Topology Requirements
173
• IP Address: The IP address of the NetScaler.
• Username/Password: The authentication credentials to access the device. CloudPlatform uses
these credentials to access the device.
• Type: The type of device that is being added. It could be NetScaler VPX, NetScaler MPX, or
NetScaler SDX. For a comparison of the NetScaler types, see the CloudPlatform Administration
Guide.
• Public interface: Interface of device that is configured to be part of the public network.
• Private interface: Interface of device that is configured to be part of the private network.
• Number of retries. Number of times to attempt a command on the device before considering the
operation failed. Default is 2.
• Capacity: The number of networks the device can handle.
• Dedicated: When marked as dedicated, this device will be dedicated to a single network. When
Dedicated is checked, the value in the Capacity field has no significance implicitly, its value is 1.
• GSLB service: (Optional) Select this option if you want to enable GSLB. See Global Server
Load Balancing in the Administration Guide.
• GSLB service Public IP: The public IP address of the NAT translator for a GSLB service that is
on a private network.
• GSLB service Private IP: The private IP of the GSLB service.
13. Click OK.
The installation and provisioning of the external load balancer is finished. You can proceed to add
VMs and NAT or load balancing rules.
14.7. Topology Requirements
14.7.1. Security Requirements
The public Internet must not be able to access port 8096 or port 8250 on the Management Server.
14.7.2. Runtime Internal Communications Requirements
• The Management Servers communicate with each other to coordinate tasks. This communication
uses TCP on ports 8250 and 9090.
• The console proxy VMs connect to all hosts in the zone over the management traffic network.
Therefore the management traffic network of any given pod in the zone must have connectivity to
the management traffic network of all other pods in the zone.
• The secondary storage VMs and console proxy VMs connect to the Management Server on
port 8250. If you are using multiple Management Servers, the load balanced IP address of the
Management Servers on port 8250 must be reachable.
