Migrate a configuration
1. On the old appliance, create a backup copy of the configuration file (ns.conf).
2. Use a vi editor to edit the configuration file that you backed up. For example, you might want
to change the user name, host name, and password.
Note: You must remove all interface-related configuration, such as set interface, bind vlan, add
channel, bind channel, and set channel.
3. Shut down the old appliance.
4. Perform initial configuration on the new appliance. Connect to the serial console, and at the
command prompt type config ns to run the Citrix ADC configuration script. Enter parameter
values, such as Citrix ADC IP address (NSIP) and subnet mask. For information about perform-
ing initial configuration by using the configuration utility (GUI) or the LCD keypad, see Initial
Configuration.
5. Restart the new appliance.
6. Add a route on the new appliance. At the command prompt, type: add route <network>
<netmask> <gateway>
7. Copy the edited configuration file to the new appliance.
8. Copy other relevant files, such as bookmarks, SSL certificates, and CRLs, to the new appliance.

10. Add interface-related configuration specific to your new appliance, switch, and router, and save
