====== NIOS Grid Join ======
===== VPN Ports =====
Remember, the Grid Manager/Grid Manager Candidate and Grid Members need bi-directional access to each other.
  * UDP-2114 - Starts VPN tunnel creation
  * UDP-1194 - Actual VPN tunnel. Can be configured if needed.

===== MGMT Port =====
  * Create appliance
  * Boot appliance
  * Set LAN1
  * Connect to Web UI
  * Use web UI to set MGMT port
  * Appliance reboots
  * Use CLI to set membership
  * CLI wizard will ask if you want to use the MGMT port for Grid VPN.

===== Grid Join =====
We re-IP first and then join to Grid rather than joining to Grid as part of the re-IP. The reason for this is we have seen issues with re-IP AND Grid join where the box hung and needed console access + reset database to fix it.

The following example is when joinging an appliance that is to be a member of a HA pair. If memory serves correctly, the "hour" jump is actually the appliance adjusting to British Summer Time as it joins the Grid. The total join time was about 10 minutes (not 1 hour and 10 minutes).

<code>Infoblox > set membership
Join status: No previous attempt to join a grid.
 Enter New Grid Master VIP: 10.1.1.1
Enter Grid Name [Default Infoblox]:
Enter Grid Shared Secret: test
  Join grid as member with attributes:
     Grid Master VIP:     10.1.1.1
     Grid Name:           Infoblox
     Grid Shared Secret:  test

WARNING: Joining a grid will replace all the data on this node!
        Is this correct? (y or n): y
        Are you sure? (y or n): y
NOTE: This node will not become an active member of the ID grid
until it has been configured on the grid master.

Good Bye

===== Leave Grid =====
A very dirty way to leave a grid is <code>set nogrid</code> Don't use this in production.
