Note

Note

  • The vNIOS for AWS is supported on IB-V4015 appliance is supported only in from NIOS 8.6.2 onwards and on IB-4025 is supported in V4025 from NIOS 8.5.2 and later versionsonwards.

  • vNIOS for AWS instances running on NIOS 8.5.2 and later versions can be deployed with IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. Infoblox recommends the following:

    • When setting up a vNIOS instance to work in dual mode (IPv4 and IPv6) or in an IPv6-only configuration, use a shape that is r4.4xlarge or larger.

    • When setting up an IPv6-only configuration, use IB-V4015 appliances running on NIOS 8.6.2 or IB-V4025 appliances running on NIOS 8.5.2 or later.
