How to configure Netscaler 10.5 - Initial Configuration

If we use Hardware box then we can directly jump into configuration part but if we use Virtual OVF templet them we need keep an eye during network card selection that which one we define for internal communication and which one we use for external. 

Initial configuration is very Simple just start the Netscaler and it will prompt for NSIP which stands for Netscaler IP and press enter the give the Netmask IP press enter and then give Gateway IP and press enter and it will ask for press 4 to save and close the configuration part for NSIP. 

Once done you can connect to netscaler using IP through console or web browser. In our case we connect via web browser and give ID\Password as "nsroot" (Default). 

After successful login you need to complete basic configuration as shown below,

Here Netscaler IP will automatically show as ip we gave during NSIP configuration. Here Subnet IP is stand for IP which would be used for DMZ communication or you can say for internal infrastructure communication. After this Netmask would be already in place so give external DNS IP for example 8.8.8.8 and then select timezone. Select Change Administrative password option and click continue.

On next page you will see it is asking for licence file upload so upload the same and wait for successful confirmation message of licence upload.Click continue and then click on done. Netscaler will reboot and basic configuration is done.
