This article contains information about activating various features and modes of a NetScaler appliance.

Background

On the NetScaler appliance, there is no help available for the enable ns feature and enable ns mode commands.

Starting NetScaler software release 9.0, you can display the acronyms of the feature by using the show ns feature command and the acronyms for the modes by running the show ns mode command.
