging the Ethernet cable
from the MGMT port of the appliance.
10. Obtain an Ethernet cross-over cable and connect your computer to the MGMT port using the cross-over cable.
11. Use an SSH client to access Network Automation at the IP address 169.254.1.1.
12. Log in with user name admin and password admin.
13. Continue the configuration by following the instructions described in Configuring a Network Automation
Appliance for IPv4 and IPv6 on page 18.
Notes on Windows IPv6 Configuration
Of course, users can manage Network Automation on an IPv6 network. The Network Automation Management port
has its own factory default link-local IPv6 address that is unique on its connected subnet. The default IPv6 address
derives from the Ethernet MAC address of the Management interface (MGMT).
You must use a Windows 7 system to configure Network Automation to run on an IPv6 network, because Windows
7 natively supports IPv6.
To configure a new Infoblox Network Automation appliance to be managed through IPv6, do the following:
1. Reboot Windows 7, ensure that it is enabled for IPv6 networking, and connect it to the management (MGMT)
port of the Network Automation appliance, using a standard Ethernet cable.
2. On the Windows 7 system, open a DOS command line window and run ipconfig.
Check the listing in the Local Area Connection section of the ipconfig listing, and make a note of the interface
number associated with the PC’s IPv6 Link Local address. The IPv6 value will have an fe80: prefix and end
with a %* designator, such as fe80:505:ac3b:49b7:dc38%15. The value 15 in this example is the interface
number, which will vary with each client.
3. In a Windows command line, run the following command:

For the Network Automation NT-4000 Appliance 18
netsh interface ipv6 show neighbor
4. Find the Interface *: Local Area Connection section (the * corresponds to the interface number for your PC
system’s IPv6 address). No entry should be present in this category for any address starting with the fe80:
prefix.
5. In the Windows PC’s command line, run a multicast IPv6 ping to all nodes on the subnet where the
Management port is running. This executes a multicast IPv6 ping to the Network Automation management port
connected to the PC.
In the Windows command prompt, run the following command:
ping -6 -n 5 ff02::1
Allow the command to complete whether or not responses occur.
6. In the Windows PC’s command line, run the following command a second time:
netsh interface ipv6 show neighbor
The MGMT port IPv6 link-local address should now appear in the neighbor table under the Interface xx: Local
Area Connection section, similar to the following:
fe80::230:48ff:febc:97da 00-30-48-bc-97-da Reachable
This is the link-local address of the Network Automation appliance management port (MGMT).
7. Open an SSH client session to the Network Automation CLI at the IPv6 address shown in Step 6 along with the
interface number. Log in with the factory default username/password admin/admin.
Next, you assign a globally routable static IPv6 address on the management port.
8. Proceed with appliance configuration as described in Configuring a Network Automation Appliance for IPv4 and
IPv6.
Configuring a Network Automation Appliance for IPv4 and IPv6
If Network Automation uses DHCP, make a note of the IP address assigned to Network Automation, and then use the
Setup Wizard as described in Configuring Network Automation Using the Setup Wizard in the Network Automation
Administrator’s Guide.
Note: The Network Automation appliance supports dual-stack connectivity for reachability on both IPv4 and IPv6
networks. You can use either or both.
Otherwise, configure IP addresses as follows:
1. At the CLI (command line interface) command prompt, enter configure server, and specify the following:
2. Enter the new Database Name and press Enter.
Database Name is a descriptive name for this deployment. It is used in reports
titles, headers, etc.
Recommended: Begin name with uppercase letter.
Database Name []: Corp100_west
3. For the first-time installation, you can choose to generate a new HTTPS certificate.
