4 Introduction Citrix NetScaler optimizes the delivery of web applications increasing security and improving performance and Web server capacity. This approach ensures the best total cost of ownership (TCO), security, availability, and performance for Web applications. The Citrix NetScaler solution is a comprehensive network system that combines high-speed load balancing and content switching with state-of-the-art application acceleration, layer 4-7 traffic management, data compression, dynamic content caching, SSL acceleration, network optimization, and robust application security into a single, tightly integrated solution. Deployed in front of application servers, the system significantly reduces processing overhead on application and database servers, reducing hardware and bandwidth costs. Elfiq Networks is a technology innovator in the field of link balancing for multi homed networks, bringing a unique and integrated approach to advanced link management features. Link Load Balancing involves managing the inbound and outbound traffic from an enterprise firewall to the ISP. Server Load Balancing involves managing the traffic to the backend application servers, which NetScaler is popularly known for. Elfiq LLB units operate at Layer 2 transparently and are compatible with any firewall/vpn connection. Elfiq units use multiple advanced algorithms to efficiently manage bandwidth for performance, availability and failover in case of link failure. Elfiq load balancers also come with advanced features such as traffic segmentation, network segmentation, geographic load balancing, HA pairing, and the mixing of private and public ISP networks. The real value of Elfiq is that it provides redundant connectivity by balancing multiple Internet and private links from various providers at different link speeds. This technology is also known as a WAN load balancer. The Elfiq Link LB differentiates itself by operating at the data link network layer (layer 2) to manage synchronous or asynchronous telecommunication links. This prevents it from having to get involved in using complex protocols such as BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) to support multiple links. It usually resides between the external routers and the firewall, or any other public or private link, and its installation is completely transparent to the rest of the network. When integrated with Citrix NetScaler and/or WanScaler, Elfiq can be added in front (on the internet side) so that it load balances and optimizes which network link should be used when a user connects into the data center. The Elfiq LLB operates on inbound as well as outbound traffic. When connectivity is being deployed to multiple sites with multiple links, Elfiq SitePathMTPX ensures that links carrying corporate services are resilient. IPSec VPN Tunnels and VoIP implementations along side enterprise applications are common examples where SitePathMTPX resilience enables greater performance. With SitePathMTPX, should a link failure occur, traffic will keep flowing on the remaining links without interruption and without intervention from the administration team. This deployment guide was created as the result of validation testing with The Citrix NetScaler, Citrix WanScaler, and Elfiq Link Load Balancers (WAN Load Balancer). The ISP cloud was built with Vyatta Open Source routers running BGPv4 running on XenServer v4.1 inside of a Dell 2950 Server. This deployment guide walks through the step-by-step configuration details of how to configure the Citrix NetScaler application switch, The Citrix WanScaler, and the Elfiq Link Load Balancer. 4

8 Serial: 9600, n, 8, 1 Default IP Address: First time connectivity Serial Connection The NetScaler can be accessed by the serial port through any terminal emulation program. Windows Hyperterm is commonly used on a laptop or workstation. Connect a 9-pin Null Modem cable (or USB-to-9-pin cable) from the computer to the NetScaler s console port. In the terminal emulation program configure the settings for 9600 baud, No stop bits, 8 data bits, and 1 parity bit. The login prompt should appear. The default login is nsroot, nsroot. It is advisable to change the nsroot password once connected. Once connected type in the CLI command configns ( nsconfig if at the shell prompt). Select option 1 to change the NetScaler IP Address and Network Mask. Exit, save and reboot. Ethernet Connection The NetScaler can also be accessed by the default IP Address of , either through an http, https, telnet or ssh connection. Once connected, the login prompt should appear. The default login is nsroot, nsroot. It is advisable to change the nsroot password once connected. Type in the CLI command configns ( nsconfig if at the shell prompt). Select option 1 to change the NetScaler IP Address and Network Mask. Exit, save and reboot. Note: Changing the NetScaler IP Address always requires a reboot. 8

9 NetScaler Configuration Deployment Model: Netscaler Two-Arm Mode, Server Load Balancing, RNAT. The NetScaler in this example will be used in two-arm mode. The NetScaler in Two-Arm mode uses different interfaces for the segmentation of VLAN traffic, providing an additional physical layer of separation. This deployment can easily have been implemented using a Trunk port on the Netscaler and a Layer 2 switch. For incoming connections to the Application server, we will configure a Load Balancing VIP on the Internet facing subnet. For outgoing connections from the internal subnet, we will configure NAT (RNAT - Reverse NAT) to translate internal addresses to public addresses. The WanScaler and Elfiq appliances will sit transparently inline to traffic. Connect to the NetScaler via the NSIP using a web browser. In this example: NS1: Ethernet Note: Java will be installed. Default login is: nsroot, nsroot. 9

10 Licensing The availability of a feature is controlled by a license key. When using the system for the first time, you need to load the license key and then enable the feature. To add new licenses. From the GUI, navigate to NetScaler System Licenses Manage Licenses. Note: Licenses are tied to the hostname of the switch and must match. The hostname can be found under NetScaler System. Make sure the license file is in the correct location. With release 8.0 all license files must be in the /nsconfig/license directory in order to be recognized. Also, check the hosts files in /nsconfig and in /etc, and make sure both include lines for localhost and for the NetScaler hostname as defined in the configuration and /nsconfig/rc.conf. A properly configured hosts file should look similar to the following (using nshost as the example hostname defined for this NetScaler) localhost nshost 10

11 Basic Features Load Balancing is enabled in Basic Features. From the GUI, navigate to NetScaler System Settings Basic Features. Select Load Balancing and click OK. 11

12 Important NetScaler IP Addresses Acronym Description Usage Note: NSIP is Mandatory and requires a reboot. NSIP NetScaler IP Address The NetScaler IP (NSIP) is the management IP address for the appliance, and is used for all management related access to the appliance. There can only be one NSIP. SNIP Subnet IP Address The Subnet IP address (SNIP) allows the user to access an Application Switch from an external host that is residing on another subnet. When a subnet IP address is added, a corresponding route entry is made in the route table. The Application Switch uses the SNIP as the source IP Address for outgoing packets, when the USNIP mode is enabled. USNIP is enabled by default. (With USNIP enabled, configuration of MIP is unnecessary). The SNIP can also be used as the Tagged VLAN IP, and for RNAT. MIP Mapped IP Address The mapped IP address (MIP) is becoming outdated. It has traditionally been used by the Application Switch to represent the client when communicating with the backend managed server. Mapped IP addresses (MIP) were used for server-side connections and can be used for Reverse NAT. Think of this as the client s source address on the server-side of the Application Switch, assuming a two-arm proxy deployment. When using the USNIP mode above, MIP s are unnecessary. VIP Virtual IP Address The Virtual Server IP address (VIP) is used by the Application Switch to represent the public facing ip address of the managed services. ARP and ICMP attributes on this IP address allow users to host the same vserver on multiple Application Switches residing on the same broadcast domain. DFG Default Gateway IP Address of the router that forwards traffic outside of the subnet where the appliance is installed. Note: USNIP mode is enabled by default. If both USIP mode and USNIP mode are enabled, USIP mode takes precedence over USNIP mode. IP Addresses, Interfaces and VLANs Assigning IP Addresses to Interfaces is done virtually through the use of port based VLANs. By default, all the interfaces on the system are in a single port-based VLAN as untagged interfaces. This VLAN is the default VLAN with a VID equal to 1. When an interface is added to a new VLAN as an untagged member, the interface is automatically removed from the default VLAN and placed in the new VLAN. This becomes a convenient feature, such that when we plug the Netscaler into a Switch that is using VLANs with tagging, we only need to check the box, to turn on tagging. VLANs are typically used to separate subnet traffic. If Trunking is turned On, you will see an interface as a member of more than one VLAN. 12

13 Add the remaining IP Addresses IP Addresses (SNIPs) that are used for routing between VLANs, RNAT and BGP are added separately according to the table in the network diagram. Note that VIP addresses are created later during Load Balancing configuration, not at this time. The following screen shots are for the HQ NetScaler. Add the remaining IP Addresses. NetScaler Network IPs Add. Note: Dynamic Routing must be enabled on the Subnet IP (SNIP) for these routes to be propagated in routing protocols. Make sure you take this opportunity to Save the configuration on both the Primary and Secondary NetScalers. 13

14 Create VLANs and Assign Subnet IP Addresses to them. NetScaler Network VLANs Add. Note: For this example: We create VLANs 65 & 172. We assign VLAN 65 to Interface 1/8 and VLAN 172 to interface 1/7. (We did not use VLAN Trunking in this deployment, but easily could have by turning on trunking on one of the NetScaler interfaces, and assigning VLANs 65 & 172 to it). Interface 1/2 is our management interface, in VLAN 1. NetScaler Network VLANs, to add VLAN and Interface assignments on the Application Switch. Be sure to bind the ip address to each VLAN, and enable dynamic routing. Note: Dynamic Routing must be enabled on the VLAN for these routes to be propagated to routing protocols. 14

15 RNAT Configuration About RNAT The NetScaler system supports Reverse Network Address Translation (RNAT) or NAT for outbound connections. When the system performs RNAT, it replaces the source IP addresses of packets generated by the back-end servers with a NAT IP address. The NAT IP address is a public IP address. By default, the NAT IP address is a MIP. However, you can configure the system to use a Subnet IP address as the NAT IP addresses, which we do in this deployment guide. From the GUI, navigate to NetScaler Network Routing Configure RNAT Create. With this configuration all internal private ip addresses that originate in the network will be translated (NAT d) to as they reach the public internet. We added a separate SNIP to be used for the public NAT address, but could have also used the SNIP to save ip addresses. 15

16 Load Balancing Configuration About Server Load Balancing Server Load Balancing is used for incoming connections to Application servers. Load balancing allows you to distribute requests sent to a particular virtual server (vserver or VIP) evenly across several physical servers. A client sends a request to the virtual server, which selects a physical server in the server farm and directs the request to the selected physical server. Load balancing allows the Application Switch to choose the physical server with the lowest load and greatest available resources : Configuring Load Balancing is a simple process performed by creating objects within the Citrix Application Switch. We create the objects in logical formation from the backend servers to the forward facing internet IP Address: 1) Create Servers 2) Create Services 3) Create Load Balancing VIPs w/persistence Create Server Objects Create server objects that point to the backend Application and Database servers. We can refer to these servers by name as opposed to IP Address, and can then assign availability monitors to them. Create server objects for the Application and Database servers on the backend. From the GUI, navigate to NetScaler Load Balancing Servers Add. 16

17 Create Service Groups Service Groups are containers for managing load balancing and SSL services to several instances of the same service (port number) on the same or different servers (ip address). Add the Service Group for the HQ Application Server. From the GUI, navigate to NetScaler Load Balancing Service Groups Add. Select an availability monitor to keep in contact with the server/service. If the service goes down, load balancing will mark it down and send traffic to the other available servers/services. Select the Monitors tab. Select http-ecv. http-ecv uses a GET request. Monitors can be added or modified. 17

18 To get the most performance, select the Advanced tab and turn on Compression and TCP Buffering. The compression computation is an off-loaded task for both http and https from the Application servers. Select the Advanced tab, check TCP Buffering and Compression. Select OK. Add the Server Load Balancing Virtual Server. NetScaler Load Balancing Virtual Servers Add. Create LB Virtual Server Objects (VIPs) The Virtual Server or Virtual IP Address is the logical entity on the system that accepts client connections from the Internet and distributes them to the service groups/objects. The Vserver or VIP is the public facing internet connection. In this example: Our public facing IP Address for the Application server is on port

19 Load Balancing Methods & Persistence The Citrix Application Switch is capable of several Load Balancing Methods. In order to direct traffic correctly to the Application servers, the Citrix Application Switch can also be configured to persist traffic. Select the Methods and Persistence tab. Select the LB Method Round Robin. By default the Citrix Application Switch uses the Least Connections load balancing algorithm, but can be changed to Round Robin. Several persistence methods are available. Make sure you take this opportunity to Save the configuration on both the Primary and Secondary switches. 19

20 WanScaler WAN Optimization For WAN Acceleration to occur, all packets in the TCP connection must pass through two WANScaler appliances or the WANScaler client and the remote WANScaler appliance. The WANScaler appliance uses an accelerated bridge (two Ethernet ports) for inline mode; packets enter one Ethernet port and exit through the other. As far as the rest of the network is concerned, it is as though the WANScaler weren t there at all; its operation is completely transparent. In Inline mode, data flows in one accelerated Ethernet port and out the other. This requires no router configuration or changes to the firewall or NetScaler. Inline mode offers the highest performance and operates transparently to the traffic. For configuration the WanScaler can be accessed by the serial port through any terminal emulation program, similarly to the NetScaler. Windows Hyperterm is commonly used on a laptop or workstation. Connect a 9-pin Null Modem cable (or USB-to-9-pin cable) from the computer to the WanScalers console port. In the terminal emulation program configure the settings for 9600 baud, No stop bits, 8 data bits, and 1 parity bit. The default login is admin, wanscaler. It is advisable to change the admin password once connected. 20

21 WanScaler Headquarters Configuration To configure the management IP Address, you need 4 commands: address, netmask, gateway and restart. The following is the configurationg of the management ip address for the HQ WanScaler: > address Address set to: Connect to the WanScaler with a console cable. The default username and password is admin, wanscaler. Configure the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway. Restart the Wanscaler. > netmask NetMask set to: > gateway Gateway set to: > restart Connect to the WanScaler with a web browser and login. The default username and password is admin, wanscaler. Configure the Bandwidth Settings by selecting Bandwidth Management. In this example: We are using Hardboost, with a send and receive rate of 1.5 Mbps (1500 Kbps) equivalent to a T1. Note: These setting need to match the other side at the remote or client. 21

22 WanScaler Remote Configuration > address Address set to: Restart is required before change becomes effective. > netmask NetMask set to: > gateway Gateway set to: > restart 22

23 To verify traffic is being accelerated through the WANScaler, view the Usage graph. From the GUI, navigate to Monitoring Usage Graph. In order for traffic to be accelerated, the WANScaler needs to recognize it as an Active Connection. From the GUI, navigate to Monitoring Active Connection. 23

24 Elfiq - WAN Link Load Balancing Configuration and Management Elfiq s Link Load Balancer product line is a natural complement to technologies such as the Citrix WANScaler. Different link types and speeds can be aggregated together to provide cost-effective, scalable and manageable large virtual links while also providing network resilience. This means that you are not dependent on a single ISP and/or technology. Specific traffic can be sent down (or up) specific links and be instantly redirected during a failure. Elfiq is placed outside of the Firewall, WanScaler and NetScaler so not reconfiguration of these elements is necessary. Elfiq operates at Layer 2, which enables it to be installed transparently without modifying an existing network. Because operations are handled at the 2nd layer of the OSI model (Data Link Layer), no network port used by Elfiq for a WAN/ISP connection has an IP address and therefore cannot be compromised by Internet-based attacks. In a Layer-2 concept, organizations use the existing link connected to the firewall as the main link for configurations. Should network alterations be required, the link can be reconnected directly to the firewall without any configuration requirement. With the primary link, a single set of security policies are required on the firewall for easy management. Elfiq s units are inline (or transparent) units which can integrate into any network and, because of the layer- 2 implementation, are compatible with any firewall/vpn. All Elfiq units use multiple advanced algorithms to efficiently manage bandwidth for performance, availability and failover in case of link failure. Algorithms can be selected for each link, service port or IP address. In this guide we configured the Elfiq to demonstrate it s load balancing and failover capabilities and operation transparently at Layer 2. 24

25 The Elfiq can initially be configured through the console cable. Once configured with an IP Address, the Elfiq Explorer provides a GUI interface into the appliance. Changes to the System configuration can be made in the System CLI interface. Changes to the Load Balancing configuration can be made in the VFI0 CLI interface. 25
