Figure 12 Cabling a Single Appliance to a Network

Note: By default, an Infoblox appliance automatically negotiates 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 appliance fail to auto-negotiate the optimal settings, see the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide for steps you can take to resolve the problem.

2. Use the Infoblox GUI to access the Infoblox appliance from a management system. Through the GUI, you can set up and administer the appliance. For management system requirements and access instructions, see Accessing the Appliance.
