The management system is a computer from which you configure and monitor the Infoblox appliance. You can remotely access the appliance from the management system across an Ethernet network, or directly through a serial cable. After completing the steps in Cabling the Appliance to a Network, you can open an HTTPS connection to the appliance and access the Infoblox Grid Manager using a supported Web browser. You must install and enable Javascript for the Grid Manager to function properly.
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. Infoblox recommends that the management system meet the following requirements to operate an Infoblox appliance.
