Introduction
10 Gigabit Ethernet Support

To ensure connectivity to 10 Gigabit networking infrastructure, Infoblox offers versions of the TR-1400 (Trinzic
Reporting appliance) providing three active 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces accepting SFP+ transceiver
modules for 10GbE RJ-45 copper or for 10GbE optical connectivity. An example with fiber transceivers is shown in
Figure 4.

Infoblox also offers versions of the TR-1400 appliance providing three active 1-Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) interfaces
that accept SFP transceiver modules for 1GbE optical connectivity.
In select configurations for the Trinzic Reporting 1400, the Infoblox 1GbE SFP or 10GbE SFP+ ports replace the
functionality in the original system MGMT, LAN1, and LAN2 ports, thereby disabling the built-in MGMT, LAN1, 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.
You may mix media types in the set of ports (e.g., copper interfaces and fiber interfaces).
SFP and SFP+ transceivers may be used in a mixed configuration in the 10GbE system. One possible use case
involves installing 10GbE SR SFP+ transceivers in the LAN1 and LAN2 ports for the Trinzic Reporting 1400 appliance,
and installing a 1GbE SFP copper transceiver in the MGMT interface.
See the section Replaceable Units and SFPs, for specific information on part numbers, availability, and device
compatibility.

LCD
The Infoblox appliance has an LCD and navigation buttons on its front panel. At startup, the Infoblox logo appears
in the LCD on the front panel of the appliance. Then the LCD scrolls repeatedly through a series of display screens.
1.
To change the network settings from the default, press one of the navigation buttons.
The LCD immediately goes into input mode.
2.
Use the navigation buttons to enter the IP address, netmask, and gateway for the LAN1 port.
You can disable LCD input functionality. To disable the LCD, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide.
Console Port
The Infoblox appliance has a male DB-9 console port on the front panel. You can log in to the appliance through this
port and specify initial network settings using the Infoblox CLI.
Note: Only a properly grounded USB-to-Serial dongle is allowed to connect to the serial console port. If the dongle
is connected to a laptop, this laptop must be grounded properly as well. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the serial console port of the Infoblox appliance. Infoblox is not responsible for such damage.
1.
Connect a console cable from the console port of the management system to the console port of the Infoblox
appliance.
2.
Using a serial terminal emulation program such as Hilgraeve Hyperterminal (provided with Windows
operating systems), launch a session. The connection settings are:
Bits per second: 9600
Stop bits: 1
Data bits: 8
Flow control: Xon/Xoff
Parity: None
3.
Log in using the default user name and password admin and infoblox. User names and passwords are
case-sensitive.
4.
To change the network settings from the default, enter the set network command. Then enter information
as prompted to change the IP address, netmask, and gateway for the LAN1 port.

Specifying Appliance Settings
Specifying Appliance Settings

When you make the initial HTTPS connection to the Infoblox appliance, you see the Setup Wizard, which
guides you through the basic deployment of the appliance on your network.
A Grid is a group of two or more Infoblox appliances that share sections of a common, distributed, built-in
database and which you configure and monitor through a single, secure point of accessthe Grid Master. To
set up a Grid, you must configure a single or HA Grid Master and at least one Grid member, which can also be
a single appliance or an HA pair.
Note: Even though you configure the reporting appliance as a Grid member, you cannot configure it as an HA
pair in the Grid.
The following instructions guide you through the wizard and include worksheets where you can note your
appliance and network settings. After you complete the wizard for the reporting appliance, you can configure
the Grid members to transmit data to the reporting appliance. The Trinzic Reporting 1400 appliance comes
with the Reporting license installed. You are not required to install the reporting license on the Trinzic
Reporting 1400 appliance. However, reporting service on the Grid is disabled by default. You must enable
reporting service on the Grid (for all members) or on individual Grid members so that data is transmitted to
the Trinzic reporting appliance. For information about how to configure Grid reporting properties and enable
reporting service, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide.
1.
Open an Internet browser window and enter https://<IP address or hostname of your reporting appliance>.
2.
Accept the certificate when prompted.

A certificate warning appears during the login process. This is normal because the NIOS appliance generates
a self-signed certificate when it first starts, and your browser does not have a trusted CA certificate or a
cached NIOS appliance server certificate (saved from an earlier connection) to authenticate the NIOS
appliance certificate. Also, the hostname in the default certificate is www.infoblox.com, which is unlikely to
match the hostname of your NIOS appliance. Consequently, messages appear warning that the certificate is
not from a trusted certifying authority and that the hostname on the certificate is either invalid or does not
match the name of the site that sent the certificate. Either accept the certificate just for this session or save it
to the certificate store of your browser.
To eliminate the certificate warning, generate a new self-signed certificate or import a third-party certificate
with a common name that matches the FQDN (fully-qualified domain name) of the appliance. This is a very
simple process. For information about certificates, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide.
3.
Log in using the default user name and password admin and infoblox.
Note: User names and passwords are case-sensitive.
4.
Read the Infoblox End-User License Agreement and click I Accept to proceed.
5.
The Setup Wizard opens, and you can enter basic network and deployment settings.
Determine how you want to deploy the appliance, and then use the following worksheets to note the network
settings that you want to enter on the wizard screens.

Infoblox CLI
The Infoblox CLI allows you to configure and monitor the appliance using a small set of Infoblox commands. There
are some tasks, such as resetting the appliance, that you can only do through the CLI. You can access the Infoblox
CLI through a direct console connection from your management system to the Infoblox appliance. (For more
information, see Console Port on page 18.) You can also enable remote console accessthat is, SSHv2 (Secure Shell
version 2) accessthrough the Infoblox GUI or CLI, and then access the CLI from a remote location using an SSHv2
client. (For more information, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide.)
Using CLI Help

You can display a list of available CLI commands by typing help at the command prompt. For example:
Infoblox > help

System Device Replacement

The Trinzic Reporting 1400 provides several replaceable units in the system:
Hard disk drives
AC power supplies
All replaceable units must be replaced with parts of the same specifications as described below. For parts and
replacements, contact your Infoblox field representative or Infoblox technical support.
Managing the Disk Subsystem

The Trinzic Reporting 1400 uses a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) 1 array to provide redundant data
storage with recovery features in the event of disk failures. The disk array is completely self managed. There are no
maintenance or special procedures required to service the disk subsystem.
RAID 1 uses two disk drives for mirroring so that each disk in the logical volume is fully redundant.
Figure 12 RAID 1 Array Configuration

Disk 1
Primary

Evaluating the Status of the Disk Subsystem

You can monitor the disk subsystem through the Infoblox GUI, the scrolling front panel LCD display, and the LEDs
next to the disk drives. In addition, you can monitor the disk status by using the CLI command show
hardware_status.
To see a detailed status report, log in to the Infoblox GUI and from the Grid tab, select the Grid Manager tab ->
Members tab -> reporting member, and then click the Detailed Status icon. (For more information about the Detailed
Status panel, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide.)
The color of the RAID icon indicates the status of the RAID array on the Trinzic Reporting 1400.
Color
Meaning
Green
The RAID array is in an optimal state.

System Device Replacement
Color
Meaning
Yellow
A new disk was inserted and the RAID array is rebuilding.
Red
The RAID array is degraded. At least one disk is not functioning properly. The GUI lists the disks
that are online. Replace only the disk that is offline.
In the event of a disk failure, you must replace the failed disk with one that is qualified and shipped from Infoblox
and has the same disk type as the other disk in the array. The appliance displays information about mismatched
disks in the Detailed Status panel. The disk type must be an IB-Type 5.
Hard Disk Drive Replacement

Use the following procedure to remove a spinning disk:
1. Power down the appliance before replacing the hard disk drive.
2. Press the release button to unlatch the disk.
3. Use the catch-release lever to pull the disk about two cm (one inch) to disengage contact, as indicated in
Figure 13.

24
Remove the disk, extract it from its carrier and handle it with care. Do not drop the disk or ship it loosely
in a carton.
Securely mount the replacement disk in the drive carrier and replace the carrier in the system.
Changing AC Power Supplies
Note: IP settings and basic network configurations, such as the gateway address, netmask, Grid secret and
Grid name, are saved and restored when you replace a failed disk drive.

Note: Before changing the power supply, make sure it is securely cabled. An apparently failed power supply may
simply be improperly connected to its power source.
The Trinzic Reporting 1400 ships with one AC power supply. When the power supply fails for any reason, the
Infoblox GUI displays a power supply alarm. The Grid Status widget on the Dashboard of the GUI also displays an
error. The appliance sends an email notification and reports an SNMP trap. Figure 14 illustrates the process of
replacing an AC power supply.
Each power supply weighs about one pound (0.454 kg). The faceplate of the power supply contains a power LED and
a power switch. Each AC power supply provides a dedicated power outlet.
Note: If your appliance comes with one power supply and an empty module, ensure that the power supply is in the
PSU #1 slot and the empty module in the #2 slot. You cannot switch them.
Figure 14 Removing a Trinzic Reporting 1400 AC Power Supply

25
To replace the Trinzic Reporting 1400 AC power supply, do the following:

1. Turn off the power supply.
2. Disconnect the AC power cable from the power outlet.
3. Gently press the black catch-release lever toward the handle, grip the power supply handle, and pull the
power supply unit out of the chassis as illustrated in Figure 14.
4. Place the replacement power supply into the bay and push it forward until it is fully seated in the chassis.
The catch-release lever will gently click into place.
5. Reconnect the power cable.
6. Turn on the power supply. If it is fully seated, powered on, and operating properly, the LED glows steady
green.
You can order an additional power supply to set up a redundant 1+1 configuration, as shown in Figure 15. The
power supplies are hot-swappable, so you can remove or replace one power supply without interrupting
appliance operation and network services.
When the appliance contains two functioning power supplies, they share the power load. If one power supply fails,
the other assumes the full load automatically and the appliance sends a system alarm. This configuration
minimizes the chance of system failure due to failure of an individual power supply.
