Appendix C Guidance Documentation Supplement for Common Criteria

Common Criteria provides an independent and objective evaluation of the security of Information Technology (IT) products. It gives assurance that the product satisfies a set of internationally recognized security standards.

This document provides additional guidance on the secure installation of the Target of Evaluation (TOE) for Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 2. The TOE includes the following Infoblox appliances: Trinzic 825, 1425, 2225, and 4015 with NIOS version 8.2, which are network appliances that provide delivery of IP network services and management, Grid and HA configuration.

To ensure that your appliance is Common Criteria compliant, make sure that your hardware and software settings match the evaluated configuration that was certified for Common Criteria.

This document provides clarifications and changes to the Infoblox Administrator Guide and Infoblox CLI Guide, and should be used as the guiding document for installation of the TOE in the Common Criteria evaluated configuration.
