Installing the Infoblox 2200 Series Appliance
22 Infoblox Installation Guide
Powering the Appliance
The Infoblox 2200 Series appliances ship with two (2) hot-swappable AC power supply modules (PS1 and PS2) and
matching AC power cables. Infoblox also offers optional DC power supply modules. Infoblox recommends using the
power cables that ship with the appliances to connect each power supply to separate power circuits. In the event of
a power failure on one circuit, the appliances can then operate on the other circuit.
To power the appliance:
• For each power supply, connect a power cable between the power connector on the back of the appliance and
a properly grounded and rated power circuit that meets the provisions of the current edition of the National
Electrical Code, or other wiring rules that apply to your location. Make sure that the outlet is near the
appliance and is accessible.
Cabling the Appliance to a Network
Use one or more Category 5/6 Ethernet cables to connect the appliance to the network.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN1 port on the appliance to your network switch or router.
2. ( Trinzic TE-2210 and Trinzic TE-2220 appliances only ) If you want to connect your appliance for HA (high
availability), connect the HA ports on both appliances to a switch on your network. The VIP (Virtual IP), LAN1,
and HA port addresses must be on the same subnet and must be unique for that subnet.

Appliance–Network Connectivity
By default, an Infoblox appliance automatically negotiates the optimal connection speed and transmission type (full
or half duplex) on the physical links between its LAN1, LAN2, HA, and MGMT ports and the Ethernet ports on a
connecting switch.
Occasionally, the Infoblox appliances may fail to auto-negotiate that speed and type, and instead connect at lower
speeds of either 100 or 10 Mbps using potentially mismatched full- and half-duplex transmissions. If this occurs,
begin by determining whether there is a firmware upgrade available for the switch. If so, apply the firmware upgrade
to the switch and test the connection. If that does not resolve the issue, manually set the ports on the Infoblox
appliance and on the switch to make 1000-Mbps full-duplex connections. See the section
Modifying Ethernet Port
Settings in the Infoblox
NIOS Administrator Guide
for the steps to resolve the problem.

When cabling a single Infoblox appliance to the
network, connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN1 port
on the appliance to a switch or router.
When cabling a pair of Infoblox appliances to the
network for high availability, connect Ethernet cables
from the LAN1 and HA ports on each appliance to a
switch or router.
