Prerequisites
To use DHCP, you must:
1. Note the system ID (sysid) on the serial number sticker on the back panel of the appliance.
On an older appliance, the system ID might not be available. In this case, use the MAC address
instead of the system ID.
2. Set up a DHCP server and configure it with the appliance vendor class identifier.
Configure a Linux/UNIX DHCP server for the Citrix ADC appliance
1. Specify “citrix-NS” as the vendor class identifier for the Citrix ADC appliance by adding the fol-
lowing configuration to the server’s dhcpd.conf file. The subclass declaration must be inside
the subnet declaration.

Note: The location of the dhcpd.conf file can be dierent in dierent versions and flavors of the
Linux/UNIX-based operating system. For example, in FreeBSD 6.3 the file is present in the /etc folder.
For the location, see the dhcpd manpage of the DHCP server.
1. If you do not want Citrix ADC appliances to use IP addresses from the general pool, specify a
pool of addresses for the appliance. Include this pool declaration inside the subnet declaration.
For example, adding the following configuration to the dhcpd.conf file specifies a pool of IP
addresses ranging from 192.168.2.120 to 192.168.2.127.
