Ethernet Port LEDs
To see the link activity and connection speed of an Ethernet port, you can look at its Link/Act and Speed LEDs. The
Speed LED is on the top-left of the port, and the Link/Act LED is on the top-right. These LEDs are labeled on the
Infoblox-250.
Table 2
shows the port status that corresponds to the various LED colors and illumination (steady
glow or blinking).

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). Use the serial cable and connection adapters that ship with the
device to make a console connection to this port.
Drive Indicator
An LED that flashes green to indicate when the hard drive processes data.
Power Indicator
An LED that glows green to indicate when there is power to the device.
MGMT Port
The Infoblox-250 has a 10/100/1000-Mbps fast Ethernet port that you can use
for device management or DNS service. You can enable the MGMT port and
define its use through the GUI.
HA Port
A 10/100/1000-Mbps fast 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.
LAN Port
The LAN1 port on the Infoblox-250 is a 10/100/1000-Mbps fast Ethernet port
that connects a single device to the network. If the MGMT port is not in use, a
single Infoblox-250 uses the LAN1 port for management traffic. The passive
node in an HA pair uses this port to synchronize the database with the active
node.
LAN2 Port
Reserved for future use.
