Infoblox 805 Series Hardware Components
The Infoblox 805 Series are 1-U platforms that can be installed in a standard equipment rack. For information, see . Rack Mounting Procedures
Front panel components include communication ports and indicator lights. Back panel components include the air vent, power connector, and
fans.

Component Description
On/Off Switch A power switch to turn the power supply of the appliance on and off. The switch is hidden. Use a small blunt object, such as
a paper clip, to gently push the switch.
Power LED An LED that glows green when there is power to the appliance. When it is dark, the appliance is not receiving power, even if
the power cable is plugged in. When it glows red, there is an error. Ensure that you power on the appliance through the
On/Off switch using a small blunt object, such as a paper clip.
IPMI Port Dedicated Ethernet port used for LOM (Lights Out Management) with specific releases of NIOS. The IPMI/LOM Port
supports 10/100/1000 Mbps operations. Ensure that the IPMI port is properly connected to the network before you configure
LOM through the Infoblox Grid Manager for remote management. The IPMI/LOM 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 LOM port to connect to the general-use data center
network or to 1 Gbps/10 Gbps switch interfaces.
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).
Should you need to use a USB-to-Serial adapter to carry a serial connection over a USB port in a computer that lacks a
9-pin serial interface, use a properly grounded USB-to-Serial dongle to connect to the serial console port. If the dongle
connects to a laptop, the laptop also must be properly grounded. Failure to do so may result in damage to the serial console
port of the Infoblox appliance. Infoblox is not responsible for such damage. For DB-9 pin assignments, see . Figure 3
USB Port Reserved for future use.
MGMT Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that you can use for appliance management, or for appliance services on the
network. You can enable the MGMT port and define its use through the Grid Manager after the initial setup.
LAN1 Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that connects a NIOS appliance to the network. You must use the LAN1 port to
set up the appliance initially. It handles all traffic if you do not enable the MGMT and LAN2 ports. The passive node in an
HA pair uses this port to synchronize the database with the active node.
HA Port (inactive
and reserved for
future use in the
TR-ND-805 and
805)
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-805 and TR-805 Reporting only: HA Port inactive and reserved for future use.
