Chapter 16. Managing Networks and Traffic

gateway to avoid IP conflicts. If Source NAT is enabled, the guest VMs in VPC reaches the enterprise network via private gateway IP address by using the NAT service.

The Source NAT service on a private gateway can be enabled while adding the private gateway. On deletion of a private gateway, source NAT rules specific to the private gateway are deleted.

To enable source NAT on existing private gateways, delete them and create afresh with source NAT.

16.27.5.2. ACL on Private Gateway

The traffic on the VPC private gateway is controlled by creating both ingress and egress network ACL rules. The ACLs contains both allow and deny rules. As per the rule, all the ingress traffic to the private gateway interface and all the egress traffic out from the private gateway interface are blocked.

You can change this default behaviour while creating a private gateway. Alternatively, you can do the following:

1.In a VPC, identify the Private Gateway you want to work with.

2.In the Private Gateway page, do either of the following:

•Use the Quickview. See 3.

•Use the Details tab. See 4 through .

3.In the Quickview of the selected Private Gateway, click Replace ACL, select the ACL rule, then click OK

4.Click the IP address of the Private Gateway you want to work with.

5.

In the Detail tab, click the Replace ACL button.

The Replace ACL dialog is displayed.

6.select the ACL rule, then click OK.

Wait for few seconds. You can see that the new ACL rule is displayed in the Details page.

16.27.5.3. Creating a Static Route

CloudPlatform enables you to specify routing for the VPN connection you create. You can enter one or CIDR addresses to indicate which traffic is to be routed back to the gateway.

1.In a VPC, identify the Private Gateway you want to work with.

2.In the Private Gateway page, click the IP address of the Private Gateway you want to work with.

3.Select the Static Routes tab.

4.Specify the CIDR of destination network.

5.Click Add.

Wait for few seconds until the new route is created.

4.2 specifications

Citrix Systems, a leading provider of virtualization solutions and cloud computing technologies, released version 4.2 of its popular software, Citrix XenApp, which was previously known as Presentation Server. This version marked a significant evolution in providing users with remote access to applications and desktops, emphasizing simplicity, performance, and security.

One of the standout features of Citrix XenApp 4.2 is its improved application streaming capabilities. This technology allows applications to be delivered to users in real-time, reducing the need for extensive local installations and enhancing the user experience. With application streaming, administrators can efficiently manage applications on a central server while ensuring that users have immediate access to the necessary tools.

Another highlight of this version is the enhanced security measures put in place to protect sensitive data. Citrix XenApp 4.2 includes support for SSL encryption, providing a secure communication channel for data transmitted between the server and clients. This is particularly crucial for businesses that need to comply with strict data protection regulations. Additionally, the integration of endpoint security features ensures that unauthorized access to applications is minimized.

Performance enhancements are also a critical focus in this release. Citrix optimized the delivery of applications over various network conditions, ensuring that users experience minimal latency regardless of their location. This was achieved through the incorporation of SmartAccess and SmartControl technologies, which allow administrators to set policies based on user roles, device types, and network conditions. This level of granularity enables organization-wide security without compromising on usability.

The user experience was further improved with a revamped interface, making it easier for end-users to access their applications and data. Simplified menus, clear navigation paths, and the ability to customize user settings contributed to a more efficient workflow, allowing users to focus on their tasks rather than struggling with the software.

Finally, Citrix XenApp 4.2 was designed to be highly scalable. Organizations of all sizes could deploy this solution to deliver applications efficiently, adapting to their specific needs as their user base grows or changes. This flexibility is crucial for businesses looking to future-proof their IT investments while maintaining optimal performance.

In summary, Citrix XenApp 4.2 stands out with its enhanced application streaming, robust security features, improved performance under varying conditions, user-friendly interface, and scalability, making it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to leverage virtualization for remote access to applications and desktops.
