Arguments

IPAddress

IPv4 address to create on the NetScaler appliance. Cannot be changed after the IP address is created.

netmask

Subnet mask associated with the IP address.

type

Type of the IP address to create on the NetScaler appliance. Cannot be changed after the IP address is created. The following are the different types of NetScaler owned IP addresses:

  • A Subnet IP (SNIP) address is used by the NetScaler ADC to communicate with the servers. The NetScaler also uses the subnet IP address when generating its own packets, such as packets related to dynamic routing protocols, or to send monitor probes to check the health of the servers.

  • A Virtual IP (VIP) address is the IP address associated with a virtual server. It is the IP address to which clients connect. An appliance managing a wide range of traffic may have many VIPs configured. Some of the attributes of the VIP address are customized to meet the requirements of the virtual server.

  • A GSLB site IP (GSLBIP) address is associated with a GSLB site. It is not mandatory to specify a GSLBIP address when you initially configure the NetScaler appliance. A GSLBIP address is used only when you create a GSLB site.

  • A Cluster IP (CLIP) address is the management address of the cluster. All cluster configurations must be performed by accessing the cluster through this IP address.
