Configuring Cisco RISE in a Direct Mode Deployment

In a direct mode deployment, the service appliance, such as Citrix Netscaler Application Delivery Controller
(ADC) appliance, is attached to a single Nexus Series switch. The switch can be standalone device or a VPC
peer (recommended deployment). The following figure shows the topology for a direct mode deployment for
a standalone Cisco Nexus switch.
Figure 6: Direct Connect Mode for the Appliance and a Standalone Switch
This task describes how to configure a standalone Cisco Nexus switch in a direct mode deployment. After
Note
configuring the Cisco Remote Integrated Services Engine (RISE) on the Cisco Nexus Series switch, the
appliance that is directly connected to the standalone switch is automatically configured for RISE mode
and all of its ports are in operation mode. No configuration is required on the appliance in a direct mode
deployment.
