Configuring RISE

Using the Netscaler CLI

You can access the CLI either locally by connecting a workstation to the console port or remotely by connecting
through Secure Shell (SSH) from any workstation on the same network.
Note To access Citrix eDocs, see the Citrix eDocs listing page for NetScaler 10.1 at
proddocs/topic/netscaler/ns-gen-netscaler10-1-wrapper-con.html.
This section includes the following topics:

Logging onto the CLI Using the Console Port

The appliance has a console port for connecting to a computer workstation. To log on to the appliance, you
need a serial crossover cable and a workstation with a terminal emulation program.
To log onto the CLI through the console port, follow these steps:
Step 1
Connect the console port to a serial port on the workstation, as described in the Citrix eDoc, Connecting the Console
Cable.
Step 2 On the workstation, start HyperTerminal or any other terminal emulation program. If the logon prompt does not appear,
you might need to press Enter one or more times to display the prompt.
Step 3 Log on using the administrator credentials. The command prompt (>) is displayed on the workstation monitor.

Logging into the Appliance CLI Using SSH

The SSH protocol is the recommended remote access method for accessing the command-line interface (CLI)
of an appliance remotely from any workstation on the same network. You can use either SSH version 1 (SSH1)
or SSH version 2 (SSH2). To verify that the SSH client is installed properly, use it to connect to any device
on your network that accepts SSH connections.
To log onto the CLI using SSH, follow these steps:
Step 1 On your workstation, start the SSH client.
Step 2 For initial configuration, use the default NetScaler IP (NSIP) address, which is 192.168.100.1. For subsequent access,
use the NSIP that was assigned during initial configuration. Select either SSH1 or SSH2 as the protocol. For information
on initial configurations, see the Citrix eDoc,
the Citrix eDocs listing page for NetScaler 10.1 at
ns-gen-netscaler10-1-wrapper-con.html.
Step 3 Log on by using the administrator credentials. For initial configuration, use nsroot as both the username and password.
For example:
login as: nsroot
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
