Citrix NetScaler Hardware Installation and Setup Guide

Alternatively, restarting the appliance automatically releases the DHCP IP address back to the server pool.

You can find out the SNIP address assigned to the appliance from the NetScaler console or from the DHCP server.

To find the SNIP address from the NetScaler console

At the console prompt, type:

> sh dhcpParams

DHCP Client on next reboot is ON DHCP Client Current State: Active DHCP Client Default route save: OFF DHCP acquired IP:192.168.2.127 DHCP acquired Netmask:255.255.255.0 DHCP acquired Gateway:192.168.2.1 Done

To find the SNIP address from the DHCP server

Look in the dhcpd.leases file for the last entry with the sysid of your appliance in the uid or client-hostname field.

Example: The following entry in a DHCP server's dhcpd.leases file verifies the binding state of the appliance whose sysid is 45eae1a8157e89b9314f.

lease 192.168.2.127 {

starts 3 2013/08/19 00:40:37; ends 3 2013/08/19 06:40:37; cltt 3 2013/08/19 00:40:37; binding state active;

next binding state free;

hardware ethernet 00:d0:68:11:f4:d6; uid "45eae1a8157e89b9314f"; client-hostname "45eae1a8157e89b9314f";

In the above example, the binding state is ACTIVE and the IP address assigned to the appliance is 192.168.2.127.
