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 appliance to make a console
connection to this port.
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.
