This article describes how to change the default IP address, 192.168.100.1, of the NetScaler appliance.

The NetScaler appliance has the .ns.conf.default file in the /var/nstmp directory. This file contains the default configuration of the NetScaler appliance. If the appliance does not have the ns.conf file in the /nsconfig directory, the appliance uses the configuration from this file.

Instructions

The following are the default contents of the /var/nstmp/.ns.conf.default file:

set ns config -IPAddress 192.168.100.1 -netmask 255.255.0.0
enable ns feature SP WL
enable ns mode FR L3 Edge USNIP

1. Open the /var/nstmp/.ns.conf.default file in a text editor, such as the vi editor, and replace the default IP address in the file.

2. Save and close the file and restart the appliance. When the appliance restarts, the contents of this file are copied to the /nsconfig/ns.conf file.
