08/03/2023, 7:00 PMCool, One thing I was curious about. I see the option for Internal and you put in the public IP of the location or build that the users go out through. But I was wondering what the external one is? I know it means external, but if you list all the internal IP, If it's not in the list I assume it classifies it at external? I was curious. I am sure it play into adaptive access as well. whole other thing I need to dig into soon.

08/03/2023, 7:01 PMI would ask your network team for the egress public IP and subnet

Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:01 PMmost of my IPs are a /32 for each of the VDI location
r
Ray Davis
08/03/2023, 7:02 PMOkay, So it's the public IP of where the VDA lives not so much where the client is at?
k
Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:02 PMcorrect
Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:02 PMwhere the VDI in the datacenter is at

08/03/2023, 7:03 PMThank you. I appreciate the information.

Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:03 PMwait sorry

Ray Davis
08/03/2023, 7:04 PMit does say this "Direct Workload Connection configuration through Citrix Cloud involves creating network locations using the public IP address ranges of each branch location that your internal users connect from" I read that as the location of the client. But I may be mistaken.
k
Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:04 PMit will be the location of the users office
r
Ray Davis
08/03/2023, 7:04 PMCool thanks man
k
Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:04 PMI had to check been awhile
r
Ray Davis
08/03/2023, 7:04 PMno worries
k
Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:05 PMbut if you missed a range they will just get routed to the gateway service
Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:06 PMI like using the location service over the citrix policy that was release not too long ago. The Citrix policy has dependencies
r
Ray Davis
08/03/2023, 7:07 PMOh, I did not know there was a Citrix policy as well for that
k
Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:07 PMYeah to make it easier
Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:08 PMbut putting in an IP is easy enough hahah
r
Ray Davis
08/03/2023, 7:08 PMyea I agree
k
Khanh
08/03/2023, 7:09 PMif you would like smart access lite function. If you are coming from the gateway to apply this policy. You will need to ask Citrix to enable that function

08/03/2023, 8:24 PMNetwork Locations works good Ray. What the other person is talking about is the new"HDX Direct" which is the next iteration of this for intelligent direct connect detection, but only Network Locations allows you do the Adaptive Access policies/tagging.
Oz Zy
08/03/2023, 8:25 PMHDX Direct only works with latest VDAs and CWA combo so not as much in the wild for that one yet for us seeing how good it works. just a few
r
Ray Davis
08/03/2023, 11:06 PMAhh HDX direct. That makes sense now. Thanks Oz for the extra information man. I appreciate it. Great stuff

08/06/2023, 7:13 PM@Ray Davis: I setup a client to use this feature last year, worked great, I was able to include benchmarks using my home lab and put it into this blog post here
