Configuring and Managing NetScaler Instances
Jan 31, 2011
After you have provisioned NetScaler instances on your appliance, you are ready to configure and manage the instances.
Begin by creating a subnet IP (SNIP) or mapped IP (MIP) address and then saving the configuration. You can then perform
basic management tasks on the instances. Check to see if you have to apply the administration configuration.
If a task that you need to perform is not described below, see the list of tasks at the left.
Creating a Mapped IP Address or a Subnet IP Address on a NetScaler Instance
You can assign mapped IP address (MIP) and subnet IP address (SNIP) to the NetScaler instances after they are provisioned
on the SDX appliance.
A SNIP is used in connection management and server monitoring. It is not mandatory to specify a SNIP when you initially
configure the NetScaler appliance. You can assign SNIP to the NetScaler instance from the Management Service.
A MIP is used for server-side connections. A MIP can be considered a default Subnet IP (SNIP) address, because MIPs are
used when a SNIP is not available or use SNIP (USNIP) mode is disabled. You can create or delete a MIP during runtime
without restarting the NetScaler instance.
To add a MIP or SNIP on a NetScaler instance
1. On the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, click NetScaler.
2. In the details pane, under NetScaler Configuration, click Create IP.
3. In the Create NetScaler IP dialog box, specify values for the following parameters.
IP Address*
Specify the IP address assigned as the SNIP or the MIP address.
Netmask*
Specify the subnet mask associated with the SNIP or MIP address.
Type*
Specify the type of IP address. Possible values: SNIP, MIP. Default value: SNIP.
Save Conf iguration*
Specify whether the configuration should be saved on the NetScaler. Default value is false.
Instance IP Address*
Specify the IP address of the NetScaler instance.
4. Click Create, and then click Close.
Saving the Configuration
You can save the running configuration of a NetScaler instance from the Management Service.
To save the configuration on a NetScaler instance
1. On the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, click NetScaler.
2. In the details pane, under NetScaler Configuration, click Save Configuration.
3. In the Save Configuration dialog box, in Instance IP Address, select the IP addresses of the NetScaler instances whose
configuration you want to save.
