Domain Name Assignment
For long-term use, Infoblox recommends adding NetMRI to the network’s DNS server configuration to allow references by name to NetMRI instead of IP address. You can assign any name to the NetMRI server, but Infoblox recommends using the same Server Name that is assigned to NetMRI in the first step of the NetMRI setup process to make sure, the DNS name, SNMP system name, and HTTPS server certificate name are consistent.
HTTPS Accessibility
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Some browsers, such as Internet Explorer, automatically display the certificate dialog if the hostname used in the URL is not the same as the name provided in the server’s certificate. Infoblox recommends the DNS name used to access the NetMRI server, and the Server Name entered when configuring NetMRI, be the same value. |
...
When connecting to NetMRI via HTTPS for the first time from a given browser, the browser will display a dialog box indicating that the NetMRI server certificate has not been seen before and that the server is not currently trusted. Check the NetMRI server certificate to confirm that it contains the specified Server Name and is signed by “Infoblox, Inc.” If the certificate appears authentic, accept and install the certificate using the process supported by the Internet browser. After the certificate is installed, the dialog will no longer appear when you connect to NetMRI using HTTPS.
Shutdown Procedure
NetMRI includes an embedded database and file systems to manage the information gathered from the network. Although the database and file systems are designed to be resilient to failures, Infoblox recommends shutting the system down properly to avoid data corruption.
