Connecting to the Appliance

Infoblox appliance configuration requires a network connection. Use the LAN1 port to connect to the appliance (see 

). For all

Figure 3

Infoblox-4030 systems, the default network settings of the LAN1 port are 192.168.1.2/24 with a gateway at 192.168.1.1 (the MGMT and LAN2
ports do not have default network settings). To change these settings to suit your network, use the console port.

Console Port

The Infoblox appliance has a male DB-9 console port on the rear panel. You can log in to the appliance through this port and specify initial
network settings using the Infoblox CLI.

Note: Only a properly grounded USB-to-Serial dongle is allowed to connect to the serial console port. If the dongle is connected to a laptop, this
laptop must be grounded properly as well. Failure to do so may result in damage to the serial console port of the Infoblox appliance. Infoblox is
not responsible for such damage.

Connect a console cable from the console port of the management system to the console port of the Infoblox appliance.
Using a serial terminal emulation program such as Hilgraeve Hyperterminal® (provided with Windows® operating systems), launch a
session. The connection settings are:

Bits per second: 9600
Stop bits: 1
Data bits: 8
Flow control: Xon/Xoff
Parity: None

3. Log in using the default user name and password 

 and 

 (case-sensitive).

4. To change the network settings from the default, enter the 

 command. Then enter information as prompted to change the IP

set network

address, netmask, and gateway for the LAN1 port.
