  • Page 3: Introduction

    Both Infoblox-4010 Rev-1 and Rev-2 appliances support the same NIOS features. They are different in physical appearances and CPU speeds. You can identify the Infoblox-4010 version by looking at its physical appearance and the serial number in which Rev-1 starts with a 40 prefix and Rev-2 with a 4835 prefix.

  • Page 13: Network Insight Nd-4000 Product Overview

    The Network Insight ND-4000 provides three (3) RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that operate as the MGMT port, LAN1 port and LAN2 port in the Infoblox system. (The HA port is inactive and cannot be used for networking applications.) The three port assignments are from left to right...
  • Page 14 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.

    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 Infoblox appliance 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 system chassis and to be expelled from the rear of the chassis.

    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.
  • Page 20: Auto Provisioning Nios Appliances

    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.
