10 Gigabit Ethernet Support
To ensure connectivity to 10 Gigabit networking infrastructure, Infoblox offers versions of the TR-1400 (Trinzic
Reporting appliance) providing three active 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces accepting SFP+ transceiver
modules for 10GbE RJ-45 copper or for 10GbE optical connectivity. An example with fiber transceivers is shown in
Figure 4

Infoblox also offers versions of the TR-1400 appliance providing three active 1-Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) interfaces
that accept SFP transceiver modules for 1GbE optical connectivity.
In select configurations for the Trinzic Reporting 1400, the Infoblox 1GbE SFP or 10GbE SFP+ ports replace the
functionality in the original system MGMT, LAN1, and LAN2 ports, thereby disabling the built-in MGMT, LAN1, and
LAN2 ports. 10GbE support accepts Infoblox-provided SFP+ 10GbE Short Range and Long Range transceivers, Cisco
SFP+ Direct Attach Cu, or HP HPJ9283B SFP+ Direct Attach Cu transceivers.
You may mix media types in the set of ports (e.g., copper interfaces and fiber interfaces).
SFP and SFP+ transceivers may be used in a mixed configuration in the 10GbE system. One possible use case
involves installing 10GbE SR SFP+ transceivers in the LAN1 and LAN2 ports for the Trinzic Reporting 1400 appliance,
and installing a 1GbE SFP copper transceiver in the MGMT interface.
