Once you have completed provisioning the new member in the Grid, you can use the CLI to join the member.

1. Log back into your vNIOS for OCI instance using the console connection as previously described.
2. Enter the command **set membership**.
3. Enter the private or public IP address of your Grid Master, depending on the type of networking used for Grid communication.
4. Enter the Grid name (default is **Infoblox**).
5. Enter the Grid shared secret (default is **test**).
6. Enter **Y** to confirm (you will be prompted twice).

7. The instance will restart and attempt to contact the Grid Master. You can watch progress in the console or in Grid Manager.
8. Once the member successfully joins the Grid, It will show as Running in Grid Manager.

9. Once the member shows as Running, you can configure services as desired. Refer to [https://docs.infoblox.com](https://docs.infoblox.com) for information on configuring members and services.
