Infoblox GUI
You can view data and configuration settings and make configuration changes through the Infoblox GUI. When an
Infoblox appliance functions as an independent appliance, you launch the Device Manager to access the GUI. When
the appliance is in a grid, you log in to the grid master and launch the grid Manager.
