说起NetScaler,一直没有时间详细的研究,今天有空,研究了下NetScaler的网络部署。

其实,很简单,要了解怎么来部署NetScaler的网络结构,需要了解NetScaler的工作原理,这里大致介绍一下:

Citrix NetScaler is a Web application delivery appliance that makes applications run five times better. Available as a separate hardware network device or as a virtualized appliance, NetScaler optimizes application availability through advanced L4-7 load balancing and traffic management, accelerates performance, increases security with an integrated application firewall and substantially lowers costs by increasing Web server efficiency.

主要作用就是Web加速,SSL ×××的功能,load balancing,access gateway,application firewall等可以了解下。

弄清楚了它的工作原理就很清楚了。它是一个访问网关,转发器。

部署方式主要由两类四种方式,针对四种不同的网络结构。

NetScaler Networking Deployment_hardware

 Two-Arm Mode ,Multiple Subnets

NetScaler Networking Deployment_hardware_02 

Two-Arm Mode,Transparent Mode

NetScaler Networking Deployment_网络结构_03 

One-Arm Mode,Single Subnet

NetScaler Networking Deployment_网络结构_04

One-Arm Mode,Multiple Subnets

看图,能看个大概。解释下图中的几个名词:

One-Arm:单臂

Two-Arm:双臂

NSIP:NetScaler IP Address,NetScaler的管理口地址

VIP:Virtual IP Address,对外提供服务的地址

SNIP:Subnet IP Address,连接内网服务器的地址

MIP:Mapped IP Address,连接内网服务器的地址

GSLBIP:Global Server Load Balancing IP Address,多数据中心做负载均衡时使用的地址
