Assign a net profile for the managed NetScaler instance
When you enable analytics or metrics collector for the virtual servers in NetScaler Console, the AppFlow or metrics data from the NetScaler is exported to NetScaler Console through the NetScaler subnet IP address (SNIP). In some scenarios, the SNIP might be blocked because of the firewall in the network. In such scenarios, you might have to use a different IP address than the SNIP. For more information about net profile, see Use a specified source IP for back-end communication.
You can assign a net profile to a NetScaler instance through NetScaler Console for exporting AppFlow data from NetScaler to NetScaler Console.
