The Infoblox CLI allows you to configure and monitor the appliance using a small set of Infoblox commands. There are some tasks, such as resetting the appliance, that you can only do through the CLI. You can access the Infoblox CLI through a direct console connection from your management system to the Infoblox appliance. (For more information, see The Infoblox appliance has a male DB-9 console port on the rear panel. You can log in to the appliance through this port and specify initial network settings using the Infoblox CLI. .) You can also enable remote console access—that is, SSHv2 (Secure Shell version 2) access—through the Infoblox GUI or CLI, and then access the CLI from a remote location using an SSHv2 client. (For more information, refer to the NIOS Administrator Guide.)
