Scenario: A Citrix Architect has set up NetScaler MPX devices in high availability mode with version 12.0.53.13 nc. These are placed behind a Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall. The Cisco ASA Firewall is configured to block traffic using access control lists. The network address translation (NAT) is also performed on the firewall. The following requirements were captured by the architect during the discussion held as part of the NetScaler security implementation project with the customer's security team: The NetScaler MPX device: should monitor the rate of traffic either on a specific virtual entity or on the device. It should be able to mitigate the attacks from a hostile client sending a flood of requests. The NetScaler device should be able to stop the HTTP, TCP, and DNS based requests. needs to protect backend servers from overloading. needs to queue all the incoming requests on the virtual server level instead of the service level. should provide protection against well-known Windows exploits, virus-infected personal computers, centrally managed automated botnets, compromised webservers, known spammers/hackers, and phishing proxies. should provide flexibility to enforce the decided level of security check inspections for the requests originating from a specific geolocation database. should block the traffic based on a pre-determined header length, URL length, and cookie length. The device should ensure that characters such as a single straight quote ("); backslash (\); and semicolon (;) are either blocked, transformed, or dropped while being sent to the backend server. Which security feature should the architect configure to meet these requirements?

Which parameter must a Citrix Architect configure to ensure that HDX Proxy Connection terminates upon AAA Session TimeOut?

Scenario: Based on a discussion between a Citrix Architect and a team of Workspacelab members, the MPX Logical layout for Workspacelab has been created across three (3) sites. They captured the following requirements during the design discussion held for a NetScaler design project: All three (3) Workspacelab sites (DC, NDR, and DR) will have similar NetScaler configurations and design. Both external and internal NetScaler MPX appliances will have Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) configured and deployed in Active/Passive mode. GSLB should resolve both A and AAA DNS queries. In the GSLB deployment, the NDR site will act as backup for the DC site, whereas the DR site will act as backup for the NDR site. When the external NetScaler replies to DNS traffic coming in through Cisco Firepower IPS, the replies should be sent back through the same path. On the internal NetScaler, both the front-end VIP and backend SNIP will be part of the same subnet. The external NetScaler will act as default gateway for the backend servers. All three (3) sites, DC, NDR, and DR, will have two (2) links to the Internet from different service providers configured in Active/Standby mode. Which design decision must the architect make the design requirements above?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to deploy a NetScaler appliance for Workspacelab, which will provide application load balancing services to Partnerlab and Vendorlab. The setup requirements are as follows: A pair of NetScaler MPX appliances will be deployed in the DMZ network. High availability will be accessible on the NetScaler MPX in the DMZ Network. Load balancing should be performed for the mail servers for Partnerlab and Vendorlab. The traffic for both of the organizations must be isolated. Separate Management accounts must be available for each client. The load-balancing IP addresses must be identical. A separate VLAN must be utilized for communication for each client. Which solution can the architect utilize to meet the requirements?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is asked by management at the Workslab organization to review their existing configuration and make the necessary upgrades. The architect recommends small changes to the pre-existing NetScaler configuration. Currently, the NetScaler MPX devices are configured in a high availability pair, and the outbound traffic is load-balanced between two Internet service providers 9ISPs). However, the failover is NOT happening correctly. The following requirements were discussed during the design requirements phase: The return traffic for a specific flow should be routed through the same path while using Link Load Balancing. The link should fail over if the ISP router is up and intermediary devices to an ISP router are down. Traffic going through one ISP router should fail over to the secondary ISP, and the traffic should NOT flow through both routers simultaneously. What should the architect configure with Link Load balancing (LLB) to meet this requirement?
