Setting Up Connectivity
Connect the appliance to a management workstation or the network by using the
NetScaler configuration utility, the command-line interface (CLI), or the LCD keypad.
Configuration Utility Setup

workstation or laptop configured on the same network as the appliance. To run the
configuration utility, the Java RunTime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2_04 or later
must be installed on the workstation or laptop.

configured with the default IP address, when licenses are not installed on the
appliance, and when either the mapped IP address or subnet IP address is not
configured.
