Citrix Certified Associate & Professional – Networking (CCA-N & CCP-N)

Today I passed exam 1Y0-351 after I visited the early access classroom:
CNS-222EAI Early Access: NetScaler for Apps and Desktops
in may 2016. I already passed the CCA-N in August 2016, but forgot to post it here, if I remember correctly.

I’m would like to say, that the new NetScaler Gateway classroom course CNS-222 was a great help and the instructor Paul Berr did a great job!

Since the course I barely use the WebGui anymore, and achieved great progress in CLI only configurations. I built my self several CLI templates for regular tasks and improved my skills from deployment to deployment.

NetScaler CLI Syntax highlighting with Notepad++

Last Friday I had to write a large NetScaler config file. Most of the time I do this in a plain text editor. Then I asked myself, if there is any form of code editor for NetScaler. I didn’t found one after a quick research, but I found a syntax highlighting definition for Notepad++ which is a lot better than nothing 😀
Here is the source, it’s a German website, but you can’t overlook the following line:

“Hier die aktuelle Version [Stand 29.02.2016] : Netscaler.xml”
which means:
“Here is the latest version [Last Update 29th February 2016] : Netscaler.xml”
