Auto Provisioning NIOS Appliances
In addition to using the Grid Setup Wizard or accessing the Join Grid dialog box to join appliances to a Grid, you can
set up an Infoblox 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.
Note:
The Infoblox 2200 Series appliances support auto-provisioning, and enable it by default. vNIOS appliances
do not support auto-configuration.
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 NIOS CLI, Grid Manager, 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:
1.
Connect the appliance to a network by using an Ethernet cable. For information about cabling the appliance to
a network, refer to
Cabling the Appliance to a Network
on page 22.
2.
Connect the appliance to a power source and turn on the power. For information about powering the appliance,
refer to
Powering the Appliance
on page 22.
The appliance automatically sends a lease request to the DHCP server, which 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.
3.
Join the appliance to the Grid Master. For information about joining an appliance to the Grid Master, refer to
the
NIOS Administrator Guide
