Interface Connector Pin Assignments
An Infoblox appliance has three types of ports on its front panel:
• USB port (reserved for future use)
• Male DB-9 console port
• Four (4) RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-T/1000Base-T auto-sensing gigabit Ethernet ports
Figure 4 describes DB-9 and RJ-45 connector pin assignments. The DB-9 pin assignments follow the EIA232
standard. To make a serial connection from your management system to the console port, you can use an RJ-45
rollover cable and two female RJ-45-to-female DB-9 adapters, or a female DB-9-to-female DB-9 null modem cable.
The RJ-45 pin assignments follow IEEE 802.3 specifications. All Infoblox Ethernet ports are auto-sensing and
automatically adjust to standard straight-through and cross-over ethernet cables.
