Configure the appliance to communicate with the appliance proxy

Last published : Sep 03, 2026
When you deploy NetScaler Gateway in a double-hop DMZ, you must configure NetScaler Gateway in the first DMZ to communicate with the NetScaler Gateway proxy in the second DMZ.
If you deploy multiple appliances in the second DMZ, you configure each appliance in the first DMZ to communicate with every proxy appliance in the second DMZ.
Note: If you want to use IPv6, you configure the next hop server by using the configuration utility. To do so, expand NetScaler Gateway \> Resources and then click Next Hop Servers. Follow the steps in the following procedure and then select the IPv6 check box.
