Before enabling the NIOS Grid Connector service, you must establish connectivity between NIOS and the Infoblox Portal.

Important Note

Ensure that you prepare your environment and open all necessary ports for unrestricted connectivity between NIOS and the Infoblox Portal. For more information, see NIOS-X Server Connectivity and Service Requirements.

To establish connectivity between the Infoblox Portal and NIOS, complete the following:

Create a Join Token in the Infoblox Portal or use an existing one. For more information, see Configuring Join Tokens.
Copy the Join Token from the Infoblox Portal.
Sign in to NIOS.
Navigate to the Grid > Grid Manager.
Select a single device in NIOS. This device must be a Grid Manager, Grid Manager Candidate, or Standalone appliance. It is recommended to select the Grid Manager Candidate.
Click Edit.
Click CSP Config.
Configure the following in the Basic tab.
1. Join Token: Paste the Join Token you copied from the Infoblox Portal here.
2. CSP Resolver: Specify the IP address of the Infoblox Portal.
3. HTTPs Proxy: Specify the HTTPS proxy. If your network environment does not allow direct HTTP or HTTPS communication with the Internet through a firewall from a secure location in which the Grid Manager or standalone appliance resides, you can configure your appliance to use a proxy server. For more information, see Configuring Proxy Servers.
4. Click Save & Close.
From the Infoblox Portal, click Configure > Servers to enable the NIOS Grid Connector service. Note that the Grid Manager, Grid Manager Candidate, and standalone members from the NIOS Grid appear on the NIOS-X Servers page.

Before enabling the NIOS Grid Connector service, you must establish connectivity between NIOS and the Infoblox Portal.

Note

Configure CSP Config settings in Grid Member Properties tab in Grid Manager for the Grid Manager, Grid Manager Candidate, or Standalone appliance to show the particular device on the Manage > Infrastructure page in Infoblox Portal.

Do not configure CSP Config settings in the Grid Properties tab. Configuring CSP Config settings in the Grid Properties tab shows all the devices in the entire grid on the Manage > Infrastructure page in the Infoblox Portal.
