Accessing the Trinzic 100 Appliance
After completing the steps in
, you can make an SSHv2 connection and access the CLI through an SSHv2
Cabling the Appliance to a Network
client. You can also access the CLI by connecting a serial cable directly from the console port of a management system to the console port on the
appliance, and using a terminal emulation program. The management system is the computer from which you configure and monitor the Infoblox
appliance. You can access the appliance from the management system remotely across an Ethernet network or directly through a serial cable.
The management system must meet the following requirements to operate an Infoblox appliance.

Connecting to the Appliance
Before you can access and configure the Trinzic 100 appliance through the Grid Master, you must be able to make a network connection to it.
You must use the LAN1 port to connect to the appliance. The default network settings of the LAN1 port are 192.168.1.2/24 with a gateway at
192.168.1.1 (the MGMT port does not have default network settings). To change these settings to suit your network, use the console port.
Console Port
The Infoblox appliance has a male DB-9 console port on the front panel. You can log in to the appliance through this port and specify initial
network settings using the Infoblox CLI.
Note: 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.
Connect a console cable from the console port of the management system to the console port of the Infoblox appliance.
Using a serial terminal emulation program such as Hilgraeve Hyperterminal® (provided with Windows® operating systems), launch a
session. The connection settings are:
Bits per second: 9600
Stop bits: 1
Data bits: 8
Flow control: Xon/Xoff
Parity: None
