serial connection from your management system to the console port, you can use an RJ-45 rollover cable and two female RJ-45-to-female DB-9
adapters, or a female DB-9-to-female DB-9 null modem cable. The RJ-45 pin assignments follow IEEE 802.3 specifications. All Infoblox Ethernet
ports are auto-sensing and automatically adjust to standard straight-through and cross-over ethernet cables.
10Base-T Ethernet and 100Base-T fast Ethernet use the same two pairs of wires. The twisted pair of wires connecting to pins 1 and 2 transmit
data, and the twisted pair connecting to pins 3 and 6 receive data. For 1000Base-T connections, all four twisted-pair wires are used for
bidirectional traffic.
