Powering the Appliance
The Network Automation NT-1400 ships with one (1) AC power supply module. You can order an additional AC power supply to set up a
hot-swappable redundant 1+1 configuration. In the 1+1 configuration, 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
circuit.
Note: If your appliance comes with one power supply and an empty module, ensure that the power supply is in the PSU #1 slot and the empty
module in the #2 slot. You cannot switch them.
Network Automation appliances with a single power supply will go dark if the single power supply stops working for any reason. Infoblox
recommends ordering an additional Power Supply for a redundant 1+1 configuration.
To power the appliance:
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 straight-through Category 5/6 Ethernet cables to connect the Network Automation NT-1400 to the network.
The Network Automation NT-1400 appliance does not require a monitor, keyboard, or mouse for normal operation. It requires only an Ethernet
connection. Follow these steps to connect the NT-1400 appliance to the network:
Configure the appliance to use one port (same port for both system administration and network analysis): Connect from the MGMT
Ethernet connector on the appliance front panel to an available Ethernet connection on the network.
or
Configure the appliance to use two or three ports (the MGMT port for Network Automation administration and the LAN1 and LAN2 port for
network analysis):
Connect from the MGMT Ethernet connector on the appliance front panel to the network supporting your management systems.
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.
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-1400 appliance supports 10/100/1000Mbps network connections.

that the link indicator is lit on the switch port to which the appliance is connected.
Figure 9 Cabling the NT-1400 Appliance to the 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.
4. Use the Infoblox GUI to access the Infoblox appliance from a management system. Through the GUI, you can set up and administer the
appliance. For management system requirements and access instructions, see Initial .Network Automation Appliance Configuration
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 , you can make an HTTPS connection to the appliance and access the InfobloxCabling the Appliance to a Network
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:
From the menu, select .Start Control Panel
In the dialog box, click .Control Panel Network and Sharing Center
In the dialog box, click .Network Connections Change Adapter Settings

its prior configuration.
8. Click Close in the dialog box.Local Area Connections Status
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 and password .admin admin
13. Continue the configuration by following the instructions described in Configuring a Network Automation .Appliance for IPv4 and IPv6
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:
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.
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:d
. The value 15 in this example is the interface number, which will vary with each client.c38%15
In a Windows command line, run the following command:
netsh interface ipv6 show neighbor
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.
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.
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).
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.
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 in the .Configuring Network Automation Using the Setup Wizard 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:

IPv6 Address (optional) []:
IPv6 Prefix (optional):
You must provide either an IPv4 gateway, an IPv6 gateway, or both.
IPv4 Default Gateway (optional) []: 10.120.25.1
IPv6 Default Gateway (optional) []:
Note: You must provide either an IPv4 or IPv6 gateway address, or both, depending on the Network Automation IP address.
The configure server command then requests configuration of the Scan port if you are running two-port configuration:
Do you want to configure the Scan Port? <y/n> [n]:
Entering instructs the configure server command to skip IP configuration for the Scan port.N
Note: The Network Automation appliance uses active Ethernet ports labeled MGMT, LAN1 and LAN2. The LAN1 port corresponds to the Scan
port referred to in the configure server command. When you define the Scan port settings in configure server, it is the LAN1 port IP connectivity
you are defining for the appliance. In two-port configurations, this interface is used to connect to the networks being scanned and managed by
Network Automation. You can also configure the LAN2 port as a another scan interface through the Network Automation UI.

Infoblox Network Automation CLI
The Infoblox CLI allows you to configure and monitor the appliance using a small set of Infoblox commands. There are some tasks, such as
resetting the appliance, that you can only do through the CLI. You can access the Infoblox CLI through a direct console connection from your
management system to the Infoblox appliance. You can also enable remote console access — that is, SSHv1/v2 client access — through the
Infoblox GUI, and then access the CLI from a remote location using an SSHv2 client (Settings icon –> Network Automation Settings –>
tab).Security –> SSH Settings

Replacing Appliance Components
Network Automation NT-1400 appliances provide AC power supplies as a field replaceable unit (FRU) in the system.
All replaceable units must be replaced with parts of the same specifications as described in this section. You can also order an offered part as a
local spare. For information about compatible parts and their part numbers, see .Table 3
Changing AC Power Supplies
Note: Before changing the power supply, make sure it is securely cabled. An apparently failed power supply may simply be improperly connected
to its power source.
:Caution Never remove a correctly functioning power supply in a live system. Removing the power supply from a correctly operating Infoblox
appliance appliance can cause a complete failure of the appliance and require an RMA (Return Material Authorization).
The Network Automation NT-1400 ships with one AC power supply, with the option to add a second power supply for a redundant 1+1
configuration. In a 1+1 configuration, when a power supply fails for any reason, the other assumes the full load automatically and the Infoblox GUI
displays a power supply alarm. The appliance can also be configured through the Network Automation software to send an email notification and
to report an SNMP trap when such events occur in a 1+1 configuration. This configuration minimizes the chance of system failure due to failure of
an individual power supply. illustrates the process of replacing an AC power supply.Figure 10
Each power supply weighs about one pound (0.454 kg). The faceplate of the power supply contains a power LED and a power switch. Each AC
power supply provides a dedicated power outlet.

Note: If your appliance comes with one power supply and an empty module, ensure that the power supply is in the PSU #1 slot and the empty
module in the #2 slot. A single power supply runs only in #1 slot as shown in .Figure 10
Figure 10 Removing a Network Automation NT-1400 AC Power Supply
To replace a Network Automation NT-1400 AC power supply, do the following:
Turn off the power circuit to the appliance's AC power supply.
Disconnect the AC power cable from the appliance's AC power supply.
Gently press the black catch-release lever toward the handle, grip the power supply handle, and pull the power supply unit out of the
chassis as illustrated in .Figure 10
Place the replacement power supply into the bay and push it forward until it is fully seated in the chassis. The catch-release lever will
gently click into place.
Reconnect the power cable.
Turn on the power supply. If it is fully seated, powered on, and operating, the LED glows steady green.
