Assign a port range to the NetScaler appliance

Sharing of the client IP address may create a conflict that makes network devices, such as routers, cache servers, origin servers, and other NetScaler appliances, unable to determine the appliance, and therefore the client, to which the response should be sent.

A method to solve this problem is to assign a source port range to the NetScaler appliance. This allotment enables network devices to unambiguously identify the NetScaler appliance that sent the request.

Assign a source port range to a NetScaler appliance by using the CLI

At the command prompt, type:

set ns param -crPortRange <startPortNumber-endPortNumber>
