Citrix ADC MPX
Using DHCP when a configuration file is present
If you need to move a Citrix ADC appliance to a dierent subnet, you can use DHCP to access an ap‑
pliance that already has a configuration file. Before moving the appliance, enable its DHCP client
and save the configuration. As a result, when the appliance restarts, it automatically polls the DHCP
server for an IP address. Enable the DHCP client and save the configuration before shutting down
the appliance. If you did not enable, you need to connect to the appliance through the console and
dynamically run the DHCP client on the appliance. The DHCP server provides an IP address, a gate‑
way, and a subnet mask. You can use the IP address to access the appliance and configure the other
settings remotely.
If the DHCP client is enabled in the configuration file, disable it and then save the configuration file.
If the DHCP client is enabled, the appliance polls the DHCP server again for an IP address when it
restarts.
The CLI commands associated with each task are listed:
• To dynamically run the DHCP client to fetch an IP address from the DHCP server
set dhcpParams dhcpClient on
• To configure the DHCP client to run when the appliance restarts
set dhcpParams dhcpClient on
save config
• To prevent the DHCP client from running when the appliance restarts
set dhcpParams dhcpClient off
save config
Note: This command is required only if the ON setting was saved.
• To save the DHCP acquired route so that it is available when the appliance restarts
> set dhcpParams -dhcpclient on -saveroute on
> save config
• To prevent saving the DHCP acquired route (default behavior)
set dhcpParams -dhcpclient on -saveroute off
save config
Note: This command is required only if the ON setting was saved.
Access a Citrix ADC appliance by using SSH keys and no password
If you administer many Citrix ADC appliances, storing and looking up passwords for logging on to
individual appliances can be cumbersome. To avoid being prompted for passwords, you can set up
