Infoblox offers a version of the Infoblox-4010 that provides four 1-Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) interfaces that accept SFP transceiver modules, for
1GbE optical connectivity. Another offered version of the Infoblox-4010 supports four 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces that accept SFP+
transceiver modules, for 10GbE optical or copper connectivity.
In select configurations, Infoblox 1GbE SFP or 10GbE SFP+ ports replace the functionality in the original system MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2
ports, thereby disabling the original system MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2 ports.
10GbE interfaces accept 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., two copper interfaces and two fiber interfaces).
SFP and SFP+ transceivers may be used in a mixed configuration in the offered 4-Port 10GbE configuration. One possible use case involves
installing 10GbE SR SFP+ transceivers in the LAN1 and LAN2 ports for the Infoblox-4010 appliance, and installing 1GbE SFP copper
transceivers in the MGMT and HA interfaces.

Network Insight ND-4000 Optical Interfaces
Infoblox offers a version of the Network Insight ND-4000 that provides three 1-Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) interfaces that accept SFP transceiver
modules, for 1GbE optical connectivity. Another offered version of the Network Insight ND-4000 supports three 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE)
interfaces that accept SFP+ transceiver modules, for 10GbE optical or copper connectivity.
In all cases, Network Insight appliances use the LAN1 and LAN2 ports for connectivity to networks for device discovery, and the MGMT port is
reserved for appliance management.
In select configurations, Infoblox 1GbE SFP or 10GbE SFP+ ports replace the functionality in the original system MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2
ports, thereby disabling the original system MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2 ports.
10GbE interfaces accept 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., two copper interfaces and two fiber interfaces).
SFP and SFP+ transceivers also may be used in a mixed configuration in the offered 3-Port 10GbE configuration. One possible use case involves
installing 10GbE SR SFP+ transceivers in the LAN1 and LAN2 ports for the Infoblox-4010 appliance, and installing 1GbE SFP copper
transceivers in the MGMT interface.

Ground Lug Installation (for DC Power Supply only)
To meet grounding and bonding requirements for NEBS compliance, you must install a ground lug on the rear of the chassis. A ground lug nut is
located on the chassis rear of the Rev-1 appliance, as labeled in and on the DC power supply as labeled in of this Guide. TheFigure 3 Figure 25
ground lug, with two star washers, is provided in the accessory kit bundled with the Infoblox appliance. The star washers are used with the ground
lug to ensure a snug fit. To install the ground lug, do the following:
Remove the ground lug nut from the rear of the chassis.
Place one star washer on the lug nut screw, which is part of the chassis.
Place the ground lug on the lug nut screw, followed by the second star washer.
Replace the lug nut screw. Ensure that it is snug.
Plug a (properly grounded) ground cable into the ground lug.
Powering On the Appliance
The Infoblox-4010 and Network Insight ND-4000 ship with two (2) hot-swappable redundant AC power supply modules or two DC 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 Infoblox-4010 appliance to the network.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN1 port on the Infoblox-4010 to the network switch or router, as indicated in .Figure 17
To connect the Infoblox-4010 appliance for HA (high availability, available only when you have two
Infoblox-4010 appliances for redundant operation), connect the HA ports on both appliances to a switch on your network. The VIP (Virtual IP),
LAN1, and HA port addresses must be on the same subnet and must be unique for that subnet.
Figure 17 Cabling a Single Appliance and an HA Pair to a Network
Note: By default, an Infoblox appliance automatically negotiates the optimal connection speed and transmission type (full or half duplex) on the
physical links between its LAN1, LAN2, HA, and MGMT ports and the Ethernet ports on a connecting switch. If the two appliances fail to
auto-negotiate the optimal settings, see the for steps to resolve the problem.Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide
The Network Insight ND-4000 appliance does not support HA (high availability).
3. ( ) To ensure that VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) works properly, configure the following settings at theInfoblox-4010 only
port level for all the connecting switch ports (LAN1, LAN2 and HA where applicable):
Spanning Tree Protocol: Disable. For vendor specific information, search for "HA" in the Infoblox Knowledge Base system at http

Connecting to the Appliance
Configuration of the Infoblox-4010 appliance, through the Infoblox GUI, requires a network connection. Use the LAN1 port to connect to the
appliance. For all Infoblox-4010 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 rear panel. You can log in to the appliance through this port and specify initial
network settings using the Infoblox CLI.
Note: Only a properly grounded USB-to-Serial dongle is allowed to connect to the serial console port. If the dongle is connected to a laptop, this

After you confirm your network settings, the appliance automatically restarts.
Auto Provisioning NIOS Appliances
In addition to using the Grid Setup Wizard or access the Join Grid dialog box to join appliances to a Grid, you can set up a NIOS 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.
Auto-provisioning is enabled by default for physical appliances, but it is not supported for vNIOS appliances. 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 Infoblox CLI, GUI, 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 Cabling th
.e Appliance to a Network
Connect the appliance to a power source and turn on the power. For information about powering the appliance, refer Powering On the
.Appliance
A lease request is automatically sent to the DHCP server, and it 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 NIOS Administrator Guid
.e
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 the database using thereset all
CLI command . However, if the static IP address for an appliance is set and network settings are preserved, auto-provisioningreset database
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
