What is the default Grid Name and Shared Secret?

• A. Grid Name: Infoblox; Shared Secret: test
• B. Grid Name: Infoblox; Shared Secret: secret
• C. Grid Name: GridOne; Shared Secret: test
• D. Grid Name: Infogrid; Shared Secret: test

Answer: (A)

Understanding how an Infoblox Grid is identified and secured is essential. The Grid Name is the primary label that identifies the entire Grid within an environment, and in typical setup scenarios it is set to Infoblox. The Shared Secret is the password used when new members join the Grid, providing authentication so only authorized devices can connect; in common lab or training environments this secret is often set to test for simplicity. Because of that, the combination Grid Name Infoblox with Shared Secret test reflects the usual default configuration you’ll encounter in many docs and practice labs. The other options change either the grid name or the secret, which is why they don’t represent the default setup. In production, you should replace the default secret with a strong, unique value.
