2. In the Network page, clear the Shared Network check box and click Configure Interface > Create IP Network to create an IP network for the management IP (NIC 1/1) and click Create. Specify the other details in the Configure IP Network Interface window and click Save. Repeat the steps for NIC 1/2 and NIC 1/3. For more information, see IP Network Options at this page: Creating an Instance from the Instances Page.

Note

In Configure IP Network Interface,  select the Default Gateway check box.

Set Public IP Address to Auto Generated for NIC 1/1 and 1/2 and specify private IP addresses for all three NICs.

3. On the Storage page, you can attach existing storage volumes to your instance, if necessary, or create storage volumes and attach them to the instance. In this example, select the default storage.

4. On the Review page, verify the information that you’ve entered, and then click Create.

Monitor the status of the instance. When the status is shown as “Running,” the instance is ready

5. Create an IP Address Prefix Set. For more information about how to create an IP address prefix set, see Creating an IP Address Prefix Set.

6. Create Security Protocols. For more information about how to create a security protocol, see Creating a Security Protocol for IP Networks.

7. Create Security Rules. For more information about how to create a security rule for IP networks, see Creating a Security Rule for IP Networks.

Configure NetScaler owned IP addresses and an LB vServer

1. Configure the NetScaler owned IP addresses by using the NetScaler GUI or the command “add ns ip.” For more information, see Configuring NetScaler-Owned IP Addresses.

2. Configure the NetScaler instance as a load balancing virtual server (LB vServer). For more information, see Set up basic load balancing.
