Use default StyleBooks
A set of default StyleBooks is provided along with NetScaler Console. When you use a default StyleBook, you have to specify values for the parameters in the StyleBook and select the IP addresses of the NetScaler instances where you want to run the configuration. After you submit the configuration, NetScaler Console validates the parameter values you have specified, creates a graph of the configuration, connects to the NetScaler instances, and runs the configuration on the instances.
