When deploying a single independent appliance, you can use one of the following methods to set up the initial configuration:
- Method 1 – - Using the LCD
- Requirements: Physical access to a powered up NIOS appliance.
- Advantage: You do not need any other equipment.
- Method 2 – - Using the CLI
- Requirements: A serial connection from your management system to the console port on the NIOS appliance. You can also enable remote console access so that you can use the CLI over a network connection. For information, see Restricting GUI/API Access.
- Advantage: You do not need to change the IP address of the management system to connect to the NIOS appliance.
- Method 3 – - Using the Infoblox NIOS Startup Wizard
- Requirements: An HTTPS connection from your management system to the LAN1 port on the NIOS appliance.
- Advantage: The wizard provides step-by-step guidance for changing not only the IP settings for the LAN1 port, but also changing the appliance host name and admin password, setting the system clock, and—if using NTP (Network Time Protocol)—enabling the NIOS appliance to be an NTP client.
