Creating an Infoblox NIOS DDI
When creating a NIOS DDI, consider the following:
-
The March 2025 release only supports the Grid member role for vNIOS. Equinix and Infoblox do not support NIOS deployed as a Grid Manager. The Grid Manager role will be supported in a future release.
-
The Initial password used for console access provided by the user in the provisioning workflow is not encrypted. Once the Grid member registers to the Grid Manager, the original unencrypted password will be overwritten by an encrypted password configured on the Grid Manager
Connectivity Options
The default connectivity option for the device is Without Equinix Public IP Address. The option to have a VNF come up without a public IP address addresses the use case where the virtual device may need to be isolated from the Internet. You can then manage the devices from their private network or virtual connection.
No Global IP Address is assigned to the VNF. Once the vNIOS VNF is provisioned, the local IP address needs to be assigned to either LAN1 or MGMT interfaces to connect to the Grid Manager for registration.
