Citrix ADC 13.1 - ADC is down after changing the NSIP and removing one of the interface on the ADC and binding other interface with different VLAN configurations.

Resolution

Procedure to change NSIP's and SNIP of the Citrix ADC which is configured in HA pair

1. We need disable HA propagation and synchronization. On secondary, go to System > Diagnostics > Clear Configuration. Do a full clear.

2. On primary, go to System > HA, remove the secondary.

3.On secondary, change the NSIP, add the new default route, remove old default route and reboot the device.

4. Need to check on the reachability of the ADC GUI or through putty.

5. Once the secondary node comes up with new IP,  We will have to proceed with primary device which need brief outage from the below steps.

6. On primary, change the NSIP, add the new default route, remove old default route and reboot the device.

7. once the device is Up with new NSIP, Add new SNIP and remove old SNIP if needed.

8. Re-pair the appliances. Make sure we do primary as STAYPRIMARY and secondary as STAYSECONDARY when pairing them together.

9.Once everything is synched, we need to enable the HA.
