Follow below steps to load balance citrix delivery controllers with netscaler: Make sure you have snip configured in netscaler. Create monitor using monitor type as citrix-xd-ddc. You can configure interval and time-out values if you need. Check validate credentials check box and enter your citrix site, service account credentials. Goto servers option and add all […]
Netscaler is an Application delivery controller which is used for Load balancing, Http compression, SSL Offloading(which is useful for web servers),content switching, application acceleration, application firewall and more. A NetScaler appliance is usually deployed in front of a server farm and functions as a transparent TCP proxy between clients and servers, without requiring any client-side […]
The OSI, or Open System Interconnection, model defines a networking framework for implementing protocols in seven layers. Control is passed from one layer to the next, starting at the application layer in one station, proceeding to the bottom layer, over the channel to the next station and back up the hierarchy. Easy Way to Remember […]
Hubs, switches, routers, and access points are all used to connect computers together on a network, but each of them has different capabilities. Hubs Hubs enable computers on a network to communicate. Each computer plugs into the hub with an Ethernet cable, and information sent from one computer to another passes through the hub. A […]
Netscaler is available in either a hardware or software based appliance. Hardware options, MPX and SDX include single and multi-tenant devices, in addition to FIPS compliant and high SSL throughput appliances. Software-based options, VPX and CPX include virtual hypervisor-based and containerized microservice offerings. MPX: Available in burst packs and pay-as-you go grow options. Supports more […]
Understanding NetScaler IP Addresses Basic Networking: Netscaler owned IP addresses: Netscaler IP (NSIP), MIP (Mapped IP), SNIP (Subnet IP), VIP (Virtual IP), GSLB site IP, Cluster IP. NetScaler IP (NSIP) address: The NSIP address (NetScaler IP Address) is the IP address which is used by the Administrator to manage and configure the NetScaler. It is […]
On older Netscaler appliances, the command to clear your Netscaler configuration and reset it to factory defaults used to be: clear config –c y But on newer devices, the command is: clear ns config level where level is one of the following: 1. basic – which clears everything except NSIP, MIPs, SNIPs, network settings, HA, […]
We have an article from citrix which explains how to configure netscaler gateway to use with storefront and xendesktop. Below are the steps given in article CTX200287. Network Diagram The NetScaler will use the following network addresses NetScaler IP Subnet IP Virtual IP 192.168.18.20 192.168.18.21 192.168.18.22 NetScaler Configuration This section assumes that you will be creating […]
You can configure a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent on the NetScaler SDX appliance to generate asynchronous events, which are called traps. The traps are generated whenever there are abnormal conditions on the NetScaler SDX appliance. The traps are then sent to a remote device called a trap listener, which signals the abnormal condition […]
An SSL bridge configured on the NetScaler appliance enables the appliance to bridge all secure traffic between the SSL client and the SSL server. The appliance does not offload or accelerate the bridged traffic, nor does it perform encryption or decryption. Only load balancing is done by the appliance. The SSL server must handle all […]
