SFP/SFP+ Interface Support
All models in the Infoblox 1405 Series support optional interface configurations to accept SFP transceiver modules, for 1GbE optical connectivity.
To support connectivity to 10 Gigabit networking infrastructure, Infoblox also offers versions of the TE-1415, TE-1425, Network Insight ND-1405
and Trinzic Reporting TR-1405 that provide 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces accepting SFP+ transceiver modules for 10GbE RJ-45 copper
or optical network connectivity. shows an Infoblox 1405 Series appliance with optical interfaces. Figure 3
summarizes SFP and SFP+ support for appliance models in the Infoblox 1405 Series.Table 2
The TE-1415 and TE-1425 appliances support four active 10GbE interfaces in the optional 1GbE SFP and 10GbE SFP+ configurations. Other
appliances in the Infoblox 1405 Series, comprising the ND-1405 and TR-1405, support three active interfaces in the optional 1GbE SFP and
10GbE SFP+ configurations. The port designated HA is inactive for these appliances. Order of ports from left to right is otherwise identical.
The Infoblox PT-1405 operates only with 1GbE SFP interfaces, and supports HA.
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.

In optional configurations for select Infoblox 1405 Series appliances, 1GbE SFP and 10GbE SFP+ ports replace the functionality in the original
built-in MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2 ports, thereby disabling the built-in ports as indicated in . 10GbE support accepts Infoblox-provided Figure 3

10GSFP+Cu transceivers.
You may mix media types in the set of ports (e.g., two copper interfaces and two fiber interfaces).
You may use SFP and SFP+ transceivers in a mixed configuration in 4-Port 10GbE appliances. An example use case involves installing 10GbE
SR SFP+ transceivers in the LAN1 and LAN2 ports for the TE-1405, TE- 1415, or TE-1425 appliance, and installing 1GbE SFP copper
transceivers in the MGMT and HA interfaces.
