Using the Netscaler GUI

The graphical user interface (GUI) includes a configuration utility and a statistical utility, called the Dashboard,
either of which you access through a workstation connected to an Ethernet port on the appliance. If your
computer does not have a supported Java plug-in installed, the utility prompts you to download and install
the plug-in the first time you log on. If automatic installation fails, you can install the plug-in separately before
you attempt to log on to the configuration utility or Dashboard.
Your workstation must have a supported web browser and version 1.6 or above of the Java applet plug-in
Note
installed to access the configuration utility and Dashboard.

Using the NetScaler Configuration Utility

After you log on to the configuration utility, you can configure the appliance through a graphical interface
that includes context-sensitive help.
If your computer does not have a supported Java plug-in installed, the first time you log on to the appliance,
the configuration utility prompts you to download and install the plug-in.
Before installing the Java 2 Runtime Environment, make sure that you have installed the full set of required
Note
operating system patches needed for the current Java release.
To log onto the configuration utility, follow these steps:
Step 1 Open your web browser and enter the NetScaler IP (NSIP) address as an HTTP address. If you have not set up the initial
configuration, enter the default NSIP address (http://192.168.100.1). The Citrix Logon page appears.
Note If you have two Citrix NetScaler appliances in a high availability setup, make sure that you do not access the
GUI by entering the IP address of the secondary Citrix NetScaler appliance. If you do so and use the GUI to
configure the secondary appliance, your configuration changes are not applied to the primary appliance.
Step 2
In the User Name text box, enter nsroot.
Step 3 In the Password text box, type the administrative password that you assigned to the nsroot account during the initial
configuration.
Step 4
For Deployment Type, choose NetScaler ADC.
Step 5 In the Start in list, click Configuration, and then click Login. The Configuration Utility page appears.
Note If your workstation does not already have a supported version of the Java runtime plug-in installed, the NetScaler
prompts you to download the Java Plug-in. After the download is complete, the configuration utility page
appears.
