Citrix ADC field replaceable units (FRU) are ADC components that can be quickly and easily removed from the appliance and replaced by the user or a technician at the user’s site. The FRUs for a Citrix ADC appliance include DC or AC power supplies, solid-state or hard-disk drives, and a direct attach cable (DAC).
Page 93
Most Citrix ADC MPX platforms can accommodate two power supplies. Some platforms can accom- modate four power supplies. All Citrix ADC appliances function properly with a single power supply, except the appliances that can accommodate four power supplies. These appliances need two power supplies for proper operation.

Note Make sure that a power outlet is available for each cable. If the kit that you received does not fit your rack, contact your Citrix sales representative to order the appropriate kit. Transceiver modules are sold separately. Contact your Citrix sales representative to order transceiver modules for your appliance.
• Space requirements: One empty rack unit for the Citrix ADC MPX 5500, MPX 5550/5650, MPX 5901/5905/5910, MPX 7500/9500, T1010, MPX 8005/8015/8200/8400/8600/8800, and MPX 8905/8910/8920/8930 ap- pliances, and two consecutive empty rack units for all other appliance models.

You must assign a Citrix ADC IP (NSIP) address as the management IP address of your Citrix ADC appli- ance. This is the address at which you access the Citrix ADC for configuration, monitoring, and other management tasks.
Page 126
Citrix ADC MPX Note: The Citrix ADC software is preconfigured with this default IP address. If you have already assigned as NSIP address, type that address in a web browser. 2. In User Name and Password, type the administrator credentials. The following screen appears.
Page 127
The subnet mask is associated with both the NSIP and default gateway IP address. The NSIP is the IPv4 address of the Citrix ADC appliance. The default gateway is the IPv4 address for the router, which will handle external IP traffic that the Citrix ADC cannot otherwise route. The NSIP and the default gateway should be on the same subnet.
Page 128
Note: To prevent an attacker from breaching your ability to send packets to the appliance, choose a non-routable IP address on your organization’s LAN as your appliance IP address. You can replace steps 5 and 6 with the following Citrix ADC commands. At the Citrix ADC com- mand prompt, type: set ns config -ipaddress<IPAddress>...
Page 129
To use DHCP, you must first specify the appliance vendor class identifier on a DHCP server. Optionally, you can also specify the pool of IP addresses from which your Citrix ADC appliance can acquire an IP address. If a pool is not specified, the address is acquired from the general pool.
Page 130
For the location, see the dhcpd man page of the DHCP server. 1. If you do not want Citrix ADC appliances to use IP addresses from the general pool, specify a pool of addresses for the appliance. You must include this pool declaration inside the subnet declaration.
Page 131
1. Open Server Manager and make sure DHCP service is running. 2. Open DHCP Manager, click DHCP, and select IPv4. 3. To configure Vendor Class as “..citrix-Ns” right click on IPv4 and select Define Vendor Classes. Add a new class by specifying a display name, description, and “..citrix-NS” as the ASCII value .
Page 132
Alternatively, restarting the appliance automatically releases the DHCP IP address back to the server pool. You can find out the SNIP address assigned to the appliance from the Citrix ADC console or from the DHCP server.
Page 133
Using DHCP when a configuration file is present If you need to move a Citrix ADC appliance to a different subnet, such as from a testing environment to a production environment, you can use DHCP to access an appliance that already has a configura- tion file.
Page 134
Access a Citrix ADC appliance by using SSH keys and no password If you administer a large number of Citrix ADC appliances, storing and looking up passwords for log- ging on to individual appliances can be cumbersome. To avoid being prompted for passwords, you can set up secure shell access with public key encryption on each appliance.
Page 135
4. Press ENTER two times when prompted for a passphrase. Note: If the client is a Citrix ADC appliance, move the private key file to a persistent location such as sub-directories of the /flash and /var directories.
Page 136
Optionally, remove the public key. root@ns## rm id_rsa.pub 7. On the client, verify that you can connect to the remote Citrix ADC appliance by using SSH, with- out entering the password. If using the default file name for the public-private key pair.
Lights out management port of the Citrix ADC MPX appliance November 18, 2019 Some Citrix ADC appliances have an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), also known as the lights out management (LOM) port, on the front panel of the appliance.

‒ Obtain health monitoring information There are two ADC MIBs: the Citrix ADC software management MIB and the ADC IPMI LOM hardware management MIB. The software management MIB is primarily used for monitoring the application software and the application software’s utilization of hardware resources, such as CPU % and mem- ory %.
Page 141
LOM MIB monitors and reports the warnings. The LOM microcontroller operates independently of the Citrix ADC software. To monitor the hardware and software of the Citrix ADC appliance, you must use both the ADC MIB and the LOM MIB.
Page 142
View utility starts receiving alerts from the LOM, reconfigure the destination IP address to point to your SNMP Network Management Software, such as HP OpenView. Set up SNMP alerts on the LOM by using the Citrix ADC shell To customize your filter and policy settings, see the IPMI Specification 2.0 rev. 1.1 documentation.
Install a certificate and key on the LOM GUI November 18, 2019 Citrix recommends using HTTPS to access the LOM GUI. To use HTTPS, you must replace the default SSL certificate with one from a trusted certificate authority and upload a private key to the LOM GUI.
Upgrade the LOM firmware on a Citrix ADC MPX appliance November 14, 2019 Citrix has automated the upgrade of LOM firmware within Citrix ADC MPX software. It is no longer necessary to know your hardware platform or download any LOM firmware.
