the appliance and access the Infoblox GUI using one of the supported browsers.
Alternatively, you can make an SSHv2 connection and access the CLI through an SSHv2 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 then using a terminal emulation program.
The management system must meet the following requirements to operate an Infoblox appliance.
