The title is a bit of a mouth full!  Basically with NetScaler 11 onwards, Content Switching is now supported for both web applications and NetScaler Gateway.  This is great news which will allow people to conserve more services behind less IP addresses. I wanted to test this out for myself, so I span up a NetScaler in my lab and started the configuration.  I wanted to enable AAA so that I could pre-authenticate requests into my web applications (Outlook Web Access in my lab).  The below picture shows an overview (check out the Citrix article it is linked from!) http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX201949 Firstly I completed the NetScaler Gateway Wizard and ensured that I could authenticate and launch desktops from my XD7.11 lab. Next I followed Dave Bretty's blog to Content Switch the NetScaler Gateway VS and a newly created VS for OWA. Then I created an Authentication VS, then created a policy which say any requests to the AAA address would go to the...

What have I learnt this week? Wireless Whilst 5GHz channels do not overlap, it all depends on how your access points are configured.  We found that setting up different APs on adjacent channels seemed good, but realised that the APs was broadcasting 80mhz wide and therefore caused overlap. We reduced this down to 40Mhz which decreased the interference but it is also worth bearing in mind that narrowing this channel will slightly decrease total throughput. I found this decent webpage which covers the above and other Enterprise WiFi considerations. http://www.metageek.com/training/resources/design-dual-band-wifi.html On this, I updated my WiFi logging powershell script.  It collects data every 2 seconds and includes channel being used which is useful for the above. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 While ( $a = 1) { Try { Sleep 2 $time = Get-Date -Format T ...
