NetScaler appliance configuration support in a cluster
Clustering of NetScaler appliances is supported from NetScaler 10 onwards.
The following table lists the NetScaler appliance configurations that are not supported in NetScaler 10 and also gives the status of the features in subsequent releases.
Important
Unless specified otherwise in this table, all NetScaler appliance features are supported in a cluster.
The “Node-level” entry in the table indicates that the feature is supported only on individual cluster nodes.
