Configure NetScaler BLX

NetScaler BLX can be configured in dedicated or shared network mode. Network mode of BLX defines whether the NIC ports of the Linux host are shared with other Linux applications running on the host.

  • Dedicated network mode - The NIC ports of the Linux host that are dedicated to BLX are not shared with other applications running on the Linux host. For information about configuring BLX in dedicated mode, see Configure BLX in dedicated mode.

  • Shared network mode - The NIC ports of the Linux host are shared with other Linux applications running on the Linux host. By default, BLX starts in shared mode if you do not configure BLX in dedicated mode.

    Note:

    We do not recommend configuring BLX in shared mode for production setups.
