By default, an Infoblox appliance automatically negotiates the optimal connection speed and transmission type (full or half duplex) on the physical links between its LAN1, LAN2, HA, and MGMT ports and the Ethernet ports on a connecting switch.
Occasionally, the appliances may fail to auto-negotiate that speed and type, and instead connect at lower speeds of either 100 or 10 Mbps using potentially mismatched full- and half-duplex transmissions. If this occurs, begin by determining whether there is a firmware upgrade available for the switch. If so, apply the firmware upgrade to the switch and test the connection. If that does not resolve the issue, manually set the ports on the Infoblox appliance and on the switch to make 1000-Mbps full-duplex connections. See the section Modifying Ethernet Port Settings in in the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide for the steps to resolve the problem.
