Guidance Documentation

Common Criteria provides an independent and objective evaluation of the security of Information Technology (IT) products. It gives assurance that the product satisfies a set of internationally recognized security standards.

This section provides additional guidance on the secure installation of the Target of Evaluation (TOE) for Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 2. The TOE includes the following Infoblox appliances: Trinzic 810, 820, 1410, 1420, 2210 and 2220; IB-4010, 4030 and 4040; PT-1400, 2200, 4000 and 4000-10GE; ND-800, 1400, 2200, and 4000 with NIOS version 7.1, which are network appliances that provide delivery of IP network services and management.

To ensure that your appliance is Common Criteria compliant, make sure that your hardware and software settings match the evaluated configuration that was certified for Common Criteria.

This section  provides clarifications and changes to the Infoblox Administrator Guide and Infoblox CLI Guide, and should be used as the guiding document for installation of the TOE in the Common Criteria evaluated configuration.

Note: Standalone NIOS appliance is the Common Criteria compliant configuration for the TOE, which does not support the Grid configuration.
