You have now completed initial configuration of your appliance.
Using DHCP for initial access
Note: The terms Citrix ADC appliance and appliance are used interchangeably.
For initial configuration of a Citrix ADC appliance, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can
eliminate dependency on the console by providing a subnet IP (SNIP) address at which you can access
the appliance to configure it remotely. You can also use DHCP after initial configuration if, for example,
you want to move a appliance to a different subnet.
To use DHCP, you must first specify the appliance vendor class identifier on a DHCP server. Optionally,
you can also specify the pool of IP addresses from which your Citrix ADC appliance can acquire an IP
address. If a pool is not specified, the address is acquired from the general pool.
A new Citrix ADC appliance does not have a configuration file. When you connect an appliance with-
out a configuration file to the network, its DHCP client automatically polls the DHCP server for an IP
address. If you have specified the appliance vendor class identifier on the DHCP server, the server
returns an address. You can also enable the DHCP client on a previously configured appliance.
Prerequisites
To use DHCP, you must:
1. Note the system ID (sysid) on the serial number sticker on the back panel of the appliance. On an
older appliance, the system ID may not be available. In this case, use the MAC address instead
of the system ID.
2. Set up a DHCP server and configure it with the appliance vendor class identifier.
Configure a Linux/UNIX DHCP server for the Citrix ADC appliance
1. Specify “citrix-NS” as the vendor class identifier for the Citrix ADC appliance by adding the fol-
lowing configuration to the server’s dhcpd.conf file. The subclass declaration must be inside
the subnet declaration.
