To configure a switch that is a vPC peer in a direct mode deployment, see the "Configuring RISE in a vPC
Mode Deployment" section.
Before You Begin
• To enable auto-discovery of the appliance by the switches, use the no shutdown command to ensure
• Interconnect the ports on the appliance with the standalone or port channel of the switch.
• Ensure that all of the switch ports to which the appliance is connected are dedicated to the appliance.
• Make sure that you are in the correct VDC on the Cisco Nexus switch. To switch VDCs, use the switchto

vdc command.
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Enables the RISE feature on the Cisco Nexus Series switch.
Creates a VLAN group for the NetScaler appliance data VLANs on the Cisco Nexus
Series switch.
The range for the VLAN group is from 1 to 32, and the range for the configured VLANs
is from 1 to 3967. You can enter the vlan-range using a comma (,), a dash (-), and the
numbers.
Creates a RISE service instance, enters the RISE configuration mode on the Cisco
Nexus Series switch, and specifies that the appliance is directly connected to the switch
in order to establish RISE connectivity.
You can enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters for the name of the RISE service
instance.
Assigns a VLAN to the Netscaler Application Delivery Controller (ADC) appliance
that is directly connected to the Cisco Nexus Series switch.
• The range is from 1 to 4094.
• This VLAN controls message communication with the supervisor over the RISE
port channel. The same VLAN can be used for the Netscaler Application Delivery
Controller (ADC) appliance management VLAN.
• The VLAN ID and SVI interface must be created before the RISE channel can
be established. The IP address of the SVI interface is the supervisor IP address
for Cisco Netscaler Application Delivery Controller (ADC) appliance to
communicate with and send the control messages.
