Note: For a high availability setup (active-active or active-standby), Citrix recommends that you configure the two
NetScaler instances on different SDX appliances. Make sure that the instances in the setup have identical resources, such
as CPU, memory, interfaces, packets per second (PPS), and throughput.
Name*
The host name assigned to the NetScaler instance.
IP Address*
The NetScaler IP (NSIP) address at which you access a NetScaler instance for management purposes. A NetScaler instance
can have only one NSIP. You cannot remove an NSIP address.
Netmask*
The subnet mask associated with the NSIP address.
Gateway*
The default gateway that you must add on the NetScaler instance if you want access through SSH or the configuration
utility from an administrative workstation or laptop that is on a different network.
XVA File*
The .xva image file that you need to provision. T his file is required only when you add a NetScaler instance.
Feature License*
Specifies the license you have procured for the NetScaler. The license could be Standard, Enterprise, and Platinum.
Admin Prof ile*
The profile you want to attach to the NetScaler instance. This profile specifies the administrator (nsroot) user credentials
that are used by the Management Service to provision the NetScaler instance and later, to communicate with the instance
to retrieve configuration data. The user credentials used in this profile are also used while logging on to the NetScaler
instance by using the GUI or the CLI. It is recommended that you change the default password of the admin profile. This is
done by creating a new profile with a user-defined password. For more information, see Configuring Admin Profiles.
Description
Add a description or comments related to the administrator profile.
Total Memory (MB)*
The total memory allocated to the NetScaler instance.
#SSL chips*
Number of SSL chips assigned to the NetScaler instance. SSL chips cannot be shared. The instance is restarted if you
modify this value.
Throughput (Mbps)*
The total throughput allocated to the NetScaler instance. The total used throughput should be less than or equal to the
maximum throughput allocated in the SDX license. If the administrator has already allocated full throughput to multiple
instances, no further throughput can be assigned to any new instance.
Packets per second*
The maximum number of packets that the instance can receive per second.
CPU
Assign a dedicated core or cores to the instance, or the instance shares a core with other instance(s). If you select shared,
then one core is assigned to the instance but the core might be shared with other instances if there is a shortage of
resources.
Reboot af f ected Instances if CPU cores are reassigned
Restart the instances on which CPU cores are reassigned to avoid any performance degradation.
User Name*
