On/Off Switch A power switch to turn the power supply of the appliance on and off. The switch is hidden. Usea small blunt object,
such as a paper clip, to gently push the switch.
Power LED An LED that glows green when there is power to the appliance. When it is dark, the appliance is not receiving power,
even if the power cable is plugged in. When it glows red, there is an error. Ensure that you power on the appliance
through the On/Off switch using a small blunt object, such as a paper clip.
USB Port Reserved for future use.
IPMI Port Dedicated Ethernet port used for LOM (Lights Out Management) with specific releases of NIOS.The IPMI/LOM Port
supports 10/100/1000 Mbps operations. Ensure that the IPMI port is properly connected to the network before you
configure LOM through the Grid Manager for remote management. The IPMI port auto-negotiates up to Fast Ethernet
100BASE-TX speeds; ensure that the switch port to which the IPMI port connects will auto-negotiate to 100Mbps
operation.Follow best practices for IPMI usage in the network by not allowing the IPMI port to connect to the
general-use data center network or to 1 Gbps/10 Gbps switch interfaces.
MGMT Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port for appliance management, or for appliance services on the network. You
enable the MGMT port and define its use through the Grid Manager after the initial setup.
LAN1 Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that connects the appliance to the network. You use the LAN1 port for
initial appliance setup. The LAN1 port carries all traffic if you do not enable the MGMT and LAN2 ports. The passive
node in an HA pair (supported in the Trinzic2210 and 2220 appliances) uses this port to synchronize the database
with the active node.
Console Port A male DB-9 serial port for a console connection to change basic configuration settings and view basic system
functions through the CLI (command line interface). If your system lacks a DB-9 serial port, use a properly grounded
USB-to-Serial dongle for connection to the serial console port. If the dongle is connected to a laptop, the laptop also
must be properly grounded. Failure to do so may cause damage to the serial console port of the Infoblox appliance.
Infoblox is not responsible for such damage. For DB-9 pin assignments, see DB-9 Console Port and RJ-45 Port
.Pinouts
HA Port (Active for high
availability in the

SFP/SFP+ Interface Support
All models in the Infoblox 4005 Series support optional interfaces to accept SFP transceiver modules, for 1GbE optical connectivity. The table
summarizes SFP and SFP+ support for appliance models in the Infoblox 4005 Series.below
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 (10GbE) networking infrastructure, Infoblox also offers versions of the Infoblox TE-4015 and TE-4025,
Network Insight ND-4005 and Trinzic Reporting TR-4005 that provide 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces accepting SFP+ transceiver
modules, for 10GbE RJ-45 copper or optical connectivity.
The Infoblox TE-4015 and TE-4025 appliances support four active 10GbE interfaces in the optional 1GbE SFP and 10GbE SFP+ configurations.
Other appliances in the Infoblox 4005 Series, comprising the ND-4005 and TR-4005, 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.
In optional configurations for the Infoblox 4005 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 Infoblox Trinzic TE-4015 and TE-4025 appliance, and installing 1GbE SFP copper
transceivers in the MGMT and HA interfaces.
Note: For ND-4005 and TR-4005 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.

Accessing the Infoblox 4005 Series Appliance
The management system is the computer from which you configure and monitor the Infoblox appliance. You access the appliance from the
management system remotely across an Ethernet network or directly through a serial cable. After completing the steps in Cabling the Appliance
, you can open an HTTPS connection to the appliance and access the Infoblox Grid Manager using a supported Web browser. Youto a Network
must install and enable Javascript for the Grid Manager to function properly. Grid Manager supports only SSL version 3 and TLS version 1
connections. Infoblox recommends using the latest release of the supported versions of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome for
best performance.
Alternatively, start an SSHv2 connection and access the CLI 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.
Infoblox recommends that the management system meet the following requirements to operate an Infoblox appliance.

Connecting To The Appliance
Configuration of the Infoblox 4005 Series appliance, through the Grid Manager, requires a network connection. For all Infoblox 4005 Series
systems, the default network settings of the LAN1 port are 192.168.1.2/24 with a gateway at 192.168.1.1 (the HA, MGMT, and LAN2 ports do not
have default network settings). To change these settings to suit your network, use the console port.
Console Port
The Infoblox appliance has a male DB-9 console port on the front panel. You can log in to the appliance through this port and specify initial
network settings using the NIOS CLI.
Note: For serial port connections, use only a properly grounded USB-to-Serial dongle. If the dongle is connected to a laptop, the laptop also must
be properly grounded. Failure to do so may result in damage to the serial console port of the Infoblox appliance. Infoblox is not responsible for
such damage.
Connect a console cable from the console port of the management system to the console port of the Infoblox appliance.
Using a serial terminal emulation program such as Hilgraeve Hyperterminal® (provided with Windows® operating systems), launch a
session. The connection settings are:
Bits per second: 9600
Stop bits: 1
Data bits: 8
Flow control: Xon/Xoff
Parity: None

Auto Provisioning NIOS Appliances
In addition to using the Grid Setup Wizard or accessing the Join Grid dialog box to join appliances to a Grid, you can set up an Infoblox appliance
using the auto provision feature, which allows a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address to the appliance. You can then join the
auto-provisioned appliance to a Grid.
Note: The Infoblox 4005 Series appliances support auto-provisioning, and enable it by default. vNIOS appliances do not support
auto-configuration.
When you connect the appliance to the network, a lease request is automatically sent to the DHCP server. The DHCP server fingerprints the
client as “Infoblox Appliance”, as the DHCP client provides the unique option sequence (1,28,2,2,3,3,15,6,12) and vendor ID (INFOBLOX). The
DHCP server assigns a DHCP lease and a dynamic IP address to the appliance. If the DHCP lease request fails, the default IP address is
assigned to the appliance. The DHCP client tries to send the lease request for a duration of one minute when the appliance is either in the factory
default state or in the auto-configured default IP address state after a reboot.
If you do not use auto-provisioning to set up the appliance, then you can wait one minute before connecting the appliance to the network.
Otherwise, the DHCP server will assign a dynamic IP address to the appliance. Note that if you have already set the IP address for the appliance
through the NIOS CLI, Grid Manager, or API, then auto-provisioning is disabled for the appliance and the lease address is not requested. When
auto-provisioning is enabled for an appliance, the DNS, DHCP, FTP, TFTP, HTTP, NTP, bloxTools, Captive Portal, Reporting services, as well as
backup and restore are disabled for the member until a static IP address is set for the appliance. You can join a single appliance or HA pair to the
Grid. After the appliance joins the Grid, the static IP address is set for the appliance.
Complete the following to set up an appliance using auto-provisioning and to join the auto-provisioned appliance to the Grid Master:
Connect the appliance to a network by using an Ethernet cable. For information about cabling the appliance to a network, refer to Cabling
.the Appliance to a Network
Connect the appliance to a power source and turn on the power. For information about powering the appliance, refer to Powering On the
.Infoblox 4005 Series Appliance
The appliance automatically sends a lease request to the DHCP server, which assigns a DHCP lease and a dynamic IP address to the
appliance. The DHCP client tries to send the lease request for a duration of one minute and if the request fails, the default IP address
(192.168.1.2) is assigned to the appliance.
Join the appliance to the Grid Master. For information about joining an appliance to the Grid Master, refer to the Infoblox NIOS
.Administrator Guide
A static IP address is set and auto-provisioning is automatically disabled for the appliance after it joins the Grid. If the Grid member fails
to join the Grid, then the remote console is enabled for the appliance and you can join the appliance to the Grid through the remote
console. You can login to the remote console using the user name , and the Grid shared secret as the password.admin
Note: When auto-provisioning is disabled for an appliance and the network address is not preserved, auto-provisioning will be re-enabled and a
DHCP lease request is sent to the DHCP server if you reset the appliance using the CLI command or reset thereset all auto_provision
database using the CLI command . However, if the static IP address for an appliance is set and networkreset database auto_provision
settings are preserved, auto-provisioning will be re-enabled for the appliance but the lease address will not be requested if you reset the database
using the CLI command .reset database auto_provision
Specifying Appliance Settings
After the initial HTTPS connection to the Infoblox appliance, the Setup Wizard guides you through the basic deployment of the appliance on the
network. You can deploy an appliance individually or in an HA (high availability) pair, for hardware redundancy. A single appliance or an HA pair
without a Grid license runs independently from a Grid. A Grid is a group of two or more Infoblox appliances that share sections of a common,
distributed, built-in database and which you configure and monitor through a single, secure point of access—the Grid master. To set up a Grid,
you must configure a single or HA Grid master and at least one Grid member, which can also be a single appliance or an HA pair.
The following instructions guide you through the wizard and include worksheets where you can note your appliance and network settings. After
you complete the wizard, you can set additional operational parameters and configure the appliance to provide services, such as DNS and DHCP.
For detailed instructions on configuring network services on the appliance, refer to the NIOS Administrator Guide.
Open an Internet browser window and enter .https://<IP address or hostname of the your appliance>
Accept the certificate when prompted.
A certificate warning appears during the lo gin process. This is normal because the appliance generates a self-signed certificate when it
first starts, and your browser does not have a trusted CA certificate or a cachedappliance server certificate (saved from an earlier
connection) to authenticate the appliance certificate. Also,the hostname in the default certificate is , which is unlikely towww.infoblox.com
match the hostname of yourappliance. Messages appear warning that the certificate is not from a trusted certifying authority and that the
hostname on the certificate is either invalid or does not match the name of the site that sent the certificate. Either accept the certificate
just for this session or save it to the certificate store of your browser.
To eliminate the certificate warning, generate a new self-signed certificate or import a third-party certificate with a common nameNote:
that matches the FQDN (fully-qualified domain name) of the appliance. The process is straightforward. For information about certificates,
refer to the NIOS Administrator Guide.

Infoblox NIOS CLI
The NIOS CLI allows you to configure and monitor the appliance using a small set of Infoblox commands. Some tasks, such as resetting the
appliance, can be done only through the CLI. You can access the NIOS CLI through a direct console connection from your management system
to the Infoblox appliance. (For more information, see .) You can also enable remote console SSHv2 (Secure Shell version 2) accessConsole Port
through the Infoblox Grid Manager or CLI, and then access the CLI from a remote location using an SSHv2 client. (For more information, refer to
