10 Gigabit Ethernet Support
To ensure connectivity to 10 Gigabit networking infrastructure, Infoblox offers versions of the Network Insight ND-1400, TE-1410, TE-1420 and TR-1400 (Trinzic Reporting appliance) that provide four 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces accepting SFP+ transceiver modules for 10GbE RJ-45 copper or for 10GbE SFP+ optical connectivity. An example with fiber transceivers is shown in Figure 5.

Note: Infoblox also offers versions of the TE-1410, TE-1420, ND-1400 and TR-1400 (Trinzic Reporting appliance) that provide four 1-Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) interfaces, using SFP transceiver modules, for 1GbE optical connectivity.
In select configurations for the Trinzic 1400, the Infoblox 1GbE SFP or 10GbE SFP+ ports replace the functionality in the original system MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2 ports, thereby disabling the built-in MGMT, LAN1, HA and LAN2 ports. 10GbE support accepts Infoblox-provided SFP+ 10GbE Short Range and Long Range transceivers, Cisco SFP+ Direct Attach 10GSFP+Cu, or HP HPJ9283B SFP+ Direct Attach 10GSFP+Cu transceivers.
Note: For Network Insight ND-1400 appliances configured with 1GbE SFP or 10GbE SFP+ interfaces, the HA port is reserved for future use and cannot be used for network applications.
You may mix media types in the set of ports (e.g., two copper interfaces and two fiber interfaces).
SFP and SFP+ transceivers may be used in a mixed configuration in the 4-Port 10GbE appliance. One possible use case involves installing 10GbE SR SFP+ transceivers in the LAN1 and LAN2 ports for the Trinzic 1400 appliance, and installing 1GbE SFP copper transceivers in the MGMT and HA interfaces.
See the section Replaceable Units and SFPs, for specific information on part numbers, availability, and device compatibility.
Rear Panel
The rear panel components include the power connectors, hard disk drive, fans, air vent, and the UID LED, as shown in Figure 6.

Table 2 Rear Panel Components
Component | Description |
---|---|
Hard Disk Drive | One (1) Infoblox data storage device. |
Drive Indicators | LEDs that flash green to indicate the hard drive is processing data. |
Fans | A fan system (5 fans total) to help maintain optimum operating temperature. Do not obstruct. |
UID LED | Blue = UID is activated through pressing the UID button on the appliance Blinking Blue = UID is activated through the Infoblox GUI or CLI command Dark = UID is deactivated Note: When UID is activated, the LCD on the front panel blinks at the same time. |
Power Supply | Each power supply has a power outlet for connecting the appliance to a standard AC or DC (Direct Current) power source. |
Power LED | The power indicator is green if the power supply has power and is dark if it does not have power. |
Air Vent | An air vent that allows warm air to flow out of the appliance. Do not obstruct. |
