The management system is a computer from which you configure and monitor Infoblox-4030 and
Infoblox-4030-10GE appliances. You can access the appliance from the management system remotely across an Ethernet network or directly through a serial cable. After completing the steps in Cabling the Appliance to the Network, start an HTTPS connection to the appliance and access the Infoblox GUI using one of the supported browsers.
Alternatively, start an SSHv2 connection and access the CLI through an SSHv2 client. You can also access the CLI by connecting a serial cable directly from the console port of a management system to the console port on the appliance, and then using a terminal emulation program.
The management system must meet the following requirements to operate an Infoblox appliance.
