Description

TCP configurations for a NetScaler appliance can be specified in an entity called a TCP profile, which is a collection of TCP settings. The TCP profile can then be associated with services or virtual servers that want to use these TCP configurations.

Built-in TCP Profiles

For convenience of configuration, the NetScaler provides some built-in TCP profiles. For a list of built-in profiles, refer to Citrix Documentation - Built-in TCP Profiles .

To specify service or virtual server level TCP configurations

Command line interface

  1. Configure the TCP profile:
    set ns tcpProfile <profile-name>

  2. Bind the TCP profile to the service or virtual server.
    To bind the TCP profile to the service:
    set service <name>

    For example:
    > set service service1 -tcpProfileName profile1

Configuration utility

  1. Configure the TCP profile.
    Navigate to System > Profiles > TCP Profiles, and create the TCP profile.

  2. Bind the TCP profile to the service or virtual server.
    Navigate to Traffic Management > Load Balancing > Services/Virtual Servers, and create the TCP profile, which should be bound to the service or virtual server.
