Deployment Worksheet
The appliance uses at least two ports: the management port (typically 0/1) and the traffic port (such as 10/1). You must select ports in advance, because the configuration depends on the identity of the ports.
The appliance uses three subnets directly: the management subnet, the external traffic subnet, and the internal traffic subnet. Multiple IP addresses are used on each subnet. Each subnet must be specified along with the correct subnet mask.
The following figure is a worksheet for these parameters. It supports inline and virtual inline modes, with and without high availability. The table below the figure describes what each entry means.
Deployment worksheet parameters
| Parameter | Example | Your Value | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management Subnet | ||||
| M2. | Gateway IP address | 10.199.79.254 | Default gateway serving the management subnet. | |
| M3. | Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.128 | Subnet mask for the management subnet. | |
| M4. | Xen Hypervisor IP address | 10.199.79.225 | IP address of Xen Hypervisor. | |
| M5. | Service VM IP address | 10.199.79.226 | IP address of Management Service VM, which controls configuration. | |
| M6. | Accelerator UI | 10.199.79.227 | Accelerator GUI, also called the Broker UI, which manages the instances as a unit. | |
| M7. | NetScaler Management IP address | 10.199.79.245 | IP address of the NetScaler instance’s GUI and CLI interfaces. | |
| External Traffic Subnet | ||||
| T1. | Router IP address | 172.17.17.1 | IP address of the first router on external traffic subnet. | |
| T2. | Router IP address | 172.17.18.1 | IP address of the second router on external traffic subnet. | |
| T3. | Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.0 | Subnet mask of external traffic subnet. | |
| T4. | Subnet IP address | 172.17.17.2 | Subnet IP address for NetScaler on external traffic subnet. | |
| T5. | Subnet IP address | 172.17.18.2 | Subnet IP address for NetScaler on external traffic subnet. | |
| T6. | External Signaling IP address | 172.17.17.10 | Traffic to this IP address is load-balanced between the signaling IP addresses of the accelerators. | |
| T7. | Local LAN Subnets | 10.200.0.0/16 | The local LAN subnet to be accelerated. This is the only subnet that receives acceleration. | |
| T8. | Traffic Port | 10/1 | Port used for accelerated traffic. | |
| T9. | Traffic Port | 10/6 | Port used for accelerated traffic. |
Note: Ports 10/3 and 10/4 are reserved for loopback cable. Do not configure these ports as traffic ports.
