Custom— SDX Administrator assigns a MAC address. The SDX administrator can use this setting to override the
generated MAC address.
Generated— Generate a MAC address by using the base MAC address set earlier. For information about setting a base
MAC address, see Assigning a MAC Address to an Interface.
MAC Address
Specify a MAC address that overrides the generated MAC address. Used with the Custom mode setting.
NSVLAN
A VLAN to which the subnet of the NetScaler management IP (NSIP) address is bound. The NSIP subnet is available only on
interfaces that are associated with the NSVLAN. Select this check box if your deployment requires that the NSIP not be
accessible through any interface other than the one you select in the VLAN Settings dialog box. This setting cannot be
changed after the NetScaler instance is provisioned.
Note:
HA heartbeats will be sent only on the interfaces that are part of the NSVLAN.
You can configure an NSVLAN only from VPX XVA build 9.3-53.4 and later.
Important: If NSVLAN is not selected, running the "clear config full" command on the VPX instance deletes the VLAN
configuration.
Tagged
Designate all interfaces associated with the VLAN as 802.1q tagged interfaces.
Note: If you select tagged, make sure that management interfaces 0/1 and 0/2 are not added.
Interfaces
Bind the selected interfaces to the VLAN.
To provision a NetScaler instance
1. On the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, expand NetScaler Configuration, and then click Instances.
2. In the NetScaler Instances pane, click Add.
3. In the Provision NetScaler Wizard follow the instructions on the screen.
4. Click Create, and then click Close. The provisioning progress and any failures, such as failure to assign a virtual function to
the VPX instance, are displayed.
To modify the values of the parameters of a provisioned NetScaler instance, in the NetScaler Instances pane, select the
instance that you want to modify, and then click Modify. In the Modify NetScaler Wizard, modify the parameters.
Note: If you modify the following parameters: number of SSL chips, interfaces, memory, and feature license, the
NetScaler instance implicitly stops and restarts to bring these parameters into effect.
You cannot modify the Image and User Name parameters.
If you want to remove a NetScaler instance provisioned on the SDX appliance, in the NetScaler Instances pane, select
the instance that you want to remove, and then click Delete. In the Confirm message box, click Yes to remove the
NetScaler instance.
Restricting VLANs to Specific Virtual Interfaces
The NetScaler SDX appliance administrator can enforce specific 802.1Q VLANs on the virtual interfaces associated with
NetScaler instances. This capability is especially helpful in restricting the usage of 802.1Q VLANs by the instance
administrators. If two instances belonging to two different companies are hosted on an SDX appliance, you can restrict
the two companies from using the same VLAN ID, so that one company does not see the other company's traffic. If an
instance administrator, while provisioning or modifying a VPX instance, tries to assign an interface to an 802.1Q VLAN, a
