In the following example, the instances are part of multiple networks. Interface 0/1 is assigned to the Management Service, which is part of the internal 10.1.1.x network. NetScaler instances 2 and 3 are part of the 10.1.200.x network (VLAN 100). NetScaler instances 4 and 5 are part of the 10.1.3.x network (VLAN 200).

Optionally, you can configure an NSVLAN on all the instances.

The following figure illustrates the preceding use case.

The SDX appliance is connected to a switch. Make sure that VLAN IDs 100 and 200 are configured on the switch port to which port 1/1 on the appliance is connected.
