Infoblox User Guide
You also have the option of using the Data Import Wizard for loading DNS and DHCP configurations and data. For
large data sets, this option is an efficient approach. To download the Data Import Wizard, visit
www.infoblox.com/support
, log in with your support account, and then click the
Data Import Wizard
hyperlink.
In this example, when you create the corp100.com forward-mapping zone, you import zone data for the existing
corp100.com zone from the legacy server at 10.1.4.11. When you create the 1.10.in-addr.arpa reverse-mapping
zone, you also import the zone records for the existing 1.10.in-addr.arpa zone from the legacy server. After the
device has both the forward- and reverse-mapping zone data, it converts the A and PTR records to Infoblox host
records.
