Infoblox 2200 Series Hardware Components
For the Infoblox 2200 Series Platforms 13
Figure 5 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.

Legend: BI_D = bidirectional; A, B, C, D = wire pairings
10Base-T Ethernet and 100Base-T fast Ethernet use the same two pairs of wires. The twisted pair of wires
connecting to pins 1 and 2 transmit data, and the twisted pair connecting to pins 3 and 6 receive data.
1000Base-T connections use all four twisted-pair wires for bidirectional traffic.
