Cabling the Appliance to a Network

1. Use a Category 5/6 Ethernet cable to connect the LAN1 port on the Trinzic 100 appliance to your network switch or router. (Category 5 cable supports up to 100 Mbps; Category 5e/6 supports up to 1Gbps operation.)
2. The Trinzic 100 appliance automatically negotiates the optimal connection speed and transmission type (full or half duplex) on the physical links between its LAN1 port and the Ethernet port on the switch or load balancer.

Note: If the appliance fails to auto-negotiate the optimal settings, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide for steps to resolve the problem.

    3. Use the Infoblox GUI to access the Infoblox appliance from the Grid Master. Through the GUI, you can set up and administer the appliance. For management system requirements and access instructions, see Accessing the Trinzic 100 Appliance.
