Infoblox 2200 Series front panel components include the LCD (liquid crystal display) panel and navigation buttons, communication ports, and hard disk drives, as shown in Figure 2 and described in Table 1 . For explanations of Ethernet port LEDs, and console and Ethernet port connector pin assignments, see Ethernet Port LEDs and Interface Connector Pin Assignments.

The hard disk drives are concealed under a removable drive bay door. You must remove the door to access the hard disk drives, as shown in Figure 2 . For explanations of the Ethernet port LEDs, and console and Ethernet port connector pin assignments, see Ethernet Port LEDs and Interface Connector Pin Assignments.

Component | Description |
|---|---|
Hard Disk Drives | Four hot-swappable Infoblox data storage devices configured in a RAID 10 (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) array. Each disk drive has LEDs on the far left side of each drive carrier, that indicate the connection and activity status on the disk drive. The top LED flickers green when the disk drive is operational and performing read-write operations. The lower LED is dark (inactive) during all operations. Both drive LEDs are dark when the disk drive is not connected. You must use the Grid Manager UI or the NIOS CLI to verify disk operation. For more information, see Evaluating the Status of the Disk Subsystem. |
On/Off Switch | A power switch to turn the power supply of the appliance on and off. The switch is hidden. Use a small blunt object, such as a paper clip, to gently push the switch. |
USB Ports | Reserved for future use. |
IPMI Port | Dedicated Ethernet port used for LOM (Lights Out Management) with specific releases of NIOS. The IPMI/LOM Port supports 10/100 operation only. Ensure that the IPMI port is properly connected to the network before you configure LOM through the Grid Manager for remote management. The IPMI port auto-negotiates up to Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX speeds; ensure that the switch port to which the IPMI port connects will auto-negotiate to 100Mbps operation. Follow best practices for IPMI usage in the network by not allowing the IPMI port to connect to the general-use data center network or to 1 Gbps/10 Gbps switch interfaces. |
MGMT Port | A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port for appliance management, or for appliance services on the network. You enable the MGMT port and define its use through the Grid Manager after the initial setup. |
LAN1 Port | A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that connects the appliance to the network. You use the LAN1 port for initial appliance setup. The LAN1 port carries all traffic if you do not enable the MGMT and LAN2 ports. The passive node in an HA pair (supported in the Trinzic 2210 and 2220 appliances) uses this port to synchronize the database with the active node. From NIOS 8.6.x onwards, hybrid HA is supported. A hybrid HA pair can comprise a physical appliance and a virtual appliance, two physical appliances, or two virtual appliances. For more information on limitations of using HA pair combinations, see Limitations of Using a Combination of a Physical Appliance and a Virtual Appliance for HA. |
Console Port | A male DB-9 serial port for a console connection to change basic configuration settings and view basic system functions through the CLI (command line interface). |
HA Port (Active for high availability in the TE-2200 appliances and | A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port through which the active node in an HA (high availability) pair connects to the network using a VIP (virtual IP) address. HA pair nodes also use their HA ports for VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) advertisements. |
LAN2 Port | A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that connects the appliance to the network. The LAN2 port is disabled by default. You enable the LAN2 port and define its use through the Grid Manager after initial setup. |
UID Button | The unit identification button. When you press the UID button, the LCD panel on the front panel blinks and the UID LED on the rear panel glows blue. In a rack environment, the UID feature enables easier location of a server when moving between the front and rear of the rack. You can also identify the appliance through the Grid Manager and CLI command. |
LCD Panel | An LCD screen that displays HA (high availability) status, network settings, software version number, hardware serial number, and software licenses. You can view and configure the IP address, netmask, and gateway for the LAN1 port. |
Navigation Buttons | Buttons that allow you to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway of the LAN1 port through the LCD. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to specify numbers and the Left and Right buttons to navigate across digits. You must specify whether to save input (Accept) or discard it (Cancel). Selecting Cancel at any time returns you to the previous entry. Entering Accept on the third screen returns you to the system status screen. |

To see the link activity and connection speed of an Ethernet port, you can look at its Activity and Link LEDs. Figure 3 shows the status the LEDs convey through their color and illumination (steady glow or blinking).

All models in the Infoblox 2200 Series support optional interfaces to accept SFP transceiver modules, for 1GbE optical connectivity.
To support connectivity to 10 Gigabit networking infrastructure, Infoblox also offers versions of the Trinzic TE-2210, Trinzic TE-2220, Network Insight ND-2200 and Trinzic Reporting TR-2200 that provide 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces accepting SFP+ transceiver modules, for 10GbE RJ-45 copper or optical connectivity. Figure 4 shows an example with optical transceivers.
Table 2 summarizes SFP and SFP+ support for appliance models in the Infoblox 2200 Series.

- USB port (reserved for future use)
- Male DB-9 console port
- RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-T/1000Base-T auto-sensing gigabit Ethernet ports
Figure 5 describes DB-9 and RJ-45 connector pin assignments. The DB-9 pin assignments follow the EIA232 standard. To make a serial connection from your management system to the console port, you can use an RJ-45 rollover cable and two female RJ-45-to-female DB-9 adapters, or a female DB-9-to-female DB-9 null modem cable. The RJ-45 pin assignments follow IEEE 802.3 specifications. All Infoblox Ethernet ports are auto-sensing and automatically adjust to standard straight-through and cross-over ethernet cables.
