Mount the appliance on a rack Most appliances can be installed in standard server racks that conform to the EIA-310-D specification. The appliances ship with a set of rails, which you must install before you mount the appliance. The only tools that you need for installing an appliance are a Phillips screwdriver and a flathead screw- driver.

Page 141 Citrix ADC MPX Citrix ADC appliances do not support transceivers from vendors other than Citrix Systems. At- tempting to install third-party transceivers on your Citrix ADC appliance voids the warranty. Do not install the transceivers with the cables attached. Doing so can damage the cable, the connector, or the optical interface of the transceiver.

Page 146 Using the first-time setup wizard To configure a Citrix ADC appliance (or Citrix ADC virtual appliance) for the first time, you need an administrative computer configured on the same network as the appliance. Assign a Citrix ADC IP (NSIP) address as the management IP address of your Citrix ADC appliance. You access the appliance for configuration, monitoring, and other management tasks at this address.
Page 147 The serial number bar code is available at the back of the appliance. Citrix recommends that you change the password after the first logon. For information about changing the password, see Change the administrative password.
Page 148 The subnet mask is associated with both the NSIP and default gateway IP address. The NSIP is the IPv4 address of the Citrix ADC appliance. The default gateway is the IPv4 address for the router, which handles the external IP traffic that the appliance cannot otherwise route. The NSIP ad- dress and the default gateway must be on the same subnet.

Page 150 To use DHCP, you must first specify the appliance vendor class identifier on a DHCP server. Optionally, you can also specify the pool of IP addresses from which your Citrix ADC appliance can acquire an IP address. If a pool is not specified, the address is acquired from the general pool.
Page 151 DHCP server. dhcpd manpage 1. If you do not want Citrix ADC appliances to use IP addresses from the general pool, specify a pool of addresses for the appliance. Include this pool declaration inside the subnet declaration. For example, adding the following configuration to the dhcpd.conf file specifies a pool of IP addresses ranging from 192.168.2.120 to 192.168.2.127.

Page 154 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 Citrix ADC console or from the DHCP server.
Page 155 Using DHCP when a configuration file is present If you need to move a Citrix ADC appliance to a different subnet, you can use DHCP to access an ap- pliance that already has a configuration file. Before moving the appliance, enable its DHCP client and save the configuration.
Page 156 Access a Citrix ADC appliance by using SSH keys and no password If you administer many Citrix ADC appliances, storing and looking up passwords for logging on to individual appliances can be cumbersome. To avoid being prompted for passwords, you can set up secure shell access with public key encryption on each appliance.
Page 157 4. Press ENTER two times when prompted for a passphrase. Note: If the client is a Citrix ADC appliance, move the private key file to a persistent location such as the subdirectories of the /flash and /var directories.
