2.NSIP address

3.Gateway

The subnet mask, NSIP, and gateway values are saved in the configuration file. You can then use the NSIP to connect to the appliance remotely. For more information, see "Hardware Installation."

Note: For information about deploying a high availability (HA) pair, see "Configuring High Availability."

Changing the Administrative Password

The default user account is the administrative account, which provides complete access to all features of the Citrix NetScaler appliance. Therefore, to preserve security, the administrative account should be used only when necessary, and only individuals whose duties require full access should know the password for the administrative account. Citrix recommends changing the administrative password frequently.

In the configuration utility, you type the password. In the NetScaler command line, you are prompted to enter the password.

To change the administrative password by using the NetScaler configuration utility

1.On the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, expand System, and then click Users.

2.In the Users pane, click the default user account, and then click Change Password.

3.In the Change Password dialog box, in Password and Confirm Password, type the password of your choice.

4.Click OK.

To change the administrative password by using the NetScaler command line

At the NetScaler command prompt, type: set system user <userName> {-password }

Configuring the LOM Port

For initial configuration of the lights-out management (LOM) port, connect to the port's default IP address and change it to the address that you want to use for remote monitoring and management. Also specify the administrator credentials and the network settings.
