Supportability matrix for Citrix ADC cluster
Clustering in the Citrix ADC appliance supports a wide-spread of features in Citrix ADC configurations.
The following table lists the NetScaler features and provides the supportability status across different NetScaler releases of cluster setups. The supportability status of some NetScaler features in a NetScaler BLX cluster is different than a NetScaler non-BLX (MPX, or VPX, SDX ADC) cluster.
Important
The “Node-level” entry in the table indicates that the feature is supported only on individual cluster nodes.
