The various steps to be FOLLOWED prior to configuring Netscaler are:

1. Check that the network topology is well planned and configured properly. The network entity also requires the load balanced SERVERS that are in place of the same subnet. It affects the network and the way it is being constructed. 

2. Select a plan in which the Virtual IP address is used and the port is also configured. After configuring only the load balancing can be done. That allows easy configuration system and allow easy to IMPLEMENT the server. 

3. Installing of the NetScaler takes place in the Data Center that is connected through switches and hubs and allow other parts to be connected for the communication. 

4. Initialization of NetScaler is done using the license keys provided by the vendor and then assigning of the IP address is also done. 

5. Setup allows all the high performance to be selected so that the server can be considered in high availability. 

6. Configuration of the Network Gateway, Subnet, and other networking components is being done for the use of VLANs that is used by NetScaler. This makes the server to see which server can be used for load balancing.

7. Set up of the machines allows the application and the networking to be configured properly. This also allows different components to be connected to the server properly.
