The monitor message “Time out during TCP connection establishment stage” means that the web server either was not listening or was unreachable. This indicates a network problem.
In the packet capture syn request was being sent but no response and hence times out.
It was a firewall misconfiguration where a rule was causing the issue. After the rule was modified to allow tcp connections, it worked and service came up.

TCP configurations for a NetScaler appliance can be specified in an entity called a TCP profile, which is a collection of TCP settings. The TCP profile can then be associated with services or virtual servers that want to use these TCP configurations.
For convenience of configuration, the NetScaler provides some built-in TCP profiles. For a list of built-in profiles, refer to Citrix Documentation – Built-in TCP Profiles.
For a list of options that are available for a TCP profile, refer to Citrix Documentation – ns tcpProfile.
Note: These values can have serious impacts on network performance. Use these values carefully when adjusting them manually in existing profiles, or when creating new profiles.
Configure the TCP profile:
set ns tcpProfile <profile-name>
Bind the TCP profile to the service or virtual server.
To bind the TCP profile to the service:
set service <name>
For example:
> set service service1 -tcpProfileName profile1
Configure the TCP profile.
Navigate to System >Profiles > TCP Profiles, and create the TCP profile.
Bind the TCP profile to the service or virtual server.
Navigate to Traffic Management > Load Balancing > Services/Virtual Servers, and create the TCP profile, which should be bound to the service or virtual server.
To achieve this, we would have to disable the Use Proxy Port option.
To configure the Use Proxy Port setting on a service by using the configuration utility:
To configure the Use Proxy Port setting on a service by using the CLI:
At the command prompt, type:
set service svc -useproxyport NO
The Use Proxy Port option works only when the Use Source IP/ Use Client IP option is enabled on the Service/Service Group respectively.
Also, this option is enabled by default for TCP-based service types, such as TCP, HTTP, and SSL,
This will allow the backend server to see client IP and source port from which the client tries to connect.
To achieve this, we would have to disable the Use Proxy Port option.
