From NIOS-9.x release, IB-4030 and IB-4030-10GE appliances are not supported.
Similar features are available with software based DNS cache appliances, and their respective DNS cache acceleration CLI commands.

The NIOS-based IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE appliance provides several commands to change settings in the system. To use these commands, you must connect through SSH or connect through the serial console port to the IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE and login with the appropriate admin account.
The IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE appliance supports the standard NIOS command-line interface for communicating with the device. For more information, refer to the Infoblox CLI Guide.

  • set dns transfer–Schedules zone transfers. Note that set dns transfer is not used by IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE with an active DNS Cache Acceleration license.
  • set monitor dns –Activates DNS monitoring in NIOS. This command is disabled on IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE with an active DNS Cache Acceleration license.
  • show monitor dns –Displays DNS network monitoring data. This command is disabled on IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE with an active DNS Cache Acceleration license.
  • set interface–Defines port speed and duplex settings for all supported interfaces.
  • show interface–Shows the status and configuration of a chosen port.
  • show smartnic–Shows the cusrrent status of the appliance. This command applies only to IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE appliances.
  • show smartnic-cache–You can view the current accelerator cache contents or view the prior cache dump file. This command may affect DNS query response performance for around 15 seconds during execution. This command applies only to IB-4030 and IB-4030-10GE appliances with DNS cache acceleration license enabled.
  • set smartnic log–Specify the log level for the DNS Cache Acceleration service on the appliance.
  • set temp_license–Generates and installs a temporary DNS cache acceleration license. You can add a temporary DNS cache acceleration license for up to one million qps. Note that you cannot add a temporary license if a permanent license already exists.
  • show license–Displays the capacity of the applicable DNS cache acceleration license type.
  • show smartnic-cache existing-file–Displays the existing cache data file of IB-4030 and IB-4030-10GE.

The CLI commands listed below are frequently used on the appliance. For detailed information about the supported CLI commands, refer to the Infoblox CLI Guide.

set dns

...

The set dns command enables you to control the DNS cache. You can flush the cache of a DNS view or flush a particular entry from the cache.

Infoblox > set dns flush name accounting.corp100.com
Infoblox > set dns flush all

...

show dns

...

The show dns command displays DNS query statistics for all DNS views in the IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE appliance. It also displays the recursive cache for the specified DNS views.

...

Infoblox > show dns stats
success 6718810
referral 0
nxrrset 0
nxdomain 0
recursion 257
failure 0

...

set smartnic log

...

...

Sets the logging level for the DNS Cache Acceleration service on the IB-4030 or IB-4030-10GE appliance, where the level is between 0 being the least verbose and 7 being the most verbose.

...

Infoblox > set smartnic log 7

...

show smartnic

...

...

Checks the status and settings of the DNS Cache Acceleration service.
