NetScaler 10: What's new network

NetScaler 10: What's new network -

Networking is one of the fundamental elements on which advanced new age ADCs capabilities are built. To be able to deploy ADCs in a variety of scenarios with various L2 / L3 devices, it is important to have the implementation of standards based on configuration options to refine for specific scenarios. Many new trends - such as the evolution of IPv6, the new developments in data center technologies, etc. -. Shaping how ADCs are deployed in the business with more and more use of always available applications

As with each new release, NetScaler 10 introduces many new improvements, optimizations and features that continue to enable new use cases for our clients. Some of the key networking features introduced in NetScaler are:

1. Based Routing Policy (ACB) for IPv6 : PBR for IPv4 was around NetScaler for a long time and is heavily used by customers make custom routing decisions based on conditions corresponding to the movement rather than simply rely on routing tables. Policies can be defined on a combination of L2, L3 and L4 parameters like IP, Port, MAC, VLAN etc. NetScaler 10 PBR support for IPv6.
2. Direct server return (DSR) in L3 mode for IPv6 : DSR allows servers to directly meet customer without return traffic passing by NetScaler. DSR is useful in some high-volume environments where session management is not required on NetScaler. DSR increases the overall capacity of NetScaler as one way traffic passes through it. DSR for IPv6 in L2 mode has been introduced in previous versions, but with NetScaler 10, support for IPv6 L3 DSR mode has also been introduced
3. ISIS Routing Protocol :. ISIS routing protocol is a routing protocol state link (like OSPF) that works on L2. ISIS is still widely used and many times for historical reasons. NetScaler already supports RIP, OSPF and BGP for IPv4 and IPv6 and with this latest release, NetScaler added ISIS support for IPv4 and IPv6 as well
4. Profile Support Network :. Network Profiles is a powerful feature that provides flexibility for administrators to control the source IP address used in communication initiated by NetScaler to the main server. The control allows the IP source in many situations where the servers need to differentiate between customer traffic compared to traffic monitoring or different servers are catering to different departments and access control is applied on the basis of IP addresses. network profiles can be linked to monitors for monitoring the health of traffic, services and vservers to real data traffic
5. Link Load Balancing (LLB) for IPv6 :. Link Load balancing is used to manage the output traffic (Internet) companies that use multiple ISP links for redundancy. LLB ensures optimal distribution of traffic depending on the variety of load balancing algorithms to ensure the optimization and redundancy in case of a link failure. LLB is now supported for IPv6 links and
6. reverse IPv6 NAT (RNAT) :. RNAT for IPv6 IPv6 translation to the IP source is also supported in NetScaler 10.
7. Access Control Lists (ACLs) There are two ACLs improvements in NetScaler 10 for ACLs

- 1) Flush : When simple ACLs are created, they take effect on the new sessions - but to make simple, effective ACLs on existing sessions as well, "flush" may use 2) number of ACLs : limit the number of extended ACLs that can be created on NetScaler was increased to 10K 1K

many other improvements have been introduced, as

1. support / 31 networks
2. SNMP agents on IPv6
3. Extension Header Parsing IPv6 for accurate identification of L4 protocols to implement strategies
4. health monitoring Gateway on both nodes in an HA deployment to ensure proper failover
