Product Overview

The Infoblox-4030 and Infoblox-4030-10GE are high performance network appliances for core network services, including DNS (Domain Name System) caching. You can configure and manage the Infoblox-4030 or Infoblox-4030-10GE through an Infoblox GUI that works seamlessly in Windows, Linux, and Mac environments using standard web browsers.
The Infoblox-4030 and Infoblox-4030-10GE appliances contain power supplies, fan modules, hard disk drives and network interfaces. They are Class A and Class B (with limits) digital appliances per FCC regulations. For the appliances to be NEBS Level 3 compliant, ensure that you do not install the optional front cover that ship with the appliance. For information about the front cover, see Hardware Components.
Basic features of the Infoblox-4030 and Infoblox-4030-10GE include the following:

• Support for all DNS caching, DNSSEC, Grid Management, and all administrative features for Infoblox DNS

Note: There are two versions of the Infoblox-4030 appliance: Rev-1 and Rev-2. Both versions support the same NIOS features. They are different in physical appearance and CPU speeds. This guide only contains information about the Infoblox-4030 Rev-2 appliance, referred to generically in this Guide as the Infoblox-4030. For information about the Infoblox-4030 Rev-1 appliance, refer to the Infoblox Installation Guide for the Infoblox-4030 Rev-1 Appliance.
Identify your Infoblox-4030 version by looking at its physical appearance and the serial number; Rev-2 appliance serial numbers begin with a 4835 prefix and Rev-1 appliance serial numbers begin with a 40 prefix.

Infoblox supports the previous Infoblox-4030 platform version, Rev-1, only with field-replaceable units (FRUs) and warranty replacements. Current Rev-2 platform FRUs, such as power supplies and fan units, are not compatible with Infoblox-4030 Rev-1 hardware and FRUs, and vice versa. Ensure that you use the correct FRUs for your Infoblox-4030 appliance. For information about FRUs, see Field Replaceable Units.
