Accessing the Trinzic 100 Appliance


After completing the steps in Cabling the Appliance to a Network, you can make 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 using a terminal emulation program. The management system is the computer from which you configure and monitor the Infoblox appliance. You can access the appliance from the management system remotely across an Ethernet network or directly through a serial cable.
The management system must meet the following requirements to operate an Infoblox appliance.
