paper clip, to gently push the switch.
USB Port Reserved for future use.
Console Port A male DB-9 serial port for a console connection to change basic configuration settings and view system functions through the
CLI (command line interface).
:Caution Should you need to use a USB-to-Serial adapter to carry a serial connection over a USB port in a computer that lacks
a 9-pin serial interface, use a properly grounded USB-to-Serial dongle to connect to the serial console port. If the dongle
connects to a laptop, the 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.
MGMT Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port used for appliance management. You must use the MGMT port for initial appliance
setup and for primary system operation. The MGMT port may also be used for scan interface connections to managed
networks.
Infoblox recommends retaining the MGMT port exclusively for appliance management traffic.
LAN1 Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that is used for scan interface connections to managed networks. You can enable
the LAN1 port and define its use through the GUI after the initial setup. For related information, see Configuring Scan Interfaces
of the .Network Automation Administrator's Guide, Release 6.9
LAN2 Port A 10/100/1000-Mbps gigabit Ethernet port that is used for scan interface connections to managed networks. You can enable
the LAN2 port and define its use through the GUI after the initial setup. For related information, see Configuring Scan Interfaces
of the .Network Automation Administrator's Guide, Release 6.9
UID Button The unit identification button. When you press the UID button, the LCD panel on the front panel blinks and the UID LED on the
