ADC

Interfaces

Before you begin configuring interfaces, decide whether your configuration can use MAC-based forwarding mode, and either enable or disable this system setting accordingly. The number of interfaces in your configuration is different for the different models of the Citrix ADC appliance. In addition to configuring individual interfaces, you can logically group interfaces, using VLANs to restrict data flow within a set of interfaces, and you can aggregate links into channels. In a high availability setup, you can configure a virtual MAC address if necessary. If you use L2 mode, you might want to modify the aging of the bridge table.

When your configuration is complete, decide whether you should enable the system setting for path MTU discovery. Citrix ADC appliances can be deployed in active-active mode using VRRP. An active-active deployment, in addition to preventing downtime, makes efficient use of all the Citrix ADC appliances in the deployment. You can use the Network Visualizer tool to view the network configuration of a Citrix ADC deployment and configure interfaces, channels, VLANs, and bridge groups.
