Managing Interfaces
Jun 30 , 2015
In the management service's Interfaces pane, in addition to configuring transmission settings for each interface, you can
display the mapping of the virtual interfaces on the VPX instances to the NetScaler SDX appliance, and assign MAC
addresses to interfaces.
Note: Autonegotiation is not supported on an interface to which a direct attach cable (DAC) is connected.
In the list of Interfaces in the Interfaces pane, in the State column, UP indicates that the interface is receiving traffic
normally. DOWN indicates a network issue because of which the interface is unable to send or receive traffic.
To configure an interface
1. On the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, expand System, and then click Interfaces.
2. In the Interfaces pane, click the interface that you want to configure, and then click Edit.
3. In the Configure Interface window, specify values for the following parameters:
Auto-Negotiation*— Enable auto-negotiation. Possible values: ON, OFF. Default: ON.
Speed*— Ethernet speed for the interface, in Mb/s. Possible values: 10, 100, 1000, and 10000.
Duplex*— Type of duplex operation of the interface. Possible values: Full, Half, NONE. Default: NONE.
Flow Control Auto Negotiation*— Automatically negotiate flow control parameters. Possible values: ON, OFF.
Default: ON
Rx Flow Control*— Enable Rx flow. Possible values: ON, OFF. Default: ON
Tx Flow Control*— EnableTx flow control is enabled. Possible values: ON, OFF. Default: ON
* A required parameter
4. Click OK, and then click Close.
To reset the parameters of an interface to their default values
1. On the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, expand System, and then click Interfaces.
2. In the Interfaces pane, click the interface that you want to reset, and then click Reset.
Displaying the Mapping of Virtual Interfaces on the VPX Instance to the Physical Interfaces on the NetScaler
SDX Appliance
Updated: 2015-04-14
If you log on to the NetScaler virtual instance, the configuration utility and the command line interface display the mapping
of the virtual interfaces on the instance to the physical interfaces on the appliance.
After logging on to the NetScaler VPX instance, in the configuration utility, navigate to Network, and then click Interfaces.
The virtual interface number on the instance and the corresponding physical interface number on the appliance appear in
the Description field, as shown in the following figure:
In the NetScaler command line interface, type the show interface command. For example:
> show interface
1) Interface 10/3 (10G VF Interface, PF 10/4) #2
flags=0xe460 <ENABLED, UP, UP, HAMON, 802.1q>
MTU=1500, native vlan=1, MAC=6e:b6:f5:21:5d:db, uptime 43h03m35s
Actual: media FIBER, speed 10000, duplex FULL, fctl NONE, throughput 10000
RX: Pkts(2547925) Bytes(287996153) Errs(0) Drops(527183) Stalls(0)
