Configuration of the Infoblox 805 Series appliance, through the Grid Manager, requires a network connection. Use the LAN1 port to connect to the appliance. For all Infoblox 805 Series appliances, the default network settings of the LAN1 port are 192.168.1.2/24 with a gateway at 192.168.1.1 (the HA, MGMT, and LAN2 ports do 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 NIOS CLI.

Note: For serial port connections, use only a properly grounded USB-to-Serial dongle. If the dongle is connected to a laptop, the laptop also must be properly grounded. Failure to do so may result in damage to the serial console port of the Infoblox appliance. Infoblox is not responsible for such damage.


  1. Connect a console cable from the console port of the management system to the appliance console port.
  2. 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
  3. Log in using the default user name and password admin and infoblox. User names and passwords are case-sensitive.
  4. To change the network settings from the default, enter the set network command. Then enter information as prompted to change the IP address, netmask, and gateway for the LAN1 port.
