Communication in a cluster setup
The interfaces of Citrix ADC appliances that are added to a cluster are prefixed with a node ID. It helps identify the cluster node to which the interface belongs. Therefore, the interface identifier c/u, where c is the controller number and u is the unit number, now becomes n/c/u, where n is the node ID. For example, in the following figure, interface 1/2 of node n1 is represented as 0/1/2, interface 1/1 of node n2 is represented as 1/1/1, and interface 1/4 of node n3 is represented as 2/1/4.

- Server communication- The cluster communicates with the server through the physical connections between the cluster node and the server-side connecting device. The logical grouping of these physical connections is called the server data plane.
- Client communication- The cluster communicates with the client through the physical connections between the cluster node and the client-side connecting device. The logical grouping of these physical connections is called the client data plane.
-
Inter-node communication- The cluster nodes can also communicate with each other. The manner in which they communicate depends on whether the node exists on the same network or across networks.
- Cluster nodes within the same network communicate with each other by using the cluster backplane. The backplane is a set of interfaces in which one interface of each node is connected to a common switch, which is called the cluster backplane switch. The different types of traffic that goes through the backplane, which is used by internode communication are:
- Node to Node Messaging (NNM)
- Steered traffic
- Configuration propagation and synchronization
- Each node of the cluster uses a special MAC cluster backplane switch address to communicate with other nodes through the backplane. The cluster special MAC is of the form:
0x02 0x00 0x6F <cluster_id> <node_id> <reserved>)
, wherecluster_id
is the cluster instance ID,node_id
is the node number of the Citrix ADC appliance that is added to a cluster.
- Cluster nodes within the same network communicate with each other by using the cluster backplane. The backplane is a set of interfaces in which one interface of each node is connected to a common switch, which is called the cluster backplane switch. The different types of traffic that goes through the backplane, which is used by internode communication are:
The following figures shows the communication interfaces in L2 clusters and L3 clusters.
