Cabling the Appliance to a Network

Use one or more Category 5/6 Ethernet cables to connect the PT-4000 appliance to the network.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN1 port on the PT-4000 to the network switch or router, as indicated in Figure 10.
2. Use the Infoblox GUI to access the Infoblox appliance from a management system. Through the Infoblox GUI, you can set up and administer the appliance. For management system requirements and access instructions, see Accessing the Appliance .

Note: Infoblox appliances automatically negotiate the optimal connection speed and transmission type (full or half duplex) on the physical links between its LAN1, LAN2 and MGMT ports and the Ethernet ports on a connecting switch. If the two appliances fail to auto-negotiate the optimal settings, see the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide for steps to resolve the problem.
