2.4.1 Initial Configuration of NetScaler 9000 System
This section describes how to configure and start a NetScaler 9000 system
when it is powered-on for the first time.
Note: After you configure the parameters in this section, you can continue
to configure the optional parameters as described in the section
“Configuring Optional Parameters” on page 36.
1. Configuring the Ethernet Parameters
In the NetScaler 9000 systems, the Ethernet parameters are configured
using the
set interface CLI command.
For setting the speed/duplex mode, enter the following CLI command:
set interface 1/1 -speed 1000 -duplex FULL RXTX
where 1/1 is the interface for which these settings apply. Actually, those
parameters cannot be set before the initial configuring is done.
Note:
Compare and confirm the interface settings with the port settings on
the switch. Be aware of correct setting of flow control parameters for
Gigabit Ethernet and always confirm the resulting settings after the
interface came up for the first time.
To compare the interface settings with the actual port settings, use the
show interface CLI command on the NetScaler 9x00 system.
This command displays the following information:
