To deploy a single independent NIOS appliance, you cable its LAN1 port to the network and change its default IP settings so that it can connect to its surrounding IP address space. The default LAN settings are as follows:
• IP address: 192.168.1.2
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: 192.168.1.1
When deploying a single independent appliance, you can use one of the following methods to set up the initial configuration:
...
Note that you can configure network settings using the Startup wizard any time after you have configured the appliance. To start the wizard, from System Manager, select the System tab, and then click System Properties -> Startup Wizard from the Toolbar.
After you configure the network settings on a single independent appliance, you can migrate data from legacy DNS and DHCP servers to the NIOS appliance. Several tools and methods are available for migrating data and configuration settings. For a list of the available options, see Infoblox Tools for Migrating Bulk Data .

Some of the NIOS appliances have an LCD and navigation buttons on the front panel that allow you to view system status and license information as well as configure network settings for the LAN1 port.

You can deploy a single independent NIOS appliance by setting its LAN1 port IP address, netmask, and gateway through the LCD. This is the simplest method because you do not need anything other than a physical access to the appliance to complete the initial configuration.
Note: LCD does not support IPv6 addressing.
