Configure DTLS VPN virtual server using SSL VPN virtual server
You can configure a DTLS VPN virtual server for NetScaler using the same IP and port number of a configured SSL VPN virtual server. Configuring DTLS VPN virtual servers enables you to bind the advanced DTLS ciphers and certificates to the DTLS traffic for an enhanced security. Also, DTLS 1.2 protocol is supported in addition to the earlier supported DTLS 1.0 protocol.
Note: By default, the DTLS functionality is set to ON for the existing SSL VPN virtual server. You must disable the functionality for the server before creating the DTLS VPN virtual server.
