NetScaler

This page is under Construction

Basics

• A Netscaler is deployed in front of Server farm & functions as a Transparent Proxy between Client & server without requiring any client-side Configuration.

#ship
#show connectiontable

#config ns
OR
#set ns config -Ipaddress <IP> -netmask <mask>

#add ns ip <IP> <subnet mask> -mgmtAccess [Enabled|Disabled] -type MIP

• Adding Virtual Server automatically creates a VIP
• VLAN tagging does not propagate in NS HA Pairs
• Can create null routes to prevent routing loops

• 2 interfaces should not be plugged into same port or vlan unless using link aggregation

• No IP to Interface mapping => Floating IP config
• Why? In HA, when Primary failes, secondary takes over, no loss of Service.

• When the Backend Application expects request for a specific Hostname or redirect you to that hostname, Netscaler should be configured as below:

- Configure the VIP for the same Hostname
- Use URL Transformation to achieve the same

Integrating with SAML Server

You need to have a SAML Server to achieve below setups:
