Synopsis

  • Configuration for ip v6 resource.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_path

string

Base NITRO API path.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Default: "nitro/v1/config"

dodad

any

Enable the Citrix ADC to do Duplicate Address

Detection (DAD) for all the Citrix ADC owned IPv6 addresses regardless of whether they are obtained through stateless auto configuration, DHCPv6, or manual configuration.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

managed_netscaler_instance_id

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The ID of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_ip

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The IP of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_name

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The name of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_password

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The password of the managed NetScaler instance.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

In Settings > Administration > System Configurations > Basic Settings,

if you select Prompt Credentials for Instance Login,

ensure to configure username and password of a managed instance.

managed_netscaler_instance_username

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The username of the managed NetScaler instance.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

In Settings > Administration > System Configurations > Basic Settings,

if you select Prompt Credentials for Instance Login,

ensure to configure username and password of a managed instance.

natprefix

any

Prefix used for translating packets from private IPv6 servers to IPv4 packets. This prefix has a length of 96 bits (128-32 = 96). The IPv6 servers embed the destination IP address of the IPv4 servers or hosts in the last 32 bits of the destination IP address field of the IPv6 packets. The first 96 bits of the destination IP address field are set as the IPv6 NAT prefix. IPv6 packets addressed to this prefix have to be routed to the Citrix ADC to ensure that the IPv6-IPv4 translation is done by the appliance.

ndbasereachtime

any

Base reachable time of the Neighbor Discovery (ND6) protocol. The time, in milliseconds, that the Citrix ADC assumes an adjacent device is reachable after receiving a reachability confirmation.

ndretransmissiontime

any

Retransmission time of the Neighbor Discovery (ND6) protocol. The time, in milliseconds, between retransmitted Neighbor Solicitation (NS) messages, to an adjacent device.

netscaler_console_as_proxy_server

boolean

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The IP address of the NetScaler ADC appliance acting as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

nitro_auth_token

string

The authentication token provided by a login operation.

nitro_pass

string

The password with which to authenticate to the NetScaler ADC node.

nitro_protocol

string

Which protocol to use when accessing the nitro API objects.

Choices:

  • "http"

  • "https" ← (default)

nitro_user

string

The username with which to authenticate to the NetScaler ADC node.

nsip

string / required

The ip address of the NetScaler ADC appliance where the nitro API calls will be made.

The port can be specified with the colon (:). E.g. 192.168.1.1:555.

ralearning

any

Enable the Citrix ADC to learn about various routes from Router Advertisement (RA) and Router Solicitation (RS) messages sent by the routers.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

routerredirection

any

Enable the Citrix ADC to do Router Redirection.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

save_config

boolean

If true the module will save the configuration on the NetScaler ADC node if it makes any changes.

The module will not save the configuration on the NetScaler ADC node if it made no changes.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

state

string

The state of the resource being configured by the module on the NetScaler ADC node.

When present, the resource will be added/updated configured according to the module’s parameters.

When unset, the resource will be unset on the NetScaler ADC node.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "unset"

td

any

Integer value that uniquely identifies the traffic domain in which you want to configure the entity. If you do not specify an ID, the entity becomes part of the default traffic domain, which has an ID of 0.

usipnatprefix

any

IPV6 NATPREFIX used in NAT46 scenario when USIP is turned on

validate_certs

boolean

If false, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)
