The NIOS-based IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE appliance provides several commands to change settings in the system. To use these commands, you must connect through SSH or connect through the serial console port to the IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE and login with the appropriate admin account.
The IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE appliance supports the standard NIOS command-line interface for communicating with the device. For more information see the NIOS Documentation at docs.infoblox.com, CLI section.

The CLI commands listed below are frequently used on the DNS Cache Acceleration appliance(s). For more information see the NIOS Documentation, CLI section at docs.infoblox.com.

set temp_license

Generates and installs a temporary DNS cache acceleration license. You can add a temporary DNS cache acceleration license for up to one million qps. Note that you cannot add a temporary license if a permanent license already exists. This command is used on software-based and hardware DNS Cache Acceleration appliances.

Syntax

set temp_license

Example

set temp_license

show license

The show license command displays the capacity of the applicable DNS cache acceleration license type.

Syntax

 show license  [ all | csv | gridwide | revoked ]

Example

Infoblox > show license all
Infoblox > show license csv
Infoblox > show license gridwide
Infoblox > show license revoked

set dns
