Scenario: A NetScaler has two interfaces as 1/1 and 1/2 with MAC-based Forwarding enabled. Below are the specifications:
-Interface 1/1 and IP 192.168.10.10 is bound to VLAN 10.
-On Interface 1/2 VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 are tagged.
-VLAN 20 is bound to IP 192.168.20.10 and VLAN 30 is bound to 192.168.30.10
The NetScaler receives a packet for VIP 192.168.30.30 on interface 1/1.
Which interface of NetScaler will send a reply back in this environment?
In this scenario, the NetScaler has two interfaces, with MAC-based Forwarding enabled. Given that interface 1/1 is bound to VLAN 10 and interface 1/2 is tagged with VLANs 20 and 30, when a packet for VIP 192.168.30.30 is received on interface 1/1, the appropriate interface to respond will be the one corresponding to VLAN 30, which is interface 1/2. Thus, NetScaler will send the reply back through interface 1/2.
B. NetScaler will drop the packet received on interface 1/1
