The correct answer is D. In-line between the clients and the XenDesktop virtual desktops. To capture network metrics for internal XenDesktop connections without using ICA Proxy, the NetScaler must be physically in the data path between the client and the virtual desktop.

Question

Scenario: CGE wants to use NetScaler Insight to capture network metrics for connections to the Citrix environment. Specifically, CGE wants to capture internal and external end users connecting to XenDesktop. Where in the design should a Citrix Architect place NetScalers to capture the required metrics for internal end users without using ICA Proxy?

Options

  • AIn front of the StoreFront server group
  • BIn-line between the clients and the Delivery Controllers
  • CIn the network DMZ for NetScaler Gateway connections
  • DIn-line between the clients and the XenDesktop virtual desktops

Why each option

To capture network metrics for internal XenDesktop connections without using ICA Proxy, the NetScaler must be physically in the data path between the client and the virtual desktop.

AIn front of the StoreFront server group

Placing the NetScaler in front of the StoreFront server group would capture traffic related to enumeration and launch requests, but not the actual ICA session traffic between the client and the VDA.

BIn-line between the clients and the Delivery Controllers

Placing the NetScaler between clients and Delivery Controllers would capture control plane communication, but not the direct ICA data path to the virtual desktops where the session metrics reside.

CIn the network DMZ for NetScaler Gateway connections

Placing the NetScaler in the DMZ is typically for NetScaler Gateway (ICA Proxy) functionality, which the question explicitly states is not being used for these internal end users.

DIn-line between the clients and the XenDesktop virtual desktopsCorrect

Placing the NetScaler in-line between clients and the XenDesktop virtual desktops allows it to intercept and analyze the ICA protocol traffic, thereby capturing the necessary network metrics for the end-user sessions. This placement ensures that the NetScaler is directly in the data flow of the virtual desktop connections, which is essential for detailed session monitoring via Citrix ADM (formerly NetScaler Insight Center).
