Introduction to the Infoblox 2200 Series
10 Infoblox Installation Guide
IPMI Port Dedicated Ethernet port used for LOM (Lights Out Management) with specific releases of NIOS.
The IPMI/LOM Port supports 10/100 operation only. Ensure that the IPMI port is properly
connected to the network before you configure LOM through the Grid Manager for remote
management. The IPMI port auto-negotiates up to Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX speeds; ensure
that the switch port to which the IPMI port connects will auto-negotiate to 100Mbps operation.
Follow best practices for IPMI usage in the network by not allowing the IPMI port to connect to
the general-use data center network or to 1 Gbps/10 Gbps switch interfaces.
MGMT Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port for appliance management, or for appliance
services on the network. You enable the MGMT port and define its use through the Grid
Manager after the initial setup.
The Advanced Appliance PT-2200 must be managed through its MGMT port.
LAN1 Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that connects the appliance to the network. You
use the LAN1 port for initial appliance setup. The LAN1 port carries all traffic if you do not
enable the MGMT and LAN2 ports. The passive node in an HA pair (supported in the Trinzic
2210 and 2220 appliances) uses this port to synchronize the database with the active node.
Console Port A male DB-9 serial port for a console connection to change basic configuration settings and
view basic system functions through the CLI (command line interface).
If your system lacks a DB-9 serial port, use a properly grounded USB-to-Serial dongle for
connection to the serial console port. If the dongle is connected to a laptop, the laptop also
must be properly grounded. Failure to do so may cause damage to the serial console port of
the Infoblox appliance. Infoblox is not responsible for such damage. For DB-9 pin
assignments, see Figure 5.
HA Port (inactive and
reserved for future
use in the PT-2200,
ND-2200 and
TR-2200)
A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port through which the active node in an HA (high
availability) pair connects to the network using a VIP (virtual IP) address. HA pair nodes also
use their HA ports for VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) advertisements.
ND-2200, PT-2200 and TR-2200 Reporting Models: HA Port inactive and reserved for future
use.
LAN2 Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that connects the appliance to the network. The
LAN2 port is disabled by default. You enable the LAN2 port and define its use through the Grid
Manager after initial setup.
UID Button The unit identification button. When you press the UID button, the LCD panel on the front
panel blinks and the UID LED on the rear panel glows blue. In a rack environment, the UID
feature enables easier location of a server when moving between the front and rear of the rack.
You can also identify the appliance through the Grid Manager and CLI command.
LCD Panel An LCD screen that displays HA (high availability) status, network settings, software version
number, hardware serial number, and software licenses. You can view and configure the IP
address, netmask, and gateway for the LAN1 port.
Navigation
Buttons
Buttons that allow you to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway of the LAN1 port
through the LCD. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to specify numbers and the Left and
Right buttons to navigate across digits. You must specify whether to save input (Accept) or
discard it (Cancel). Selecting Cancel at any time returns you to the previous entry. Entering
Accept on the third screen returns you to the system status screen.
