Enable or disable a cache redirection virtual server

September 27, 2025

Contributed by:

When you create a cache redirection virtual server, it is enabled by default. If you disable a cache redirection virtual server, its state changes to OUT OF SERVICE and it stops redirecting cacheable client requests. However, the Citrix® ADC appliance continues to respond to ARP and ping requests for the IP address of this virtual server.

Enable or disable a cache redirection virtual server by using the CLI

At the command line, type one of the following commands:

-  enable cr vserver <name>
-  show cr vserver <name>
-  disable cr vserver <name>
-  show cr vserver <name>
<!--NeedCopy-->

Examples:

> enable cr vserver Vserver-CRD-1
 Done
> show cr vserver Vserver-CRD-1
        Vserver-CRD-1 (*:80) - HTTP     Type: CONTENT
        State: UP  ARP:DISABLED
        Client Idle Timeout: 180 sec
        Down state flush: ENABLED
        Disable Primary Vserver On Down : DISABLED
        Default:        Content Precedence: URL Cache: TRANSPARENT
        On Policy Match: ORIGIN L2Conn: OFF     OriginUSIP: OFF
        Redirect: POLICY        Reuse: ON       Via: ON ARP: OFF
