About connectivity profiles and Network Access
A connectivity profile defines connectivity and client settings for a Network Access session.
A connectivity profile contains:
- Compression settings for network access connections and application tunnels
- Citrix client settings
- Virtual servers and DNS-location awareness settings for BIG-IP® Edge Client® for Windows, Mac, and Linux
- Password caching settings for BIG-IP Edge Client for Windows, Mac, and mobile clients
- Settings for mobile clients
A connectivity profile is also associated with customizable client download packages for Edge Client for Windows and Edge Client for Mac.
About a connectivity profile and traffic handling
If a connectivity profile is assigned to a virtual server, it creates a secure connectivity (tunnel) interface. Traffic that is allowed through the tunnel is matched against any virtual servers enabled on the tunnel interface. If a matching virtual server is found, the traffic goes to the virtual server before going out to the network. Network access, portal access, iSession, and mobile app tunnel traffic are allowed through the tunnel and the same traffic handling is applied to all of them.
