To efficiently handle protocol service traffic, utilize service instances to associate your services with particular network interfaces.

When setting up a protocol service, you choose a NIOS-X server on which you want to run the service. You can reassign or transfer the service to another NIOS-X server after you set up the service. This feature is useful if you need to update your network infrastructure or decommission a particular server.

Use the following steps to create these protocol services: Data Connector, DHCP, and DNS. For other protocol services, refer to their respective documentation.

The interface binding feature is currently unavailable for the NIOS Grid Connector service. The Create <Service> wizard will guide you through the applicable steps when creating a service.

To create a supported service instance, do the following:

  1. Log in to the Infoblox Portal.

  2. Go to Configure > Service Deployment > Protocol Service.

  3. Click Create Service.

  4. From the drop down menu, select the protocol service you want to create.

  5. In the Create <Service> wizard, follow the steps in the wizard to create the service.
