Auto Provisioning NIOS Appliances

In addition to using the Grid Setup Wizard or access the Join Grid dialog box to join appliances to a Grid, you can set up a NIOS appliance using
the auto provision feature, which allows a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address to the appliance. You can then join the
auto-provisioned appliance to a Grid.
Auto-provisioning is enabled by default for physical appliances, but it is not supported for vNIOS appliances. When you connect the appliance to
the network, a lease request is automatically sent to the DHCP server. The DHCP server fingerprints the client as "Infoblox Appliance", as the
DHCP client provides the unique option sequence (1,28,2,2,3,3,15,6,12) and vendor ID (INFOBLOX). The DHCP server assigns a DHCP lease
and a dynamic IP address to the appliance. If the DHCP lease request fails, the default IP address is assigned to the appliance. The DHCP client
tries to send the lease request for a duration of one minute when the appliance is either in the factory default state or in the auto-configured
default IP address state after a reboot. If you do not use auto-provisioning to set up the appliance, then you can wait one minute before
connecting the appliance to the network. Otherwise, the DHCP server will assign a dynamic IP address to the appliance. Note that if you have
already set the IP address for the appliance through the Infoblox CLI, GUI, or API, then auto-provisioning is disabled for the appliance and the
lease address is not requested. When auto-provisioning is enabled for an appliance, the DNS, DHCP, FTP, TFTP, HTTP, NTP, bloxTools,
Captive Portal, Reporting services, as well as backup and restore are disabled for the member until a static IP address is set for the appliance.
You can join a single appliance or HA pair to the Grid. After the appliance joins the Grid, the static IP address is set for the appliance.
Complete the following to set up an appliance using auto-provisioning and to join the auto-provisioned appliance to the Grid Master:

Connect the appliance to a network by using an Ethernet cable. For information about cabling the appliance to a network, refer

Cabling th

e Appliance to the Network

Connect the appliance to a power source and turn on the power. For information about powering the appliance, refer

Powering On the

Appliance

A lease request is automatically sent to the DHCP server, and it assigns a DHCP lease and a dynamic IP address to the appliance. The
DHCP client tries to send the lease request for a duration of one minute and if the request fails, the default IP address (192.168.1.2) is
assigned to the appliance.
Join the appliance to the Grid Master. For information about joining an appliance to the Grid Master, refer to the

NIOS Administrator Guid

e
A static IP address is set and auto-provisioning is automatically disabled for the appliance after it joins the Grid. If the Grid member fails
to join the Grid, then the remote console is enabled for the appliance and you can join the appliance to the Grid through the remote
console. You can login to the remote console using the user name,

and the Grid shared secret as the password.

admin

Note: When auto-provisioning is disabled for an appliance and the network address is not preserved, auto-provisioning will be re-enabled and a
DHCP lease request is sent to the DHCP server if you reset the appliance using the CLI command

or reset the database using the

reset all

CLI command

. However, if the static IP address for an appliance is set and network settings are preserved, auto-provisioning

reset database

will be re-enabled for the appliance but the lease address will not be requested if you reset the database using the CLI command

Specifying Appliance Settings

After the initial HTTPS connection to the Infoblox appliance, you see the Setup Wizard, which guides you through the basic deployment of the
appliance on the network. Infoblox-4030 appliances are deployed in one of two possible ways:

As a single appliance as part of an Infoblox Grid, with a Grid license;
Without a Grid license and running independently.

A Grid is a group of two or more Infoblox appliances that share sections of a common, distributed, built-in database and which you configure and
monitor through a single, secure point of access — the Grid Master. To set up a Grid, you must configure a Grid Master and at least one Grid
member. For information about how to set up a Grid, refer to the

Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide

The following instructions guide you through the wizard and include worksheets where you can note your appliance and network settings. After
you complete the wizard, you can set additional operational parameters and configure the appliance to provide services, such as DNS. For
detailed instructions on configuring the appliance, refer to the

Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide

Open an Internet browser window and enter

https://<IP address or hostname of the NIOS appliance>

Accept the certificate when prompted.
A certificate warning appears during the login process. This is normal because the NIOS appliance generates a self-signed certificate
when it first starts, and your browser does not have a trusted CA certificate or a cached NIOS appliance server certificate (saved from an
earlier connection) to authenticate the Trinzic appliance certificate. Also, the hostname in the default certificate is

whic

www.infoblox.com,

h is unlikely to match the hostname of your NIOS appliance. Consequently, messages appear warning that the certificate is not from a
trusted certifying authority and that the hostname on the certificate is either invalid or does not match the name of the site that sent the
certificate. Either accept the certificate just for this session or save it to the certificate store of your browser.
To eliminate the certificate warning, generate a new self-signed certificate or import a third-party certificate with a common name that
matches the FQDN (fully-qualified domain name) of the appliance. This is a very simple process. For more information about certificates,
refer to the
