if you select Prompt Credentials for Instance Login,

ensure to configure username and password of a managed 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,

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.

ownernode

any

In a cluster setup, assign a cluster node as the owner of this VMAC address for IP based VRRP configuration. If no owner is configured, ow ner node is displayed as ALL and one node is dynamically elected as the owner.

preemption

any

In an active-active mode configuration, make a backup VIP address the master if its priority becomes higher than that of a master VIP address bound to this VMAC address.

If you disable pre-emption while a backup VIP address is the master, the backup VIP address remains master until the original master VIP’s priority becomes higher than that of the current master.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

preemptiondelaytimer

any

Preemption delay time in seconds, in an active-active configuration. If any high priority node will come in network, it will wait for these many seconds before becoming master.

priority

any

Base priority (BP), in an active-active mode configuration, which ordinarily determines the master VIP address.

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

sharing

any

In an active-active mode configuration, enable the backup VIP address to process any traffic instead of dropping it.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

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 absent, the resource will be deleted from the NetScaler ADC node.

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

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

  • "unset"

trackifnumpriority

any

Priority by which the Effective priority will be reduced if any of the tracked interfaces goes down in an active-active configuration.

tracking

any

The effective priority (EP) value, relative to the base priority (BP) value in an active-active mode configuration. When EP is set to a value other than None, it is EP, not BP, which determines the master VIP address.

Available settings function as follows:

* NONE - No tracking. EP = BP

* ALL - If the status of all virtual servers is UP, EP = BP. Otherwise, EP = 0.

* ONE - If the status of at least one virtual server is UP, EP = BP. Otherwise, EP = 0.

* PROGRESSIVE - If the status of all virtual servers is UP, EP = BP. If the status of all virtual servers is DOWN, EP = 0. Otherwise EP = BP (1 - K/N), where N is the total number of virtual servers associated with the VIP address and K is the number of virtual servers for which the status is DOWN.

Default: NONE.

Choices:

  • "NONE"

  • "ONE"

  • "ALL"

  • "PROGRESSIVE"

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)

vrid6_channel_binding

dictionary

Bindings for vrid6_channel_binding resource

binding_members

list / elements=dictionary

List of binding members

Default: []

mode

string

The mode in which to configure the bindings.

If mode is set to desired, the bindings will be added or removed from the target NetScaler ADCs as necessary to match the bindings specified in the state.

If mode is set to bind, the specified bindings will be added to the resource. The existing bindings in the target ADCs will not be modified.

If mode is set to unbind, the specified bindings will be removed from the resource. The existing bindings in the target ADCs will not be modified.

Choices:

  • "desired" ← (default)

  • "bind"

  • "unbind"

vrid6_interface_binding

dictionary

Bindings for vrid6_interface_binding resource

binding_members

list / elements=dictionary

List of binding members

Default: []

mode

string

The mode in which to configure the bindings.

If mode is set to desired, the bindings will be added or removed from the target NetScaler ADCs as necessary to match the bindings specified in the state.

If mode is set to bind, the specified bindings will be added to the resource. The existing bindings in the target ADCs will not be modified.

If mode is set to unbind, the specified bindings will be removed from the resource. The existing bindings in the target ADCs will not be modified.

Choices:

  • "desired" ← (default)

  • "bind"

  • "unbind"

vrid6_trackinterface_binding

dictionary
