Review network architecture and system configuration to ensure use of a defense-in-depth architecture that uses secure out-of-band management. Review system configuration to ensure all administrators are properly authorized for the functions allowed through system rights. Validate that both SRG and STIG DNS guidance is properly applied.

2. Select the "Services" tab.
3. Click on each service that is running and review the "Service Status" of each member.
4. Click on the member and select "Stop" to disable the unnecessary service.

Check Contents

Infoblox systems are secure by design and use a number of access controls to prevent unauthorized usage. Infoblox systems are purpose built and do not provide privileged "root" level access, nor are they distributed as general purpose operating systems. By default, all services including DNS are disabled on Infoblox systems. Services are enabled only as a result of administrator action.

1. Navigate to Grid >> Grid Manager >> Grid Properties, or System >> System Manager >> System Properties if using a stand-alone configuration.
